Lara dances her heart away
This has been a big year for Lara Griffiths from 5B. The 10 year old dancer will travel to Spain this month to represent Australia in the 2018 Dance World Cup.  The Dance World Cup will host over 12,000 competitors from 47 countries, and this tiny dancer will be dancing alongside the world’s best.  Qualification for this event is a huge achievement for such a young dancer.  Lara is super excited by this opportunity and is looking forward to performing on the world stage and eating churros with some new friends.
Lara in Action
Lara recently competed in the Hollywood Bound Dance Championships held at sea on Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas. Lara took out the Junior age category and was awarded the prestigious title of "Junior Dancer of the Seas".  Lara was also awarded an overall third placing across all age categories, which included competitors aged up to 18 years of age. 
Rep Jacket for Lara
Dancing is often not thought of as a sport, but the physicality and training it requires is as demanding as any other sport, including soccer. Lara has been working hard to prepare for this event with her teacher Lisa Holt at PAC Station Dance Studio in Seven Hills.

    On Thursday, Year 5 led the OLQP school community in a moving Resurrection Liturgy centred on hope in the Risen Lord. Students joyfully proclaimed the message of new life and renewal through a powerful Scripture role play, prayers, and a hymn of praise and thanksgiving. The Resurrection liturgy linked beautifully to the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope, reminding us that in Christ’s Resurrection, we find strength, joy, and the promise of a brighter future.

    OLQP Liturgy in Honour of Pope Francis Yesterday, the students and staff of Our Lady Queen of Peace School gathered in a reverent liturgy to honour and remember Pope Francis, following his passing on Easter Monday. With hearts full of gratitude, we gave thanks for his life of humble service, deep compassion, and steadfast commitment to the Gospel. Our community took time to reflect on his extraordinary legacy—a legacy based in mercy, justice, peace, and care for the poor. During the liturgy, we listened to the Beatitudes, a scripture passage Pope Francis often described as a guiding light for Christian living. Through prayer and song, we celebrated his unwavering dedication to building a more inclusive and loving Church and his role as a beacon of hope in an often troubled world. Rest in peace, Pope Francis. You have served the Lord with faith and love. Your example will continue to inspire generations to come.
