Pupils at Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary School sang their little hearts out at the Penrith Eisteddfod last week.
The annual Eisteddfod, hosted by the City of Penrith Eisteddfod Society Inc, promotes the participation of cultural activities and the creative arts including dance, creative writing, music, singing, speech and drama.
Both of the school’s infant and junior choirs took out first prize in their respective categories for the second year running.
The school’s choir teachers Vera Grella and Veronica Mahony said the parents and teachers were “both very proud and excited” for the children who won and all their hard work leading up to the event.
“The students showed great commitment and worked very hard to achieve this wonderful result,” the teachers proudly expressed.

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Patrick. As a missionary and bishop, Saint Patrick dedicated his life to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the people of Ireland. His courage, faith, and trust in God remind us that even one person, guided by the Holy Spirit, can help bring light and hope to many. May we be inspired by Saint Patrick’s example to live our faith with joy, kindness, and courage in our own community. “Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me.” Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all in our school community. ☘️

Our program blends digital creativity with practical activities, ensuring a balanced mix of screen-based and non-screen learning. Children are encouraged to bring their own device (laptop/chromebooks or iPad) if available; however, shared devices will be provided during screen-based sessions. ✨ Special Early Bird Offer ✨ As a thank-you to our past participants, we’re offering 20% off (almost $40 off) the full price for early registration Discount Code: EBAP Offer expires: 20 March 📍 Locations and Dates (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM) OLQP Greystanes Ages 8+: 9 April Ages 5–7: 10 April The Ponds Ages 8+: 13 April Ages 5–7: 14 April

We would like to sincerely thank our wonderful FIAT team for their generosity in creating and donating the beautiful Easter baskets that will be raffled off next week. During Lent, we are reminded to reflect on the needs of others, especially those who are less fortunate. Easter is a time of hope, renewal, and generosity, and these baskets are a lovely reminder of the spirit of giving that this season calls us to embrace. Your kindness and willingness to contribute reflect the true meaning of Lent—thinking of others, sharing what we have, and spreading joy within our community. #faithinactioncspd
