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 4 Scientists in Action! 🪂🌟 Today our Year 4 students put their creative and scientific minds to the test by designing and building their very own parachutes! 🎨✂️ Through this hands-on experiment, students explored some BIG science ideas: ⚖️ Gravity – pulling everything down to Earth 💨 Air resistance – slowing the parachute’s fall 🤝 Forces working together – helping the parachute land safely It was incredible to see students testing their hypotheses, recording results, and drawing conclusions about which designs worked best. ✅ #cspd2025 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks #CTKLearning
