On Tuesday, Year 6 attended Our Lady of Lourdes Seven Hills, to support Olivia K in the final of the Parramatta Diocese Voice of Youth.
Olivia was selected to compete against five other students and presented her speech on Organ Donation. This is a phenomenal effort as throughout the Diocese there are 2500 Year 6 students who all entered this year’s Voice of Youth competition. Olivia delivered her speech to the audience with poise and confidence as did the other five students, and left the judges with an extremely tough choice as to who should receive the awards.
Olivia received the Social Justice Award. This award is given to the student whose speech is on a topic that aligns with the Catholic social teachings of the church and highlights an area of awareness or need in our society. This is a very prestigious award and one that we at Christ the King are extremely proud to see Olivia receive it.
Congratulations Olivia on a great effort of writing, practicing and presenting your speech over the term. The awards you have received are a credit to your effort and character.Year 6 Teacher

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, itβs surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

ππ¦ Early Birds Reading Club β Kindy & Year 5 What a wonderful way to start the day! π π Our Early Birds Reading Club brings together our Kindy and Year 5 students for a special time of shared reading and connection. Our Year 5 students become reading buddies encouraging our youngest readers and helping them develop confidence and a love of books. πβ€οΈ Itβs not just about reading β itβs about building friendships, developing leadership, sharing the joy of stories and creating a strong sense of belonging across our school community. Cross-age reading programs can support both literacy and social development, while giving older students opportunities to develop leadership and empathy. A wonderful start to the morning for our Early Birds! π¦β¨ #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks

Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading
Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

π¦ Kindy Zoo Excursion β Living Things π¨ Our Kindy students had a wonderful day exploring the zoo as part of their Science unit on Living Things! πΏπ Students had the opportunity to observe a variety of animals in their habitats and learn more about what living things need to survive and grow. They looked closely at how animals move, eat, live and interact with their environments. The excursion provided a wonderful opportunity for our young scientists to take their learning outside the classroom and make real-world connections with the natural world. ππ A fantastic day of exploring, observing and discovering! Well done, Kindy! πππ¦ #Kindy #LivingThings #Science #ZooExcursion #YoungScientists #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #HandsOnLearning #CTK #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic

ππ Young Mary Comes to Life! ππ Today, our students were captivated by the inspiring performance of Young Mary, a play exploring the early life of St Mary MacKillop. Through storytelling students discovered how Mary's deep faith, courage and compassion shaped her life from a young age. They learnt about her determination to help those most in need and her unwavering trust in God, even when faced with challenges. The performance reminded us all that we can make a difference through kindness, perseverance and service to others, just as St Mary MacKillop did. Her famous words, "Never see a need without doing something about it," continue to inspire our school community to live our faith through action every day. Thank you to the performers for bringing Mary's remarkable story to life and helping our students connect with the legacy of Australia's first saint. β€οΈπ #StMaryMacKillop #YoungMary #FaithInAction #CatholicEducation #CTK #LearningThroughTheArts #cspd2025 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney
