OLQP has had an incredible time celebrating Catholic Schools Week as a united community. During the week of the 4-9 March 2018, the school celebrated and showcased what our school has to offer with a liturgy, a visit from Mr Rix, CEDP Head of Communication, open classrooms and special Canadian visitors.
Celebrations began with the whole school gathered in one place to enjoy a religious ceremony as one massive class.
Everyone from around the school was involved with the liturgy, which was led by Year 6 students with the assistance of Year 6 teacher, teacher, Mr Aggar.
The OLQP community had a great time with each other whilst celebrating their religious culture. Children in the crowd had an amazing time singing songs and responding to prayers.
Year 6 student Sophia Brown said, “The liturgy was really entertaining because we got to learn about the teachers that came to OLQP many years before us.”
All carers in the school community could come into their children’s classroom to see what they have learnt so far. Students were so excited to see that their family members were at their school and interested in their learning. Carers has the chance to visit between 9:30-10:30 am or 3:00-6:00 pm and those who did had an exquisite experience.
The Year 6 students had a wonderful time discussing multimodal texts with Mr Rix, the Head of the Communication Office CEDP. They collaborated and came up with many magnificent ways to promote the school. There were many great students’ contributions that Mr Rix was impressed with (particularly the intelligence of OLQP students). The Year 6 kids were fascinated with Mr Rix’s stories and answers to the many questions. We hope that Mr Rix will visit again soon.
Have you ever wanted to meet people from another country? Obviously everyone does! OLQP were lucky to have a Canadian Teacher Educator visit and look at the learning taking place in our classrooms. Our teachers were anxious about having other educators from the CEDP with very high rankings in their classrooms but were relieved when they were told their class was astounding. The students also had a good time discussing ideas with the intelligent visitors from CEDP.
Unfortunately Catholic Schools Week had to come at an end. Everyone that contributed in the Catholic Schools Week activities at OLQP had an amazing experience including the teachers.
“I thought Catholic Schools Week was fantastic especially when we used Google classroom as a component in our work,” Year 6 teacher Mr van der Walle said.
Everybody is really excited what Catholic Schools Week next year can offer.

Music Around the World This term in Music, all students from Kindergarten to Year 6 have participated in learning about music from around the world. Early in the term we enjoyed a very lively performance by Musica Viva which introduced the students to cultural music and helped to develop an enjoyment of music from various countries. Throughout the term I have shared my personal travel experiences to Vietnam, as well as teaching all students about my own cultural heritage- Lithuania. I have been so privileged to have had the opportunity to teach the dance "Sejau Ruta" which translates to "Planting Rue". The students have learnt to dance to a steady beat, perform various movements and work well in whole and small groups to perform the dance. I hope you enjoy watching the short movie displaying various classes performing the dances throughout the term. Jenny Kuchta Music Teacher

Our Athletics Carnival was a fantastic day filled with energy, sportsmanship, and fun. Students gave their best effort in every event and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to participate, cheer each other on, and spend the day outdoors. A heartfelt thank you to the parents who generously gave their time to assist throughout the day. Your support with running events and helping behind the scenes contributed enormously to the smooth running of the carnival. It truly wouldn’t have been possible without you.
