Miss Pepin handing out a special Walk to School sticker.
Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is an annual, national event when all Primary School children are encouraged to walk and commute safely to school.
This community event aims to promote Road Safety, Health, Public Transport and the Environment.
Some of our participants crossing the road for Walk to School Day.
The support shown by the parents was amazing. They parked 5-10minutes away from the school and walked the rest of the way to the school gates. We even had families walk to school. Greeting the students and parents at the gates were some Year Six students, Miss Pepin and Miss D’Mello who handed out a special sticker for participating.
Some parents downloaded the 'Walk Safely App'. Those parents registered and had their child's participation recorded on the national database.

As if our OLA Waterslide Day wasn’t fun enough, we also enjoyed the most delicious soft serve ice creams on the same day! Such a lovely treat from Mr Calabria that made the day even sweeter. Sunshine, slides, and ice cream- what more could we ask for?

Each student was chosen by their teachers for their consistent effort, kindness, and positive attitude throughout Term 4. As the final assembly for the year, it was a joy to acknowledge their dedication and achievements- what a wonderful way to finish 2025. We are so proud of them!
