The whole school at the liturgy
Wouldn’t you love to be part of a cool, caring Catholic Schools Week with your dear children? Well OLQP invited parents to do just that!
During Catholic Schools Week (which began Monday 5th March) parents and the community were invited to celebrate Catholic Schools Week with a wonderful, reverent liturgy and chance to view open classrooms to see what their loved ones were learning.
Our liturgy was an amazing start to the day. On Monday the 5th of March all the teachers, students and a great amount of parents attended our liturgy where we all joined in and sang our school song with pride. We also had representatives from each grade talk about something they love about OLQP. We all prayed in reverence to God.
“Our liturgy was amazing and it was very nice that Ana from the parish could come down and bless the community”, said Mr Aggar a teacher from OLQP.
After the liturgy the school organised open classrooms from Kindergarten right through to Year 6. Parents and the community were able to come in to the classrooms and see what it is that the OLQP students are learning. In the Year 6 classroom there was an ‘online passport’ which showed parents some of the tasks that have been done in class earlier in the year. After students finished tasks they copied and pasted a stamp picture into their passports so teachers knew they had completed certain tasks.
For all the parents who worked that day there was also an open classroom after school (from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm) called COOL school, which is an acronym for Celebration Of Our Learning. The students did the same thing as they did at the earlier open classroom.
“It was the best Catholic Schools Week because I was able to join in and see what the students were learning” said a current parent from OLQP.
It was a great success because parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were able to see what their loved ones were learning. This is all because we are a compassionate, caring Catholic school and we know that it is very important for family members to see what students are learning.
If you missed the liturgy and open classrooms you still have a chance to go next year because there is a Catholic Schools Week every year at OLQP.

All the parents and carers were happy to be part of this Catholic celebration and they loved that they could see what the students were learning at OLQP. Why don’t you come and see what it will be next year!

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.

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.

This was a reflective and meaningful experience where the year 3 students walked through the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Garden of Gethsemane was a place of great importance to Jesus, referred to in all four Gospels as a place where Christ retreated into deep prayer and a time of agony before His arrest and crucifixion.

At OLQP year 1 reflected a special liturgy that reminds us how Jesus washing his disciples' feet at the Last Supper symbolizes humility, service, and a model for how followers should treat one another.
