Cheque for $40 000
In 2014 the Parents and Friends Committee of OLQP submitted an application to the State Government, through the "Community Building Partnership Program", for funds to improve our school environment.
We were successful in attaining a generous grant that will be used to establish a multi-purpose court. This area will be used by the Pre-School students, St. Paul's College students, local netball and basketball teams and a local Fitness Company (RAW 24) that caters for children and adults.
It is a much needed playground area for our Primary School students who will be using constantly for their sports programs. We would like to thank Mr Tony Issa MP who supported our application. Last Monday (9th Feb) he presented a cheque to our school for $40,000. We would also like to thank the State Government for their grant initiatives and our P&F, who submitted the application.
Michael Hopley, Principal, thanks Tony Issa

We celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. The Assumption of Mary is a Catholic doctrine of faith stating that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was assumed (taken up) body and soul into Heaven at the end of her life. The Catholic Church celebrates this important feast day on 15 August and, in Australia, it is a Holy Day of Obligation. Feast of the Assumption Prayer O Blessed Virgin Mary, united to the victorious Christ in heaven, you are the image and first-flowering of the Church as she is to be perfected in the world to come. You shine forth as a sign of sure hope and solace for the pilgrim People of God. In your Assumption, you manifest the fullness of redemption and appear as the spotless image of the Church responding in joy to the invitation of the Bridegroom, your Son, who is the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. Grant that we may follow your example on earth thereby imitating your Son as well and being enabled to share your glory, with Him for all eternity. Amen. 🙏💐💖

It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

Year 2’s Adventure at Lizard Log! 🦎🌿 Our Year 2 students had an absolute blast yesterday on their excursion to Lizard Log parklands. Our young explorers spent the day rotating through four action-packed activities: investigating animal habitats, crafting bird houses, hunting for critters during bug catching, and learning how to protect our waterways in Water Works—where they discovered how everyday things like dish soap, paint, and sunscreen affect our environment when sent down the drain. It was a day filled with huge smiles, curious minds, and practical ways to care for our planet. Here are some photos from our fun day out!
