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.

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.

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.
