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.

How exciting to see our school featured in The Daily Telegraph again today. A lovely story was published about the identical triplets who will also be starting Kindergarten with us this year. Only two more sleeps until we officially welcome our beautiful new Kindergarten students into the OLA family. We can’t wait to see their bright smiles and begin this special journey with them!

There’s something special about the energy of a new school year- a mix of excitement, curiosity, and endless possibility. We wish every child and every family a wonderful year at OLA in 2026!
