25.01.2022 Thank you to the parents who attended last night's school AGM and to all the staff who came along to hear how the last 12 months have played out at OLA. It was wonderful to learn more about the school's 2020 achievements and future direction. Thanks were also given to outgoing P&F President Nat Cunningham and Board Treasurer Nat Adams. Thank you ladies for your four years of service to the school. OLA would not be where it is without parents like you, who give their time so generously.

24.01.2022 2020 was unbelievable, unpredictable and unforgettable - but OLA was unstoppable! Thank you to the staff for getting the kids through this challenging year and congratulations to our beautiful Year 6 students, who now take another step forward. If this year has taught them anything, it's to be bold, to be courageous and to do their best. We wish them every success in the future! #theolaway

22.01.2022 We have had an ‘uninvited guest’ here at OLA over the weekend, which has created a real buzz around the school! The guest has left a tent set up near the oval with all of their belongings in it. The kids went crazy this morning trying to work out who left it, what they left and why! Year groups will be using this to generate ideas for narrative writing over the next couple of days!

20.01.2022 OLA Ministry Groups: Did you know that each year, the Year 6 students are divided into four Ministry Groups? These are - Sustainability, Christian Leadership, Sports and Events. These Ministries provide each Year 6 student with the opportunity to develop their individual leadership skills within an encouraging and meaningful collaboration. The Ministries seek to provide activities for the school that show faith in action and activate the OLA RICE values. SUSTAINABILITY MINISTRY IN FOCUS | The students in the Sustainability Ministry look after the OLA Market Garden, organise Waste-Free Wednesday at recess and lunch, use the worm farm and are about to participate in a project called Mobile Muster, which is a competition to create a video on the recycling of mobile phones. Keep an eye on these environmental warriors!

20.01.2022 Congratulations OLA Readers!!! We have 30 students participating in the MS Readathon so far and they are off to a fantastic start, with 154 books already read and $1071 raised! This means, we have already beaten last year's efforts and we haven't even officially started yet, with the Readathon starting on the 1st of August! Thank you for getting involved and supporting this worthy cause. If your child wants to get involved there's still time to register, simply visit the school website for more information: https://www.ola.wa.edu.au/category/classes/library/

18.01.2022 We hope you are enjoying the last week of the school holidays! To help reduce the stress of the first day back at school, parents are invited to bring their children to the school, with their stationery, on Thursday 28 January, from 1.30-3.00pm or Friday 29 January, from 8.30-10.30am, so they can place their items in their desks and say hello to their new teachers. Please check the 2021 calendar for more information.

18.01.2022 Only one week to go until the School Disco! Don't forget to get your ticket money in by Wednesday.

18.01.2022 OLD UNIFORM DRIVE | If you have old uniforms that you would like to donate to Uniform Rescue, you can now drop them off to the school office, during this last week of Term 3 and week 1 of Term 4. Uniform Rescue is a wonderful initiative that sends used uniforms to schools in third world countries and we are very proud to be part of it.

17.01.2022 By now you are probably aware that our Premier Mark McGowan has closed all schools in the Perth metro area for the week ahead. All children are to remain at home until at least this Friday. The OLA OSHC will be closed as well during the week. We will be sending out regular updates as more information becomes available. Stay well everyone!

See you there!

17.01.2022 Today is World Children's Day, marking the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959, and the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 2020 has seen our children grapple with the reality of a global pandemic and the resulting impacts on their lives. On this World Children's Day we acknowledge just how brave our kids have had to be this year and celebrate their resilience!

If you can help on the night, please put your name on the volunteer list outside the school office.

14.01.2022 We are so lucky here in WA to be able to gather in larger groups again, so we are very excited that school assemblies are back! Assemblies will be weekly, still on Wednesday afternoons, for the foreseeable future and parents are welcome back too. Check the school calendar to find out when your child's class will be performing their item!

