Pam Cooke

guard of honour

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 Cooke

"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

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. 📚💫
