At the end of 2014, Patrick Langan from Our Lady Queen of Peace, Greystanes graduated Year 6 a happy, confident and engaged learner a feat his mother Margaret attributes to the dedication of his teachers over the years.
Margaret said that Patrick experienced learning difficulties in his younger years, but the hard work and persistence of teachers Rebecca Lloyd, Kym Romanous, Candice Cozzarini, Cheryl Gunter, and Lloyd Knight enabled him to overcome these challenges.
'I would like to thank all the teachers from Our Lady Queen of Peace for their work in supporting and dedication to Patrick's education over the years,’ said Margaret. ‘I know that education starts at the home however without the help from all of the teachers, Patrick would not have achieved the success that he has through out his years in primary school.’
Principal Michael Hopley said it is wonderful to receive positive feedback from parents.
‘Patrick’s journey of learning was a difficult one as he had some specific learning needs,’ said Michael. ‘He will now be attending St. Paul’s College and he leaves us a confident learner with a bright future ahead.’

As part of our Winter Embrace initiative in support of the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal 2026, OLQP hosted a Vinnies School Sleepout. The Winter Sleepout gave the students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of homelessness and disadvantage by taking part in an overnight experience that raises awareness, empathy and solidarity with those doing it tough during the cold winter months. This was an overnight event which was held last Friday 19th June on OLQP school premises. During the evening, the students participated in a liturgy and a variety of meaningful activities that allowed them to deepen their understanding of the hardships faced by people experiencing homelessness in Australia during winter. Students also had the opportunity to work alongside students from St Paul's Catholic High School.

We currently have a large amount of lost property, including jumpers, lunchboxes, drink bottles and other items that have not been labelled. A bucket containing these items has been placed at the front gate, outside the office. We would appreciate it if parents could please take a moment to look through the items and collect anything that may belong to their child. We kindly ask that all clothing, lunchboxes and drink bottles are clearly labelled to help ensure lost items can be returned to their owners. Please note that any unclaimed items will unfortunately need to be disposed of. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Our Little Disciples lunchtime group enjoyed making decade Rosary beads while learning about the special role of Mary in our faith. Teaching children to pray the Rosary helps them grow closer to Jesus through Mary’s loving guidance and encourages a lifelong connection to prayer. We are proud of our students for embracing this beautiful Catholic tradition and deepening their faith.

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth. We all can have God in our lives if we open our hearts to the possibility, and families are an especially potent way to bring, keep, and reinforce God in our hearts. God may not be as literally present as the visitation between Mary and Elizabeth, but the essence of that reunion can still spark within us a joy and inspiration from our own families that matches Mary’s and Elizabeth’s Godly proclamations.
