Our Lady Queen of Peace, Greystanes were presented with a cheque for $40,000 from Tony Issa MP Member for Granville, recently to fund a multi-purpose sports court area for students.
The grant was awarded through the Community Building Partnership Program funded by the NSW Government after a successful application submitted by the Parents and Friends Committee last year.
Principal Michael Hopley said the funding will go a long way in improving the school environment and providing a much-needed play area. ‘The courts will not only benefit our students – they’ll also be available to students of St Pauls College, local sport teams and fitness company RAW 24 which caters for children and adults,’ said Michael. ‘Our heartfelt thanks to Mr Tony Issa MP and the Parents and Friends Committee for their generous support.’
‘We are now looking to re-surface other play areas to increase safety for students and offer lots of options for learning and play at Our Lady Queen of Peace,’ said Michael.
Work will begin on the new courts during the Easter break.

The season of Lent invites us to pause and reflect on the values that deepen our compassion and strengthen our shared responsibility for one another. It is a time for reflection that creates space for growth, humility that grounds us in our common humanity, self-discipline that draws us back to what truly matters, and generosity expressed through acts of compassion and kindness.

What a great first week of BIG school for our Kindergarten students! 🌟📚 They have settled in so well and are already learning new routines and getting comfortable in their new classrooms. This week, they also took part in their very first sport lesson and they were so excited! 🏃♀️🏃♂️⚽ It was lovely to see so many smiling faces and enthusiastic participation. It has also been wonderful to see new friendships starting to form as students get to know one another. 😊🤝 We are so proud of how well they have started the year and can’t wait for what’s to come! ⭐✨

Young Archie, 2026 – Sharing Our Gifts Through Art 🎨 In our art lessons, students learn that creativity is a gift from God and that art can be a beautiful way to tell stories, express gratitude, and honour the people who shape our lives. We would love to invite our students to consider entering the 2026 Young Archie Competition, where children create a portrait of someone special to them. The Young Archie encourages students to look closely at others with care and respect — reflecting on relationships, love, and the people who help us grow. This aligns beautifully with our Catholic values of community, compassion, and seeing the dignity in every person. Who can enter? 👧🧒 Australian residents aged 5–18 years Artwork requirements: 🖼️ A 2D portrait 📄 Size A4 to A3 ✏️ On paper only; less than 1cm thickness (unframed and unmounted) 🗓️ Entries close at 5:00 pm on Monday, 2 March 2026. Finalists are selected from each age group. The 2025 winning artworks are showcased here, eleven year old Isobel's portrait of her great-grandmother, as well as six year old Logan's portrait of his dad. ✨ We encourage students to be brave, to trust their creativity, and to share their unique voice through art. With your support at home, this can be a meaningful and joyful experience for your child. 👉 For more information and submissions: https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/art/prizes/young-archie/enter/
