On Monday, 27 April, staff and students, together with Fr Paul and parents, commemorated the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli with a special liturgy. During this service we all stopped to remember those who fought for freedom, rights and peace in our nation.
To mark this special event we unveiled a special plaque in memory of all those who valiantly paid the supreme sacrifice of giving their lives so that we may live in peace. This plaque is set amongst 28 rosemary bushes, each representing one of the classes in our school.
The inscription on the plaque includes a quote from John's Gospel (15:13):
No greater love is there than for a man to lay down his life for his friends.
On the day children each wore the name of an original ANZAC and a cross with the name of each ANZAC was placed on our hill.

OLQP Band Brings Home The Gold! Congratulations to the OLQP Senior Band who received a gold trophy for their performance at the Hills Band Festival on the 13th of June! The students were in a tough competition against six other schools performing at a sold out event held at the St John XXIII Catholic College Performance Hub. Their conductor Mr Slater said “the students gave their strongest performance of the year and deserve full credit after all the hard work they’ve put in!” If you’d like to see the OLQP Senior Band perform their next big public performance will be at the OLQP Festa on the 28th of September which you won’t want to miss. Look forward to seeing you there!

Our Athletics Carnival was a fantastic day filled with energy, sportsmanship, and fun. Students gave their best effort in every event and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to participate, cheer each other on, and spend the day outdoors. A heartfelt thank you to the parents who generously gave their time to assist throughout the day. Your support with running events and helping behind the scenes contributed enormously to the smooth running of the carnival. It truly wouldn’t have been possible without you.

This afternoon, the Year 1 students were lucky enough to work with their Year 5 Buddies. They enjoyed working together to publish their opinion writing and practised reading it together. It was lovely watching our students all work so well together.

🎨 Our kindergarten artists have been diving into the bold, imaginative world of Pablo Picasso! 🖊️ ✨ Inspired by his unique style, our little creators explored shapes, lines, and colour to make their very own Picasso-inspired masterpieces. Using oil pastels and watercolours, each piece is a vibrant reflection of their individuality- no two are alike, and each one is full of heart and creativity! 💙 💛 🧑🎨 🧑🎨
