Students and teachers from St Monica's Primary and Christ the King Primary at the unveiling
Students from St Monica’s Primary, Parramatta North and Christ the King Primary, North Rocks were invited to a special private party at Westfield North Rocks for the unveiling of large format wall mural the students designed collaboratively over Term 2.
The schools were approached by Westfield to design a large-scale mural to provide the backdrop for the new Fun Lab play area at the North Rocks centre. Teachers at St Monica’s and Christ the King selected 10 students from Year 6 to take part in the project.
The students worked together during Term 2 to generate ideas, sketch designs, vote on the best concepts and produce digital designs using specialised software.
Students were thrilled to see their work unveiled and received travel mugs featuring their graphic designs as a thank you from Westfield. They proudly showed off their work to their families before enjoying a party and a chance to test out the new play equipment in the Fun Lab.
Sharon Boulos, who teaches Year 5/6 at St Monica’s Primary said the students have really enjoyed getting to know each other.
‘So many new friendships have formed and the students have really valued the opportunity to work together with students from Christ the King,’ said Sharon.
Year 6 teacher Helen Nafranowicz from Christ the King Primary said the project was the first that allowed her students’ work to be seen by the whole community.
‘They will see their own work every time they visit the shopping centre and know that their work has an audience beyond the school community which is something they’re very proud of,’ said Helen.
Teacher Patrick Vidot, also from Christ the King Primary said the students really enjoyed the opportunity to be involved in the design process from start to finish.
‘The students were given creative control for this project and they should be very proud of the work they’ve created for the community to enjoy,’ said Patrick.

π§βοΈ Year 4βs Ice Challenge! βοΈπ§ Today our amazing Year 4 scientists π§ͺπ§ took on the Ice Challenge as part of our Science unit on heat energy π₯ and states of matter π§βοΈ! We started with a big question: Why does ice float? π§ Students observed ice cubes floating in water and shared their thoughts π¬. Then came the fun part β the melting challenge! Who could melt their ice cube the fastest using only the warmth of their hands? ποΈπ₯Άπ₯ There were chilly hands π§€, lots of laughter π, and fantastic thinking π€― as students discovered that heat energy causes ice to change state from solid to liquid! π‘ They even worked together in teams π€ to draw what happens to particles in solids and liquids π§β‘οΈπ¦. So proud of our curious, clever and collaborative learners! ππ

CTK prays for Pope Francis In his 2023 address to the young people of the world at World Youth Day, Pope Francis told them to βCarry on; if you fall, get back up; walk with a goal in mind, and train each day of your lives. Nothing is free in life, everything has to be paid for. Only one thing is free: the love of Jesus! So, with this free gift that we have, and the desire to carry on the journey, let us walk in hope, let us be mindful of our roots, and move forward without fear. Do not be afraid.β
