We have many events in the next few weeks, so please read carefully!  Thanks to all the parents who completed the Parent Feedback Survey for 2025/26 planning.  Your feedback will help us continue to improve O’Dea next year!

Fun Run and PTA Funds Update – We are moving forward with installing new blinds throughout O’Dea and this should be completed by May 2025!  With the second target – School Marquee – we allocated $20,000 of Fun Run to support this.  Unfortunately, the quote for the Marquee came out at $28,000.  We are working to find the final $8,000 this year or will finish fundraising for this initiative next year.  Thanks for all of your support in making O’Dea amazing.
