Last week, our First VIII rowers travelled to Tasmania to compete in the Australian Open Schools Rowing Championship, testing themselves against the nation’s best. The crew delivered an impressive performance, securing second place in the 500m Sprint Race and finishing fourth in the B Final. This event provided a valuable opportunity for our rowers to build on their successful PSA season while gaining experience on the national stage. Beyond the competition, they also enjoyed connecting with fellow athletes from across the country.
Over the weekend, the final PSA Summer fixture was held, marking the conclusion of a highly successful season for the School. Our teams delivered outstanding performances, securing four cups: Water Polo, Rowing (Challenge and Hamer Cups), and Swimming Inters. Notably, our Water Polo team finished the season undefeated – an exceptional achievement that reflects the students’ unwavering dedication, skill, and hard work in the pool. This success would not have been possible without the dedication and support of our coaches, staff, and parents. Their guidance, encouragement, and countless hours behind the scenes have played a vital role in ensuring our students perform at their best.
Autism Awareness Week is an opportunity to celebrate neurodiversity, foster understanding, and promote inclusion for individuals on the autism spectrum. To mark the occasion, students from the Peter Moyes Centre (PMC) helped organise activities. Our Year 12 students were also invited to support the PMC’s Barista Boys initiative by purchasing hot drinks. This program provides students with hands-on experience in essential café operations, equipping them with valuable practical skills for the future.
Over the weekend, a group of Christ Church families took to the stage for ‘Fam Jam’, a much-anticipated event led by our talented Music Department. This unique initiative brings families together to form musical groups, with rehearsals held throughout the term, culminating in a vibrant showcase. It was wonderful to see parents and students performing side by side, celebrating their shared love of music in a fun and supportive environment.
A group of Senior School students embarked on a Service in Action (SIA) tour to Marble Bar this week, where they will spend time working closely with the local community. As part of the program, they will assist teachers at the local school, supporting students in their learning while gaining invaluable insights into the culture and daily life of the region. This immersive experience not only strengthens our students’ sense of service but also fosters meaningful connections with the people of Marble Bar.
This morning, our staff are coming together for The Biggest Morning Tea, a wonderful initiative that brings our school community together in support of a vital cause. Organised to raise funds for cancer research and support services, the event provides an opportunity for staff to connect with a shared goal to making a difference. This is undoubtedly close to many of our hearts within the Christ Church community. By participating in this important initiative, we not only support cancer research but also model empathy and collective action to our students.
