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!

๐๏ธ๐ฟ Year 5 & 6 Blue Mountains Camp ๐ฟ๐๏ธ What an incredible adventure our Year 5 and 6 students had at camp in the beautiful Blue Mountains! From exciting outdoor challenges to team-building activities, students embraced every opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, build resilience and create lasting memories with their friends. Throughout the camp, students demonstrated courage, perseverance and teamwork as they encouraged one another to try new experiences. Whether they were conquering challenges, exploring the stunning natural environment or sharing laughs around camp, they showed our school values every step of the way. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff for their care and support, and to our students for representing Christ the King so wonderfully. We hope everyone returned home with new friendships, greater confidence and memories to treasure for years to come! ๐โจ #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks
