On Wednesday 25th September Sarah took the plunge and had her hair removed to fulfil her commitment to Chop for Charity.
Organised through the Variety Club Australia, Sarah set up a fundraising page, promising to cut off her beautiful hair and donate it to children with cancer. People sponsored Sarah and over the past couple of months she managed to raise and amazing $12 500.
Here are some of Sarah’s reflections on the process.
It was a nerve racking and exciting experience.
"After school I went to the salon with my Mum and three friends from school. I sat in the chair and they tied little pony tails all over my head. Then they cut each one off. Once that was done they started to shave, I was watching in the mirror as butterflies fluttered in my stomach.
"I knew I was doing a good thing but it felt so weird. Everyone’s reaction has been wonderful, my family and friends have said how brave I am. I am excited to see how my hair grows back! I may even take a photo every day so that I can go back and watch it grow in fast forward.
"I would like to thank everyone who has donated money and have shared words of encouragement with me. I hope my hair goes to someone who really needs it.
All of us in the Christ the King community are very proud of Sarah and her hard work and commitment to helping children less fortunate than her.
Congratulations Sarah!

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¦.

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
