3KR/3DR Excursion to the Australian Museum
On Monday 3KR and 3DR went on their excursion to the Australian Museum. The bus left at 8:15 am we were all so excited. When we got there we had recess at Hyde Park. Finally it was time to head to the Australian Museum. First we put our bags in a trolley then a staff member called Rene told us the rules.
We split up into our groups, and walked to the first gallery, which was an animal gallery called Wild Planet. We saw lots of different animals like giraffes and insects. Next we saw the mineral gallery. It was all about different stones that came out of the Earth. We saw lots of other galleries filled with dinosaurs and Aboriginal culture.
Before lunch we went to a kids section where we met Rene again. She told us more about Aboriginals. Then we got to paint our own boomerangs (while the parents had coffee).
While we waited for the boomerangs to dry we ate lunch inside because it was raining. When the bus arrived we had to rush in so we didn’t get wet. It was a long drive home but we got to school on time.
We had a great time!!

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

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.
