Exciting Happenings at Our Lady of Lourdes!

The past few weeks at Our Lady of Lourdes have been filled with enriching experiences for our students. From captivating visits by authors and the joy of National Simultaneous Story Time to an unforgettable trip to the Brisbane Planetarium for our Year 2s, it has certainly been very engaging for our students.

Students have been enjoying lunch time Art, Drama, STEM, and Gardening clubs and it is a joy seeing their smiles as they experience creativity, curiosity, and cooperative play.

Our talented school choir gave a fantastic performance at the Toowoomba Eisteddfod, earning third place in their section—an achievement we’re incredibly proud of! It was also inspiring to witness the determination of students at our Cross Country carnival, showcasing their resilience and courageous spirit. Our Year 3-6 students have been eagerly preparing for the upcoming Athletics Carnival, sharpening their skills with practice sessions each Friday.

Lourdes has been well represented at various competitions, including the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Chess Tournament, West Zone Cross Country, and the Queensland Cup Primary Schools Netball Carnival in Brisbane. Congratulations to all these students.

All these experiences are examples of how we strive to create a school environment that encourages our students to enthusiastically participate in their schooling. We strive to foster an environment where our learners feel a strong sense of belonging, are valued, and are inspired to learn.

This commitment extends to our dedicated staff, who are invited to actively engage in professional learning teams (PLTs). These teams provide opportunities for collaboration, growth, and innovation in key areas, including Teaching & Learning, Behaviour & Engagement, Technology, and Mission & Identity. 

It’s clear that learning is a huge focus at Lourdes. Through a variety of initiatives, opportunities, and community-driven efforts, we aim to ensure that every student and staff member is empowered to participate, learn, and grow.
