Pupils at Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary School sang their little hearts out at the Penrith Eisteddfod last week.
The annual Eisteddfod, hosted by the City of Penrith Eisteddfod Society Inc, promotes the participation of cultural activities and the creative arts including dance, creative writing, music, singing, speech and drama.
Both of the school’s infant and junior choirs took out first prize in their respective categories for the second year running.
The school’s choir teachers Vera Grella and Veronica Mahony said the parents and teachers were “both very proud and excited” for the children who won and all their hard work leading up to the event.
“The students showed great commitment and worked very hard to achieve this wonderful result,” the teachers proudly expressed.

Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary Greystanes, recently welcomed a visit from Dr Hugh McDermott, State Member for Prospect. The school was awarded a $60,000 Community Building Partnerships grant, and Dr McDermott presented the school with a ceremonial cheque. During his visit, Dr McDermott spent time with some of our students and, alongside Fr. Paul Roberts, OLQP Parish Priest, delivered an engaging talk about the three levels of government and his own personal connection to the Greystanes community. The grant will make a significant contribution toward the construction of a large shade structure over the school playground. The school looks forward to seeing the new shade structure fully installed upon returning from the October school holidays.

Yesterday Year 2 students visited the church to see the statue of Our Lady Queen of Peace, which is a replica of the original statue in Gozo, Malta. This special visit was part of the parish Festa celebrations. The children learned about the significance of Mary as the Queen of Peace and reflected on how she guides us to live with love, faith, and kindness. It was a meaningful opportunity for students to connect with the traditions of our parish community and deepen their understanding of Maryβs role in our Catholic faith.
