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.

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.
