Infant students at Christ the King visited the Life Education mobile learning centre this week as a part of their Personal Development, Health and Physical Education syllabus.
The mission of Life Education is to empower our children and young people to make safer and healthier choices through education. They believe that prevention is the way to best help young people grow into healthy young adults who make good choices.
On Monday Kindergarten meet Healthy Harold for the first time. Healthy Harold is a giraffe who educates students on their level. They participated in the ‘My Body Matters” program which focuses on personal hygiene, a healthy, balanced diet, the importance of sleep and ways to keep safe. Year 1 completed the ‘Ready, Steady, Go’ program. Students were thrilled to hear Healthy Harold teach them about the benefits of physical activity, safety strategies in different areas, how our body reacts to new situations and the importance of good nutrition and sleep. Finally our Year 2 students welcomed Healthy Harold back in growing good friends program. This program builds on the information learnt in earlier years and includes showing students ways to explore positive relationships and how they have a benefit on our health and well being.
Below is a video of some of the students talking about their experience in the Life Education van.

The Santiagos had a big week at the Art Gallery of NSW! ππ₯π Maella (Yr4), Santi (Yr2) and Sari (sibling) valiantly endured the exclusive Artists Lunch on Thursday, the high volume of the Opening Night on Friday and an early rise for the Collectors and Benefactors Breakfast on Monday. π¨π Our students claimed the attention in every room they walked through. They met and spoke with prize-winning artists, high ranking curators, art patrons, the odd celebrity here and there and they are now on a high-five basis with the Art Gallery of NSW director. They generously posed for every photo request and even delivered an artist talk with the Archibald's curator for the collectors and gallerists. ππ‘ And it's not over yet! Our last event will be Maella's Young Archies awards ceremony on the 24th June. Stay tuned for more photos then!π

Old student star post ππ Christ The King has always produced some amazing students both in academics and sport. Marcus Younis (class of 17) recently made his A League debut for the Western Sydney Wanderers. Marcus has had to deal with quite a few injuries that have hampered his progress to achieving his goals, but through perseverance, determination and hard work, he has overcome these obstacles and it is all paying off. Marcusβs sister Talia Younis (Class of 2020) has also been excelling in football. Talia recently travelled to Mongolia to represent the U/17 Young Matildaβs in the Asian Cup qualifiers against Mongolia and Chinese Taipei. At just 14 years old, Talia played a pivotal part in the sides victories, including scoring a goal. She will further represent the national side later on in the year. Congratulations Marcus and Talia on your wonderful achievements. CTK are proud of you and we look forward to watching you reaching the pinnacle of football. β½οΈβ½οΈ

Remembering ANZAC Day at Christ the King πΊππΏ They shall not grow old, As we who are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun And in the morning We will remember them. We will remember them. Lest we forget.
