Present Year 6 students pretending to be past students at OLQP who are now teachers at OLQP!
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.
Mother and daughter completing activities with big smiles on their faces
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.

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. ☘️

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
