The whole school at the liturgy
Wouldn’t you love to be part of a cool, caring Catholic Schools Week with your dear children? Well OLQP invited parents to do just that!
During Catholic Schools Week (which began Monday 5th March) parents and the community were invited to celebrate Catholic Schools Week with a wonderful, reverent liturgy and chance to view open classrooms to see what their loved ones were learning.
Our liturgy was an amazing start to the day. On Monday the 5th of March all the teachers, students and a great amount of parents attended our liturgy where we all joined in and sang our school song with pride. We also had representatives from each grade talk about something they love about OLQP. We all prayed in reverence to God.
“Our liturgy was amazing and it was very nice that Ana from the parish could come down and bless the community”, said Mr Aggar a teacher from OLQP.
After the liturgy the school organised open classrooms from Kindergarten right through to Year 6. Parents and the community were able to come in to the classrooms and see what it is that the OLQP students are learning. In the Year 6 classroom there was an ‘online passport’ which showed parents some of the tasks that have been done in class earlier in the year. After students finished tasks they copied and pasted a stamp picture into their passports so teachers knew they had completed certain tasks.
For all the parents who worked that day there was also an open classroom after school (from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm) called COOL school, which is an acronym for Celebration Of Our Learning. The students did the same thing as they did at the earlier open classroom.
“It was the best Catholic Schools Week because I was able to join in and see what the students were learning” said a current parent from OLQP.
It was a great success because parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were able to see what their loved ones were learning. This is all because we are a compassionate, caring Catholic school and we know that it is very important for family members to see what students are learning.
If you missed the liturgy and open classrooms you still have a chance to go next year because there is a Catholic Schools Week every year at OLQP.

All the parents and carers were happy to be part of this Catholic celebration and they loved that they could see what the students were learning at OLQP. Why don’t you come and see what it will be next year!

World Teachers' Day celebrations today at Our Lady Queen of Peace! π«ππβοΈβοΈππ A busy and fulfilling day for all as we enjoyed: - a morning gathering for staff - small gifts for each staff member - morning tea organised by the P&F - afternoon assembly and prayer led by Kindy. Perhaps the most surprising and entertaining part of the day though, included staff participation in the 'Have you got an apple?' game. We are sure the children can update you on the game rules as they watched their teachers play. Some tactical, creative and fierce competition was on show to secure the winning prizes! Congratulations to the following staff members who won the game (with or without bribery!) π Miss Stevens π Miss Cleur π Miss Raffoul π Mr Aboufarah π Mrs Elias π Mrs Buhagiar π Miss Chahin π Mr McElhone (unable to claim his prize so this was handed over to the most enthusiastic participant of the day, Mr Vicic). Thank you again to our P&F for generously organising the morning tea for staff and acknowledging the great work our staff do each day. It is a privilege to work in partnership with you, guiding, leading and teaching the children of OLQP. And to our teachers- Keep shining bright βοΈ β¨οΈ π

Yesterday, our students had the wonderful opportunity to experience the Musica Viva Concert, El Camino. The performance introduced students to the vibrant sounds, rhythms and traditions of South American music. They thoroughly enjoyed listening, participating and sharing in this engaging musical experience. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore music from another part of the world, broaden their cultural understanding and celebrate the joy of music together.
