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.

On Thursday, our Year 3 students were thrilled to welcome Jacqui from Travelbugs for a captivating science incursion! From leaf insects and millipedes to a scorpion, huntsman spider, and even a rhinoceros beetle, students got up close with some truly fascinating creatures. It was a hands-on experience that sparked curiosity, encouraged thoughtful questions, and deepened their understanding of living things. A big thank you to Travelbugs for bringing the natural world into our classroom!

Well done to the three teams that each played five games of touch football in the hot sun at the Touch Football Gala Day at The Kingsway last Friday. All 3 teams scored plenty of tries and not many against them, and tried their absolute best. These days don't run well without the help and support of our wonderful OLA parents, family, and teachers. Special thanks to Mr Pendlebury ( Girls team), Mrs Chong (Team Navy) and Mrs Clarke (Team Teal). Thank you for the time and effort you put into coaching our teams, and thank you to Mrs Batten and Miss Smith for attending too.

Last week, all grades were invited to the FIAT All Saints Day Treasure Hunt. The Faith In Action Team students led the participants in activities to learn more about some of our saints, such as Saint Mary of the Cross and Saint Carlo Acutis. The students took time to write a prayer of intercession to their chosen saint. Great thanks go to the FIAT for leading our younger students in their search for information.
