On Monday the 5th March Catholic Schools Week begun and the celebration was beautiful, unique and delightful. It was also fun to hear the wonderful reflections from some of our teachers who also went to OLQP as children.

The day started with a beautiful liturgy that was also very unique. All the students, parents and teachers that came were very humble during the liturgy. One student from each grade (Kindergarten to Year 6) came up and commented on how good the school was and how they felt about OLQP.

Once we got to Year 6, things took a different turn. Two boys acted as interviewers and four girls acting as past students from OLQP who are all now current teachers.

“It was fun when we had to guess which student was the past student at OLQP and now is a present teacher at OLQP,” Mrs Preston explained.

“I was really moved when Miss Gunter was crying, as I mentioned that she was my kindergarten teacher and it was very nice that I got to share my thoughts and feelings about this wonderful school,” Miss Cassar proudly stated.

“All the parents and students enjoyed the open classrooms, as they had a lot of fun together,” Ms Alcantara spoke with joy.

When the parents went into the classrooms they completed fun activities with their child. Everyone had big smiles on their dials!

The students had also shown their parents what they have done over the past six weeks of school.

“It was so nice to participate in fun activities with my child as I got to bond with my child, ” (Sasha’s father) Mr Louis stated.

Each parent and student had a blast! The Catholic Schools week celebration was awesome and everyone had a lot of fun.

On Thursday, Year 5 led the OLQP school community in a moving Resurrection Liturgy centred on hope in the Risen Lord. 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.
