A Christ the King Year 5 student, Sarah is raising money and cutting her hair for the Kids with Cancer Foundation. She has already raised nearly $11 000.
After seeing a promotion for everyday hero on a social media app, 11 year old Sarah thought that raising money and shaving her hair for kids with cancer was a cool idea. Sarah said “I thought I could do that as well.” So she went about setting up her page and sharing it with friends and family to begin raising much needed funds for those who are youngest in our community with cancer.
“I've created this page because I want to make a difference and help by fundraising for Kids with Cancer. I am going to shave my head and donate my hair to Variety, The Children's Charity, because they have a special wigs for kids program and it will be made into a wig for children who don't have hair of their own. 25th September 2019 is the big day!
I'm inspired by the work of Kids with Cancer Foundation and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in Fundraise for Kids with Cancer Foundation.”
The Kids with Cancer Foundation is an independent non profit Public Benevolent Institution. Our funds go to help the youngest sufferers of childhood cancer from newborn babies to young teens. We provide direct financial assistance to families with household bills, accommodation and flights etc. Funds are also provided to children’s hospitals for vital equipment along with salaries for: research, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, social workers etc. and capital works to build new or modernize existing oncology day wards.
Congratulations Sarah for promoting such a worthwhile cause.
Sarah personally thanks everyone who donated.

This term, Year 6 became published authors! πβοΈ Our talented students have worked hard to plan, draft, and write their very own novels. They explored how to build strong characters, create exciting complications, and choose the right genre to suit their story. They also learned how to use descriptive language, figurative expressions, and dialogue to hook and hold the readerβs attention from beginning to end. We are so proud of their creativity and commitment! You can find their novels on display in the Library during Term 3 β ready for borrowing and sharing with our school community. #Year6Authors #CTKWriting #YoungWriters #LibraryProud #CTKLearning #CreativeWriting #StorytellersOfTomorrow

Stage 3 Mini Vinnies Sleep Out πποΈπ Last week, our Stage 3 students took part in a mini Sleep Out to raise awareness about homelessness and what it means to go without certain comforts. Through reflection, discussion, and a simple meal, students deepened their understanding of social justice and the importance of compassion and service. Fr Ian gave a compelling real life example for our students about a man who found himself on the streets even though he had been well educated. It was a powerful experience that reminded us all how fortunate we are β and how we can make a difference, even in small ways. #MiniVinnies #CTKFaithInAction #Stage3Leadership #SocialJustice #CatholicMission #CTKCommunity #MakingADifference #cspd2025 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks #CTKLearning
