My experience at the Las Vegas Acro Cup—Acrobatic Gymnastics Competition
On the 16th of March my family and I arrived in Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Acro Cup. Throughout the week myself and my acro partner trained and went to see different performances. My partner and I competed in the 12-18 women’s pair division with many other countries such as Israel, Germany, Estonia, America and many more. Over the two days my partner and I competed we performed two very strong routines which placed us in the top six, meaning that we made it to the finals.
The next day we competed, performing our third and final routine and after scoring we came fourth place overall missing the bronze by only 0.4 marks. We were presented with a ribbon each and we were extremely proud to be representing not only our club but Australia in another country.
It was a great learning experience and will help my aspiration to represent Australia again in the world championships in 2020. The next day we flew out to San Francisco, we went sightseeing and saw many amazing sites including Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge and houses and sets from different movies including the house from Mrs Doubtfire, the house from The Princess Diaries and places such as Lombard St. It was an amazing and fun trip which I will never forget.

ποΈπΏ Year 5 & 6 Blue Mountains Camp πΏποΈ What an incredible adventure our Year 5 and 6 students had at camp in the beautiful Blue Mountains! From exciting outdoor challenges to team-building activities, students embraced every opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, build resilience and create lasting memories with their friends. Throughout the camp, students demonstrated courage, perseverance and teamwork as they encouraged one another to try new experiences. Whether they were conquering challenges, exploring the stunning natural environment or sharing laughs around camp, they showed our school values every step of the way. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff for their care and support, and to our students for representing Christ the King so wonderfully. We hope everyone returned home with new friendships, greater confidence and memories to treasure for years to come! πβ¨ #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks31 Aug 2026

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.

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
