Leadership Process
Feel free to chat to this year's P&F members if you would like some more information or, better still, if you would like to get involved. You can also speak with me in person or email any questions or ideas to principal@olacheltenham.catholic.edu.au
The beginning of Term 4 is an extra exciting time for our Grade 5 students as they begin to think about and prepare for the 2027 Grade 6 Leadership Positions. The Senior teachers have begun talking with our students about the many wonderful opportunities that await them and the transition process. Please see the timeline below and keep an eye on an nForma notice for further information. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any queries. Thank you.

Grade 3/4CD
Today in 3/4CD students were matching the animals to their correct habitat as part of their Inquiry unit on biomes.
Art Show
What a wonderful celebration of creativity at OLA Cheltenham’s Flourish Art Exhibition! It was a joy to see students from Prep to Grade 6 proudly sharing their artwork with their families and celebrating their artistic achievements.
A heartfelt thank you to Mrs Hudson, Miss Siracusa and Señora Caivano for bringing this beautiful exhibition to life, and to our families and staff for their support. We also thank our P&F for providing delicious pies, sausage rolls and drinks. It was a fantastic celebration of our talented students and the wonderful OLA community!
Prep Water Safety
Our Preps had an incredible day learning all about how to stay safe around the water. From learning the rules of the pool to practising swimming skills, our littlest learners are officially water wise and ready for fun in the sun!
Division Athletics
Congratulations to all children who participated at Division Athletics last week. Attached are all results from the day.
We wish Ella Pa (Discus) and Zoe K (Triple jump) all the very best as they progress to Regional Athletics on Wednesday 21 October.
Go OLA!!
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.
