Our Lady's College, Annerley

On Friday we welcomed our newest OLC student… and she’s already turning heads! 💚💛

A huge thank you to former OLC parent Simmon, father of Sorcha (Class of 2025), who surprised us with this incredible gift - a maxi-scale, self-made, 3D-printed LEGO® student! 😍👏

Crafted with amazing detail and plenty of OLC spirit, our newest addition has already won our hearts… and we absolutely love her! 🫶🏼

Now she just needs a name… and we need your help! 🤔✨

💬 Share your best name suggestions in the comments below. Will it be something classic, fun, or uniquely OLC? We can’t wait to see what you come up with! 👇

🌸 YEAR 12 RETREAT 🌸
Our Year 12 students recently stepped away from the busyness of their final year for a sacred time of reflection. Guided by the theme ‘Her Story Continues in Me’, students were invited to pause, reflect and honour the unique journey they have each experienced at Our Lady’s College.

Over three days, students explored their stories through prayer, conversation and creative expression — recognising the moments of challenge, growth and strength that have shaped them into the young women they are becoming. From affirming one another through words, to reflecting on their personal journeys, and courageously “letting go” of what no longer serves them, each experience created space for honesty, gratitude and hope. As our Year 12s begin their final chapter, we are reminded that their story does not end here — her story continues in each of them.

Thank you to our staff who created such a meaningful and supportive environment for our students.

📌 PUPIL FREE DAY I FRIDAY 26 JUNE
A reminder to our OLC community that Friday 26 June is a Pupil Free Day, with no classes scheduled for students. This means Thursday 25 June will now be the final day of Term 2. Wishing our OLC community a joyful finish to the term and a relaxing holiday ahead. 💚💛

That’s a wrap on the 2026 Big Sister Program! 🎉
Our Year 10 students supported our Year 7s as they settled into College life, building connection, confidence and belonging. We are so proud of the leadership, kindness and commitment shown by both year levels - a truly fantastic program!

🏐 STAFF vs STUDENTS SHOWDOWN 🏐
What a match! 🔥 This week saw our annual volleyball clash take centre court – with students bringing the energy, the enthusiasm… and some serious skills!

However, in a plot twist worthy of the A-League, the staff rose to the occasion and claimed the 2026 championship title! 🏆👏

From epic rallies and standout spikes to plenty of laughter and sideline cheers, this game had it all. We all know the real victory was the incredible atmosphere, team spirit and good-hearted competition on display. A huge congratulations to both teams for their sportsmanship, entertainment and for giving us one of the week’s highlights!

SAVE THE DATE I DR JUSTIN COULSON
We warmly invite our Year 9 and 10 students and their parents to join us for a special Breakfast & Family Information Session on Thursday 23 July. We are delighted to welcome Dr Justin Coulson as our guest speaker – a trusted psychologist, author and parenting expert, known for his practical and engaging insights.

☕ Begin the morning with breakfast at 8.00am, followed by Dr Coulson’s presentation at 8.30am.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect as a community and gain valuable insights to support your daughter’s journey through these important years. We look forward to sharing this inspiring morning with you.

Celebrating our School Officers today at Our Lady’s. Miss Clarke and our Year 11 students put on a fantastic full food service to say thank you. We’re so grateful for all you do.

EMPOWERING INFORMED CHOICES
Recently, our Years 11 and 12 students welcomed Tom Reynolds from Independent Drug Education Australia for an engaging presentation as part of our pastoral care program.

Students explored practical strategies for staying safe, supporting their peers and making informed, responsible decisions.

We are grateful for this valuable opportunity to strengthen student wellbeing and empower our young women with knowledge for life. 🫶🏼

🎀 SENIORS’ RIBBON LAUNCH 🎀
Today our Year 12 students were proudly presented with their Seniors ribbons – a beautiful symbol of leadership, legacy and the sisterhood that defines OLC.

This initiative was dreamed up by our incredible student leaders earlier this year, who wanted something meaningful and uniquely theirs. This morning, they led a heartfelt ritual for their cohort, speaking about connection, friendship and the powerful journey they share as the Class of 2026.

Seeing these ribbons tied with pride was a reminder of just how strong and supportive our senior community truly is! 🫶🏼

Here’s to our Seniors - leading with courage, kindness and spirit. 👏💚💛
