On Monday 2 May 2016 the Rotary Club, North Rocks held their annual Mother’s Day awards to celebrate local mums in the community.
As part of the celebration, Year 5 students from Christ the King Primary, North Rocks and North Rocks Public School were invited to participate in a writing competition entitled “My Mother, My Friend”.
A panel narrowed the submissions down to six students who were then invited, along with their families, to attend a special Rotary Club celebration at the Baulkham Hills Sports Club.
Event organiser Monika Tracey said the annual Mother’s Day awards offered students an opportunity to engage in their writing skills whilst celebrating their mums.
‘Each child read their story or poem to their mum, who was then presented with flowers, chocolates and a bottle of champagne, while the child was presented with a certificate,’ Monika said. ‘Dads and siblings joined us to make this an excellent night.’
Congratulation to the deserving recipients from the Christ the King Primary.

🌿🐾 Year 1 Living Things Project 🐾🌿 Year 1 have been learning all about living things and what they need to survive. Working alongside their wonderful Year 6 buddies, students designed and built a habitat for a living thing of their choice. Their habitats needed to include the essential elements for survival: shelter, food, air, and water. It was fantastic to see our students using their creativity, teamwork, and scientific understanding to bring their ideas to life. A big congratulations to Year 1 for their thoughtful designs and to our Year 6 buddies for their support and encouragement throughout the project. Well done, Year 1! 👏✨ #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

🌟 Year 2 Showcase 🌟 Thank you to all the families who joined us for our Year 2 Showcase. We were so excited to share a snapshot of our learning this term. Our prayer songs have been at the heart of our daily classroom life, helping us to pray, show kindness, and remember that God is always with us. The students loved performing three of their favourites: Tickery Tock, God United, and My Lighthouse. We also shared our History learning, where we explored how communication has changed over time from the past to the many ways we connect today, including phones, emails, and video calls. Families also enjoyed viewing our creative clay sculptures, where students had the freedom to design and create their own unique artworks. We are so proud of all the students for their hard work and enthusi#CTKNorthRocks More photos to come:) #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks

❄️💙 CTK Family Winter Sleepout Challenge 💙❄️ This July, we invite all Christ the King families to take part in our Family Winter Sleepout Challenge. 🏠 Spend some time together outside on a piece of cardboard in your backyard or on your balcony. 🙏 Pray for people experiencing homelessness. 🥣 Share a simple meal such as soup and bread. 💭 Reflect on what it might be like to live without a safe place to sleep or regular meals. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow in empathy, gratitude and compassion while supporting the important work of Vinnies. 📸 We'd love to see your family taking part! Send your photos to the school. Together, let's make a difference for those in need. ❤️ #CTKFamilyChallenge #WinterSleepout #FaithInAction #Vinnies #CompassionInAction
