2025 Schedule of Events

* See schedule of events below.

Age-Group Divisions

All students will be issued with a name sticker that states their name and year of birth.  Age group coordinators will provide students with their sticker when they check in at O’Quinn Street. This will greatly assist staff in ensuring all students are where they should be and competing in the correct age group.  Students compete in their age group not their class year.  Please see below if you are unsure what age group your child falls into:

Event Eligibility & Nomination

OLOL Netball

Best wishes to the OLOL Netball team that will attend the Queensland Cup Primary Schools Carnival in Wk5 (Mon 19 May) at Downey Park Netball Courts in Brisbane.

Training for the team every Monday after this Carnival (starting 26 May) as the team works towards the Catholic Education Carnival on Thursday 31 July.

Representative Sport—Toowoomba & Darling Downs Teams

Throughout the course of the year Toowoomba Primary School Sport and Darling Downs School Sport offer trials to eligible students for a variety of team and individual sports.  To be eligible for selection, students need to be born in 2013, 2014 or 2015. Strict nomination requirements apply, and it is at the sole discretion of the school to decide whether to nominate individual students. OLOL will also host trials for sports which have multiple students seeking to nominate to attend the TPSS or DDSS trials. All trials will be advertised by email to parents, on assembly and in PE lessons, and posted on the Sports Board outside the Hall. The trials listed below are either yet to be advertised or have been advertised and the nomination window is still open.

     *Please note that the dates below are subject to change.

Concerns and Questions

If you have any future questions or concerns, always feel free to contact me. I am very keen to ensure we maintain a high level of communication and give every possible opportunity for students to play, enjoy, and learn in a friendly, safe, positive, and inclusive environment. Please note that I do not work at OLOL on Mondays except for occasional Sporting School lessons, however I am still available to be contacted to ensure I can support and assist in any way possible.
