Welcome to Our Lady’s Assumption School
As the principal of Our Lady’s Assumption School (OLA), I warmly welcome you to our wonderful school. I have been at OLA since 2018 and witnessed a change in culture, teaching pedagogy as well as an increase in student achievements, ensuring we’re catering for the needs of all students, to the best of our ability. ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ and this is the approach we have taken at OLA, a whole school approach to the way we learn, communicate and educate our students.

Did you know a hippo’s 🦛 sweat acts as a natural sunscreen to block the sun’s 🔆 harmful rays? Or that the banded archerfish 🐟 will shoot down its prey (insects) by spitting water at it?
Yesterday it was the Yr 2’s turn to explore Scitech and WOW did they learn a lot!
The students gained new knowledge of how nature has influenced our world, became forensic scientists 🔎🧪 where they had to decipher clues to discover ‘Who stole the missing lunch?’ and explored what it’s like to be an astronaut 👨🚀🚀
What an absolute blast 💥 of a day!
Check out our future shoe designers in the making!
The Yr 5’s have been busy getting in touch with their artistic side designing their own shoe 👟 as part of their Design + Technologies unit.
Students were required to plan and create a shoe that they would wear, using sharpies, paints, glitter, jewels and more. Watch out Nike ✔ 😜
Last week the Pre Primary students enjoyed a fun day of discovery at Scitech
They learnt all about our solar system 🪐 and the seasons inside the massive interactive planetarium, enjoyed an entertaining puppet show about dinosaurs through light and shadows, and got stuck into all things STEM 🔎 ⚛
#MKR at OLA Part 1
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a Manu, Colin or Nigella then give us your critique on our very own My Kitchen Rules (MKR) “contestants” 😜
This term the Year 6 students have been busy applying themselves creatively across a range of different learning areas including Writing, Speaking and Listening, Design and Technology and Health.
As part of their MKR project, students had to write a procedure for a recipe of their choice that will be published in the Year 6 MKR Cookbook. They then had to create a video of themselves following this procedure, whilst demonstrating appropriate safety, food handling and hygiene in the kitchen 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏻🍳
The highlight was serving up 🍽 their delicious creations for their classmates to taste test! There was a range of savoury and sweets from all different cultures 🍰🌮🧇🍪🫔
A big thank you 💕 to the parents for their support with this task and for allowing their kids to get in the kitchen, gain some independence and learn something new (even if they made a huge mess!) 🫣
The MKR task is always a hit with the Yr 6’s and it's not hard to see why! 🙏 to Miss Versace and Mr McIntyre for coordinating this project with the students.

Great job kiddos ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful Year 6’s 🩷🩵 Everyone’s creations look delicious 🥰 Definitely a Highlight of Year 6 xx
Very proud of our Grandson, another MKR chef in the making
Looks like they're all great cooks!
Yummy year 6’s
Yesterday Paul Litherland from Surf Online Safe visited the Year 4-6 students to chat to them about online safety👩🏻💻 🧑🏽💻
He shared his experiences and provided the students with a range of statistics to help them understand the risks and develop their awareness of the online world 🌐
Thanks for all the great insights Paul 😀
Thank you 🙏 to all the families who donated food and other items for the homeless in Perth. 22 bags and boxes were loaded up by the Year 3’s, which are now on their way to help people in need 🫶
The rep from Vinnies WA said our donations have made a lot of people smile today 🥰

A couple of Fridays ago, 17 very excited Pre Kindy students went on a secret mission to the post office to mail 📮 a surprise Father’s Day letter 💌 to their Dad or Father figure.
We hope you all received your special letters on time 💖

So cute 🥰 and very brave taking 17 kids to the post office 😉💜
Yesterday the Yr 5’s spent a fun-filled day visiting the Shipwreck Museum ⚓ in Fremantle to discover more about the British settlement in WA.
Students took part in a role play activity, walked around Bathers Beach and the Round House Tunnel to learn about Walyalup (Fremantle) from a Nyoongar and British perspective.
The students then indulged in some fish ‘n’ chips 🐟 🍟 from the iconic Cicerello's. Lucky ducks!!
This week the Yr 6 students exercised their political minds with a visit to Parliament House and the Electoral Education Centre. They learnt about the history of our government and voting in Australia.
They also participated in a mock election at the ‘polling place’ 🗳where they had to cast a vote… on their favourite chocolate 🍫 😂
Then it was off to Kings Park to enjoy the sunshine for lunch 💚
On Monday, 10 of our Year 5 and 6 students spent the day (and some of the night) at school to Write a Book in a Day 📖☀️🌑
After receiving their “rules” at 8am, the team OLA Writing Warriors got to work! With lots of creative chatter and brainstorming about a plot, characters, settings and resolutions, the group planned, wrote, illustrated and published ‘Runaway Ruby’ all within 12 hours!
Well done to the students for powering through what was a marathon day 👊👊👊
Huge thank you 🙏 to Mrs Tollis who coordinated and guided the group from 8am-8pm.
The Write a Book in a Day competition supports and raises awareness for The Kids' Cancer Project.

It’s not too late to donate to our Vinnies WA winter appeal for the homeless.
We’re collecting non-perishable breakfast foods, beanies and blankets and Mrs Barclay has challenged every class to get creative and build something fun out of their donations!!
Special thanks 💕 to Mrs Barclay for her ongoing coordination and dedication to support this worthy cause every year.
Collections close this week. Thank you for your support 🙏

Thank you Mrs Dale and Ms Knight for a wonderful night 📚✨🥰
If you’ve read All Monkeys Love Bananas 🍌🐒, Happy as a Hog Out of Mud 🐗 or Frank’s Red Hat 🐧 to name a few, then you would be familiar with writer-illustrator Sean E Avery .
We kicked off #BookWeek2023 yesterday with a visit from Sean, which included a fun drawing masterclass. The students learnt how to draw some of the characters from his books, while adding their own creative flair.
Sean shared some tips and tricks including how a character’s expression can change the feeling of a story and the reader’s interpretation.
Thanks for visiting us Sean 😀
