Cheque for $40 000
In 2014 the Parents and Friends Committee of OLQP submitted an application to the State Government, through the "Community Building Partnership Program", for funds to improve our school environment.
We were successful in attaining a generous grant that will be used to establish a multi-purpose court. This area will be used by the Pre-School students, St. Paul's College students, local netball and basketball teams and a local Fitness Company (RAW 24) that caters for children and adults.
It is a much needed playground area for our Primary School students who will be using constantly for their sports programs. We would like to thank Mr Tony Issa MP who supported our application. Last Monday (9th Feb) he presented a cheque to our school for $40,000. We would also like to thank the State Government for their grant initiatives and our P&F, who submitted the application.
Michael Hopley, Principal, thanks Tony Issa

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
