Pet Incursion
Our Prep students had a wonderful time taking part in a special pet incursion! They enjoyed meeting and interacting with the dog, learning about how to care for them and discovering some interesting facts about their needs and behaviours. It was a fun and engaging hands-on experience that brought lots of excitement, curiosity and smiles!
Student Assessment and Reports
As we move towards the end of the school year, our comprehensive assessment schedule across all grade levels is well underway. Teachers are completing end of year assessments in preparation for the Semester Two Student Reports. At times, this requires classroom teachers to be out of their rooms to assess students one on one. The data gathered from these assessments will inform student reporting, guide our teaching and learning plans for 2026, and play a pivotal role in our thorough ‘student handover’ process with all staff later in the term.
Prep 2027 Buddies
Our Preps for 2027 are continuing their transition journey from Kinder to Prep with us here at OLA. Orientation days are full of all sorts of emotions and both the kids and the adults felt all the feels. We are so proud of all involved and thank our staff and Buddies for being so welcoming! We can’t wait to see you all again next week.
Grade 5 buddies give Prep children a friendly, familiar face who helps them feel safe and welcomed at school. They model positive behaviour and confidence, making the transition to a new environment less overwhelming. Through shared activities, buddies build trust and connection, helping our preps settle in socially and emotionally.
Summer Uniform Reminder
As the weather warms up, a friendly reminder that:
- All students must wear their full and correct summer uniform.
- School hats are compulsory during break times – no hat, no play!
- Students are expected to apply their own sunscreen. Staff are unable to assist with sunscreen application.
To help protect your child from the sun:
- Please apply sunscreen at home before school
- Pack a roll-on sunscreen in their school bag if you’d like them to reapply during the day
Thank you for your support in keeping our students sun safe!
Excellence at OLA
We celebrate achievements at OLA every day in the classroom. Outstanding achievement is celebrated at every assembly in the front of the school. Congratulations to all the students who received an award last week.
