On Friday the 30th of August 88 OLOL students represented our school at the Wakakirri Story Dance competition at Parramatta Riverside Theatre with our performance of, “Where the Wild Things Are”.
The students performed amazingly well and got the crowd cheering. They made all the parents, friends and teachers present very proud of their hard work.
We were lucky enough to win special Show awards for: Best Individual Costume Design and Best Backstage Crew.
We also were awarded the following Performance and Production awards:
- Excellent Performance Teamwork
- Excellent Group Acting
- Excellent Individual Set Piece Design
- Excellent Artwork on Sets, and
- Excellent Soundtrack Mix.
Our judges notes were the following:
This cast takes us on a fantastic visual journey retelling a famous 56 year old children’s story book! Excellent use of your props and sets with seamless changes throughout your performance. Fantastic costumes. Really strong, clear expressive storytelling and use of your 88 strong cast! Congratulations!
The students should be extremely proud of their efforts for the past 8 months and seeing it all come together was amazing.
Thank you to all the parents and teachers that helped with props, costumes and coming to painting afternoons. We all helped bring the story to life.

Week 5 in Year 6. Remembrance Day, 11/11: we gathered as a community of faith to remember and honour all those who have served and sacrificed for peace - in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. We remember the men and women who gave their lives so that we may live in freedom, and we prayed for those who continue to serve today. After our reflection, we made artworks.

In Week 4, the Year 4 students attended Longneck Lagoon Environmental Education Centre at Maralya to support our Integrated Unit 'Earth and Space'. Although it was a hot day, there was lots of valuable learning and fun to be had. Hands-on activities included: the lowdown on soil, investigating erosion, and soil and stone investigations. Everyone enjoyed the scenic walk along the bush track to Longneck Lagoon, and were excited to see a rabbit, kangaroo, bugs, and birdlife along the way.
