It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Our Lady of Dolours website. Thank you for taking the time to explore our wonderful story and I hope that it offers you a window to our welcoming community and the many educational opportunities we can provide for your child.
...and don't we know it! We love our mums and on 10 May we shopped at the OLD Mother's Day stall for a surprise gift to give our mums on Mother's Day. We say a big thank you to our mums for all they do for us. We also say thank you to all those who helped to make our Mother's Day shopping possible.
On 9 May it was School Officers' Day and we said thank you to our wonderful school officers for the excellent contribution they make to our learning and teaching at OLD. We acknowledge their work and their love of what they do. Special thanks to you all!
Here are some of the students who represented OLD at the District Cross Country at Teralba Pak on 8 May. We are immensely proud of all our runners and their efforts. To run a long distance, off the beaten track, is a great feat. Well done team!
On 3 May Year 4 had a fabulous day at Alma Park Zoo. We set off to meet the Sun Bears followed by the reptiles and koalas. We managed a few happy snaps with our native friends before heading off to watch the cheeky marmosets, spider monkeys and baboons in action. They certainly were entertaining! We were able to feed and pat the animals in the Friendship Farm, however, some of the llamas weren’t so friendly and spat at a few of our classmates. it was quite funny!!
On 2 May 2012 Year 5 enjoyed an excursion to Fort Lytton as part of their study of Australian history. Fort Lytton is an important historic site that was used for the defence of Brisbane until the end of WWII. The students engaged in a program which used this heritage site to explore the history of Queensland. This experience helped empower them to become defenders of the past.
We extend our thanks to the families who supported the OLD contingent at the ANZAC Day march and service on 25 April 2012, at Sid Loder Park. It was great to see the colours of our OLD school uniform stand out in the crowd as we proudly marched in the spirit of the ANZAC. Thanks also to the families who coordinated
After a tremendous effort during Term 1, on 23 April 2012 we officially presented Caritas with a cheque for $2704 as our school contribution to Project Compassion for 2012.This is an extraordinary effort for a school of our size. Each class contributed to the fund raising. Along the way we had some fun counting jelly beans and matching baby photos to our teachers, Year 5, 6 and 7 experienced first hand what it was like to walk a long way, collect water in containers and carry it home. Thanks to the OLD Community for your support.
We had a very active start to Term 2 as we resumed Active Travel this week. The action began at Sid Loader Park with Kilometre Club, followed by the Active Travel Breakfast where Roadstar was the guest celebrity. We had a d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s breakfast for which we thank the mums and dads who put it together and Mrs Allen for organising.
