  • Year 10 Mother/Son event

This morning the House Shout competition filled the Chapel with song and House pride. It is always an event where friendly rivalry shines through, as students channel passion and teamwork into performances. Beyond the songs, House Shout provides a wonderful reminder of the importance of belonging, camaraderie and shared achievement.

Equally inspiring has been the continued growth of our Theatre Sports competition, which was held on Tuesday. Students demonstrated extraordinary quick thinking, creativity and humour in their performances. Theatre Sports develops confidence and communication, and also the courage required to step onto a stage and embrace the unexpected.

On the sporting front, Christ Church students will represent the School at the upcoming PSA Golf and Surfing fixtures this weekend. Both disciplines require focus, skill and composure, and we wish all competitors luck against strong opposition.

This morning we held the Year 10 Mother/Son Breakfast, supported by the Parents’ Association. This gathering provided a meaningful opportunity for reflection and connection, allowing students and their mothers to pause amidst busy schedules and strengthen their relationships. Occasions such as these are invaluable in nurturing the bonds between home and school, and I know many families appreciate sharing these experiences together. Thank you to Dr Vash Singh, our guest speaker, who delivered a fabulous interpretation of the mother/significant female and son relationship, and provided some excellent take aways for the students.

I encourage all families to take advantage of the upcoming mid-term break. After such a productive start to the term, this will be an important opportunity to rest, reset, and return energised for the challenges and opportunities that are ahead in Term 3.
