Some of the students in Years 1 to 4 showing off their achievements.
Students in Years 1 to 4 attended the Windsor Function Centre to participate in the Verse Speaking section of the Hawkesbury Eisteddfod, run by the Hawkesbury City Council.
"We had to get on stage and perform two different styles of poems and competed against many schools. It was very nerve racking experience getting on stage and performing our poems to lots of parents, judges and students"said Eoin in Yr 4.
"Even though it was a challenge, it is a very good experience as we learnt how to present poems using expression to deliver our poems and standing up in front a large group of people," added Charli.
Congratulation to Year 1 for their Highly Commended, Year 2 for 2nd Place, Year 3 for 1 st Place and Year 4 for 4th Place.

Our Infants students absolutely loved their special visit from Sue Whiting last week. They were captivated by her stories and especially enjoyed listening to her book about Sidney from Sydney. Meeting a real author made Book Week even more exciting for our youngest learners! A big thank you to Sue for inspiring our students and sharing her love of storytelling with us.

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

Today our OLA students filled the playground with colour, creativity and so much joy as they stepped into the shoes of their favourite book characters. It was a wonderful celebration of our shared love of reading. We also enjoyed one of our favourite traditions- Rug Reading, where students relaxed with their books and soaked up the magic of stories together. And to top it all off, our staff surprised everyone with their own version of “We’re Going on an OLA Koala Hunt”, which had students cheering, laughing and joining in. A huge thank you to all our families for the incredible effort you put into costumes and to everyone who joined us today. Your support makes these events truly special! At OLA, we proudly READ TO SUCCEED.
