This term in Year 2 students are learning about the importance of Baptism and how baptism brings people closer to God.
They have been talking about baptism with their parents and have brought in pictures and items from their own baptism which they have used to help in their understanding of this sacrament.
Year Two students went on a gallery walk looking at the physical symbols of the Rite of Baptism and added key words and phrases about what the symbols are and what they may mean.
Students use the images from the gallery walk to sequence the Rite of Baptism. They enjoyed using an iPad to take a photo of their sequence, these were then shared with the grade on the TV.
Christ the King is lucky enough to have our parish church on the same grounds as the school, so we were able to visit the church to help in our understanding of Baptism.
Tabitha wrote "On the 5th of June my class went to the church to meet with Father Ian to learn more about the Sacrament of Baptism. Father Ian showed us the oil of Chrism. I was amazed because I’d never seen the oil of Chrism. The second oil that he showed us was the oil of Catechumen. The oil of Catechumen has a sweet smell".

✨ Back to School in Year 4! ✨ What a wonderful start to the term! This week, our Year 4 students have been exploring their personal identity — thinking about who they are, what makes them unique, and the special qualities they bring to our classroom community. 🌟 Through fun discussions, activities and creative tasks, students reflected on their interests, strengths and values, and then discovered how they share similarities with their classmates. 💬💛 #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks #CTKLearning

Transitioning smoothly into ‘big school’: What parents need to know
The first day of Kindergarten! It’s a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting “big school” marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

It was such a privilege for our 52 students from the Christ the King School Choir, conducted by Mr Kennaugh, to share the Christmas spirit with our wider school community at the Epping Club this afternoon. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Epping Club for inviting us again this year. The Christ the King School Choir looks forward to spreading more festive cheer as we perform at the Carlingford Twilight Carols this coming Sunday.🎄
