Students 'C' Success

Ella O. and Elijah K.

Our Lady of the Angels Primary students are picking up the 5 Cs of 21st Century learning in a fun manner.

The 5 Cs are for creativity, collaboration, co-operation, communication and critical thinking.

According to principal Eva La Rocca, in the primary grades, this is done through project based learning (PBL) while the kindergarten students use discovery learning.

“This style of learning develops skills in the areas of creativity, collaboration, co-operation, communication and critical thinking,” Ms La Rocca said.

Kindergarten’s Elijah Katzer chose the Australian bush for his environmental subject, because, “I love snakes”.

Year 5 students finished their PBL unit of the three states of matter with a day of cooking, heating, cooling and freezing all sorts of matter.

Ella Owen had fun turning her solids into liquid before adding heat to make solid again — in the form of a yummy cake.

Year 3 had a blast during their Science Incursion with Ranger Jamie’s team this week! They explored forces through hands-on activities like slime-making, billy cart rides, and rocket launching. The highlight? A liquid nitrogen explosion that sent 1,000 ping pong balls flying! Ranger Tash praised our students for their enthusiasm and said OLA was the cleanest school she’s visited. Well done, Year 3!

Year 1 had a fantastic time during their Sydney Zoo incursion this week! Students got up close with animals like a stick insect, frog, blue tongue lizard, and even a snake – all while learning about habitats, features, and needs of living things. What an excellent hands-on experience!
