OLQP Debating Team Victorious!

On Thursday, the 10th of September, the Year Five Debating team had the opportunity to compete in the Delany Cup Debating Grand Final.

Julia Kable, Sophia Santos, Victoria Carr and I were lucky enough to come back to school victorious, knowing that we had worked hard to win the Delany Cup.

It was a friendly debate between our school and St Margaret Mary’s; we have became close friends from the previous debates. We were pleased with the great sportsmanship shown by the girls from St Margaret Mary’s and liked the way they politely congratulated us

We would especially like to thank Mrs Dwyer, Mr Hopley and Mrs Garzaniti for supporting us during our debates. We would also like to thank the Delany Staff and students for welcoming us and holding the debate in their school. Another warm thanks to Mrs Carr and Mrs Barker for giving up their time to take some students to and from Delany College.

So now we are Delany Colleges 2015 Debating champions!! We are so proud of this achievement.

ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Today we celebrate the Feast Day of the Assumption of Our Lady when according to our faith, the Holy Mother, “having completed her course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory”. The Assumption signals the end of Mary’s earthly life and marks her return to heaven to be reunited with Jesus. While the bodies of both Jesus and Mary are now in heaven, there is a difference between the Assumption and the Resurrection. Where Jesus arose from the tomb and ascended into heaven by his own power, Mary’s body was taken up to heaven by the power of her Son. Hail Mary Mother of God. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
