On Friday we had about 80 students who wanted to be eligible to go on to Zone next year attend our swimming carnival.
All students swam their best & all students eligible to go to Zone made it in the designated qualifying times. Congratulations to those students! A list of the students selected will be displayed in the office window this week. Permission notes for the carnival will be given out at the start of next year. The zone carnival is on 14th February at Parramatta Pool.
The staff at the pool complimented OLQP on our organisation & exemplary behaviour- well done everybody! A huge thank you to Mrs Khoury, Mrs Bousalim, Mrs Gatti, Mrs Shore, Mrs Calderon, Mrs Mifsud, Mrs Callaghan & Mrs Mandoukos who volunteered to give up the opportunity to just sit & watch in order to make the carnival run so smoothly & successfully. Without your help we wouldn't be able to run our carnivals & the staff & students greatly appreciate your support.

Our Mother's Day celebration at Our Lady Queen of Peace was a tribute to the incredible women who nurture and guide us — our mothers, grandmothers, aunties, carers, and all significant maternal figures. The morning began with classroom visits, where our guests were warmly welcomed into our learning spaces to celebrate the work and achievements of the children. Following this, our school community gathered on Area A for a special Mother’s Day Liturgy. The hymn Gentle Woman was a central part of our celebration, reminding us of Mary, the mother of Jesus, a woman of grace, patience, and deep compassion. Her example is reflected in the lives of the loving women we honour. A reading from Corinthians reminded us of the nature of true love—a love that is patient, kind, and enduring. On this day, we give thanks for all the women who embody this selfless love through their acts of care, sacrifice, and encouragement. A touching moment in the celebration was a slideshow titled You Were There, followed by a heartfelt performance by the children of the song Mum. As the children turned to face our special guests, they raised and swayed their handmade sunflowers in a symbolic gesture of love and appreciation. The celebration was a joyful, heartwarming and emotional celebration — a true sea of sunflowers, gratitude, and love.

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.

This was a reflective and meaningful experience where the year 3 students walked through the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Garden of Gethsemane was a place of great importance to Jesus, referred to in all four Gospels as a place where Christ retreated into deep prayer and a time of agony before His arrest and crucifixion.
