It was wonderful to see so many happy faces and hugs shared on Friday the 30th of August as the community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel gathered to honour the fathers, grandfathers and father figures with a delicious breakfast and heart-warming mass.
Father’s Day Breakfast was followed by a mass - where we were able to give thanks and reflect on being blessed with our special fathers.
A huge thanks to the P & F committee for once again coordinating the breakfast event. Thank you also to the team of helpers who helped ensure the breakfast was such a success. It was a wonderful way for the pupils to thank their fathers for their constant love, care and support.
Finally, thank you to everyone who attended the event, it was lovely to see so many OLMC families sharing Father's Day.

What an adventurous day we’ve had! This morning, our school came alive with dragons, detectives, pirates, superheroes, and so many favourite storybook characters. From creative homemade outfits to much-loved store-bought costumes, the parade was bursting with colour and imagination. And yes, the staff costume reveal was absolutely worth the wait! The adventure didn’t stop there. At midday, the whole school joined in a giant scavenger hunt! Teams made up of students from across all grades raced around solving riddles and uncovering hidden locations. You might be thinking, “392 students running all over the school? Surely that’s chaos!” Well… yes, but it was the most joyful kind of chaos—filled with teamwork, laughter, and plenty of friendly competition. 🏆 Points Update: Elijah (Red): 2444 Gilroy (Blue): 2660 Mackillop (Green): 1798 McAuley (Gold): 2291 A huge thank you to our parents, carers, and staff who joined the fun and helped make Book Week such a memorable celebration. 📚💫![763565872230263_1280612510525594-1]()

This week, in the lead-up to our annual Book Week parade, our students had the incredible opportunity to take part in illustration workshops with talented artists Nathaniel Eckstrom and David Legge. This coming Monday (August,18th), we are celebrating Book Week with our annual whole-school dress-up. We’re encouraging children to set off on their own adventure by creating their own costumes. While store-bought costumes are welcome, we hope to see imaginative homemade designs wherever possible. Students, don’t forget to bring a copy or picture of your chosen book to earn points for your house colour. In the same spirit of homemade costumes, our staff have been busily creating their own outfits, sewing kits in hand. We can’t wait for you to see the big reveal on Monday! Given the predicted rain we will update parents and carers about if the parade will go ahead, however we have made alternative plans for all of the other events to make sure our students have a ball on Monday!!!! We can’t wait to celebrate! 💛💙
