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.’

All Saints Day – Saturday, 1st November On Saturday, 1st November, we celebrate All Saints Day — a special feast that honours all the saints, known and unknown, who have lived lives of holiness and love. It reminds us that sainthood is not only for a few extraordinary people, but for all who strive to live faithfully in their everyday lives — the “saints next door” who bring God’s love to others through kindness, compassion, and service. As members of the Communion of Saints, we are united with all those who have gone before us in faith. We also look to Our Lady, the first and greatest of all saints, as our model of faith, peace, and discipleship. May her example inspire us to live with courage and grace as we continue to grow in holiness. “Let us remember: holiness is not a privilege for the few, but a call for everyone.” – Pope Francis

For all the hours you spend planning, supporting, and nurturing, we thank you. May God continue to bless each of you in your vocation of teaching, and may you always feel the joy and reward that comes from shaping young minds and hearts. “Let us remember: one book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.” Malala Yousafzai

Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary Greystanes, recently welcomed a visit from Dr Hugh McDermott, State Member for Prospect. The school was awarded a $60,000 Community Building Partnerships grant, and Dr McDermott presented the school with a ceremonial cheque. During his visit, Dr McDermott spent time with some of our students and, alongside Fr. Paul Roberts, OLQP Parish Priest, delivered an engaging talk about the three levels of government and his own personal connection to the Greystanes community. The grant will make a significant contribution toward the construction of a large shade structure over the school playground. The school looks forward to seeing the new shade structure fully installed upon returning from the October school holidays.
