L-R: teachers Rebecca Lloyd, Candice Cozzarini, Cheryl Gunter and Vincent Knight. Front: Kym Romanous and student Patrick Langan.
At the end of 2014, Patrick Langan from Our Lady Queen of Peace, Greystanes graduated Year 6 a happy, confident and engaged learner a feat his mother Margaret attributes to the dedication of his teachers over the years.
Margaret said that Patrick experienced learning difficulties in his younger years, but the hard work and persistence of teachers Rebecca Lloyd, Kym Romanous, Candice Cozzarini, Cheryl Gunter, and Lloyd Knight enabled him to overcome these challenges.
'I would like to thank all the teachers from Our Lady Queen of Peace for their work in supporting and dedication to Patrick's education over the years,’ said Margaret. ‘I know that education starts at the home however without the help from all of the teachers, Patrick would not have achieved the success that he has through out his years in primary school.’
Principal Michael Hopley said it is wonderful to receive positive feedback from parents.
‘Patrick’s journey of learning was a difficult one as he had some specific learning needs,’ said Michael. ‘He will now be attending St. Paul’s College and he leaves us a confident learner with a bright future ahead.’

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.![868233255322817_1173183374827802-1]()

Today we celebrate the Feast Day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop St Mary MacKillop is Australia’s first saint and a wonderful example of courage, kindness, and deep faith. She dedicated her life to educating children, especially those in rural and disadvantaged communities, and reminded us to “never see a need without doing something about it.” On this special day, we remember her commitment to compassion, service, and perseverance, and we pray that we too may follow her example in caring for others and living with hope and generosity. St Mary of the Cross MacKillop – Pray for us.

Our Year 2 students had an exciting day out at Lizard Log in Western Sydney Parklands on Thursday last week ! A little bit of rain didn’t stop us, it just added to the adventure. Surrounded by beautiful bushland, students explored nature, took part in fun hands-on activities, and learned about the world around them. From discovering plants and animals to asking big geography questions, everyone had a fantastic time while developing important skills. A big thank you to our wonderful teachers and parent helpers who came along and made the day so special, we couldn’t have done it without you!

This excursion supported student understanding about the ways people, places and environments interact, as part of our Geography unit. This unique location gave students the opportunity to experience coastal bushland firsthand, participate in hands-on activities, and develop their geographical inquiry skills. A big 'thank you' to the wonderful teachers and parents who endured the weather so that this excursion could go ahead.
