It is with deep sadness that we sent this message and prayer to our school community to inform them that Mrs Pam Cooke passed away last night.
Pam was an integral part of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Wentworthville school community for 28 years from 1987 – 2015. She is now at peace.
The OLMC Community joined together with Pam’s family to say goodbye to Pam on Thursday. At the end of the service Year 5 and 6 students, staff both present and past joined with members of Pam’s family and friends to create a guard of honour.
A very reverent and special way for us to say goodbye to a very special person who gave so much of her time for us.
"Pam, a past member of our school community and friend to many of us, has passed after, and we come to You today to give thanks for the gift of her life, and for all of the ways in which she touched our lives and the lives of many children at OLMC.
Comfort her family and be very close to them in their sadness and loss. Help us to help and support each other, especially those within our school who feel most deeply the loss of Pam.
Be with her family and friends in a very special way. Help us to always care for each other in our school, and say thank you to You everyday for all of the people who love us and help us.
We place Pam into Your loving hands Jesus, and ask You to receive her into Your heavenly Kingdom, where she will be happy forever and ever. Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace."
Amen

π Celebrating Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast Day & Grandparents Day π What a wonderful day of faith, family and community! Last Friday, we gathered to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel while honouring our grandparents and the special people who nurture, guide and love us each day. Our students led a beautiful Mass with reverence and joy before families came together to share a picnic across our school grounds. It was heartwarming to see generations celebrating together, reminding us that our school is truly a community where everyone belongs. A heartfelt thank you to our parish, staff, students, families and grandparents for making the day such a memorable celebration. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us. π Saints Anne and Joachim, pray for us. π

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

This week Year 3 had two special visitors β Rufus and Ola, two playful desert dingo pups. The children have been reading the book Wandi and this visit brought their learning to life. Students loved meeting Rufus and Ola and learning more about dingo conservation and care. The pups were full of energy and quickly won everyone over with their friendly nature, playful personalities, and plenty of enthusiastic licks! The children enjoyed interacting with the dingoes up close and were fascinated to see firsthand the unique features and behaviours they had been learning about in class. This memorable experience provided a wonderful opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of Australia's native animals while creating some very special memories with our dingo cubs along the way.
