Tianna B, Caitlin B, Olivia S, Tahlia Y, Brinleigh G, Callan M and Anthony M all represented Parramatta Diocese and Christ the King in numerous events after qualifying through the Diocesan carnival. Congratulations to all students who competed against very talented and tough opposition doing their school proud. Many of our students achieved personal best performances.

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

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.

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

Burning off the waffles cream and berries (berries seemed to be optional for most) before our last 2 activities. Had a great night last night with schnitzel for dinner and trivia. There were lots of tired bodies last night. They should all sleep well tonight. See you all this afternoon!
