On Tuesday 5th May, 44 students got up bright and early to attend the Diocesan Cross Country carnival at Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek. It was a long day, but thanks to the beautiful weather and excellent behaviour by all students it was also a lovely day.
All students performed to the best of their ability and did themselves and their parents very proud. 3 students ran so well that they placed in the top 8 in their age group and now get to run all over again on 12th June at the Inter-Diocesan carnival.
Kiara De Angelis placed 6th in the 10 yr girls Isaac Elias also placed 6th in the 11 yr boys and Trisha Castelino placed 2nd in the 11 yr girls. A huge congratulations to those fantastic long distance runners! We wish you all the very best for this next level of competition.
Thank you to Mrs Galea and Mrs Maunder for coming to help out on the day and congratulations once again to all our competitors for the sportsmanship you displayed both on and off the track.

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.