14.01.2022 This week, OLA has been busy celebrating National Science Week, with our Science Specialist, Mrs Meyerkort, focusing her lessons on the National Science Week theme - Deep Blue: Innovation for the future of our oceans. Each year group enjoyed a lesson based on the Deep Blue, from making waves, creating art, celebrating the magic of the ocean through dance, solving the problem of plastic straws and other plastics contaminating the oceans and creating videos about harnessing wave energy as a renewable energy. If National Science Week is anything to go by, our future is in very capable hands! Well done kids and thank you Mrs Meyerkort for your innovative lessons.

11.01.2022 Well done runners! Congratulations to the kids who placed and to all the kids who participated in today's event. It was wonderful to see so many students running their hearts out for House Points, and even more wonderful to see the team spirit amongst all the students, who cheered on their classmates until everyone made it over the finish line.

11.01.2022 Throughout Term 3, the kids will be learning about the RICE value Compassion. Compassion is a cornerstone of humanity and a value that teaches children to really think about other people and what they may be going through. By showing compassion, we can support people who need help, to lead fulfilling and joyful lives.

10.01.2022 We love seeing our teachers helping out in the community! Here's Mr Allsop mentoring the next generation of footy players at his old club - well done Ciaran

10.01.2022 On beautiful sunny days like today, there's nowhere our Pre-K and Kindy kids would rather be than outside. Lately they have been spending lots of time looking after their garden beds and they're obviously doing a great job - don't they look healthy!

10.01.2022 Water fun day was by all accounts, the best day of the year! Thank you to all the staff who made it happen!

Meanwhile, yesterday, our Year 3s were visited by Jason Trevenen from KaBOOM Toons. Jason is a freelance artist who has worked for Walt Disney Corp on animated films including Lady and the Tramp, Brother Bear and Jungle Book! He spent time with each class teaching them the special skills involved in cartoon drawing.

09.01.2022 Happy Father's Day to all the dads and father figures who play such an important role in our children's lives. We hope you all have a special day. Thank you Year 6 for showing us your very cool Father's Day magnets - we know they'll be their favourite gift!!

07.01.2022 It was a busy morning today at OLA, filming interviews with the kids about their experiences here at OLA. Every child was offered the chance to participate in the filming and it was amazing to see that almost all the children (especially in the senior years) wanted to take part. A small selection of the interviews will form part of our next school video, while the others will appear over the coming months on social media and internally - we know you'll love them! Thank you to Mr Morris for his expert interview skills - he did a fantastic job and well done to all the kids!

07.01.2022 Last night, OLA relaunched the OLA Fathering Project. Thank you to the staff who attended and coordinated the event and for the fathers who came along.

The Fathering Project aims to inspire and equip fathers and father figures to positively engage with the children in their lives - for the benefit of our kids. It is proudly funded at OLA by the P&F.

03.01.2022 Let's play a game of i-spy! I spy with my little eye........an OLA Transperth Bus! That's right, see if you can spot one of the three Transperth buses carrying the OLA 2021 enrolment advertisement throughout the month of September. The buses will leave from the Malaga depot each day and proudly display our school's advertisement along their journeys. Here's a sneak peak of how they look - don't our Pre-Primary stars look great. If you see our ad, tag this page to let us know. Happy spotting!

02.01.2022 We are pleased to announce that Bubs Play at OLA will recommence this Friday the 24th of July from 9.00am to 10.30am, in Kindy M. Please note that due to Covid restrictions, morning tea will not be shared, therefore all children will need their own morning tea and water. Bubs Play is for 0-4 year old children, it's great fun and a perfect way to get little ones ready for the school environment. Please contact the school should you or someone you know be interested in attending.

01.01.2022 On Monday, our Head Girl and Head Boy, Amber and Andre, did a fantastic job representing OLA at the Cathedral for the National Mass for Catholic Education. The Mass was a celebration of 200 years of Catholic Education in Australia - an incredible milestone that we can all be proud of.
