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.

Last week our Year 6 FIAT team had a wonderful day at Nagle College for LIFTED Jnr, a diocesan faith‑formation experience run by Catholic Youth Parramatta. With the theme “Finding Purpose with Pentecost”, guest speaker Lou Daniels invited students to reflect on two big questions: What is our purpose? and How does the Holy Spirit help us live it out? Through singing, dancing, prayer, and rich discussion, our students showed maturity, enthusiasm, and a genuine openness to faith and leadership. They represented our school with pride and kindness. A warm thank you to our parents for supporting transport and making this valuable experience possible. Thank you also to Mrs Hodgess and Mrs Aspinal for accompanying our students.

On Friday, we gathered as a community to honour and celebrate our OLA mums. Year 1 led a beautiful liturgy and prayer, reminding us of the gift of motherhood. Our assembly that followed was filled with heartfelt performances- joyful songs, our Senior Dance Group, a moving Year 3 item inspired by Billy Joel, an Irish blessing for our mums, the choir, and the students performing the Nutbush! Thank you, Mr Lee, for coordinating this celebration for us. Thank you to our wonderful teachers for preparing students and welcoming families into classrooms, to our P&F for the lovely morning tea, and to all who joined us. May God bless all our OLA mums for the love they give so generously.
