25.01.2022 Lets begin to start celebrating all the wonderful dads and male carers in the lives of our students. You still have time to return a photo, a prayer or a message to someone you love and it will be added to our front gate for all to admire.

Wishing all our families a beautiful Sunday together.

23.01.2022 OLOL ... ZOOMING into the Holidays! It was an awesome last day of term at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School. K-6 classes participated in a a whole school zoom assembly. Kindergarten celebrated their 100th day at school and led the school community in prayer zooming in from their classroom. The principal Mr ONeill announced the success learning awards and the excitement soared as the students were able to see all classes together on one zoom screen.... A great last day shared together wearing mufti and fundraising for Bear Cottage. Just when we thought that our virtual assembly was over POLLY our school mascot made a zoom appearance to congratulate our learners for their perseverance this term. Happy winter holidays to all from the OLOL students and staff. See more

Together we can build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culture and history. We all need to contribute to to the reconciliation of our Nation. At OLOL we truly believe we are IN THIS TOGETHER.
