On the 24th April, Year 2 were fortunate to have Ms Bonello come and speak to the children about ANZAC Day and the significance of this day.
Ms Bonello spoke about her Hunter's dad's experience in the Navy and showed the children some photos and medals. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.
Hunter’s father is in the Navy and Hunter’s mum came before ANZAC day a 100 years after it happened. I learnt it happened in Gallipoli. I saw some of Todd’s things (Hunter’s dad) like his medals. We also got to see pictures of him and his family.

I learnt about the Navy. The most interesting thing I learnt about is that they have a big ship and there are lots of guns on the ship. Each thing they did, they got a medal. All the people worked very hard. Each time they go somewhere they wear a special hat. They have lots of uniforms and have sailed to lots of countries.

I learnt about the Navy. The most important thing I learnt about is they have a big ship and they get lots of medals. They have sailed to lots of countries like Japan and America. They also have lots of guns on the ship. The Navy protects us and keeps us safe.

As part of our Winter Embrace initiative in support of the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal 2026, OLQP hosted a Vinnies School Sleepout. The Winter Sleepout gave the students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of homelessness and disadvantage by taking part in an overnight experience that raises awareness, empathy and solidarity with those doing it tough during the cold winter months. This was an overnight event which was held last Friday 19th June on OLQP school premises. During the evening, the students participated in a liturgy and a variety of meaningful activities that allowed them to deepen their understanding of the hardships faced by people experiencing homelessness in Australia during winter. Students also had the opportunity to work alongside students from St Paul's Catholic High School.

We currently have a large amount of lost property, including jumpers, lunchboxes, drink bottles and other items that have not been labelled. A bucket containing these items has been placed at the front gate, outside the office. We would appreciate it if parents could please take a moment to look through the items and collect anything that may belong to their child. We kindly ask that all clothing, lunchboxes and drink bottles are clearly labelled to help ensure lost items can be returned to their owners. Please note that any unclaimed items will unfortunately need to be disposed of. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Our Little Disciples lunchtime group enjoyed making decade Rosary beads while learning about the special role of Mary in our faith. Teaching children to pray the Rosary helps them grow closer to Jesus through Mary’s loving guidance and encourages a lifelong connection to prayer. We are proud of our students for embracing this beautiful Catholic tradition and deepening their faith.

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth. We all can have God in our lives if we open our hearts to the possibility, and families are an especially potent way to bring, keep, and reinforce God in our hearts. God may not be as literally present as the visitation between Mary and Elizabeth, but the essence of that reunion can still spark within us a joy and inspiration from our own families that matches Mary’s and Elizabeth’s Godly proclamations.
