The Christ the King Year 7 cohort recently engaged in a well-deserved wellbeing morning during Learner Mentor, where a rotation of activities including mindful art, yoga, bracelet making, sports and board games were conducted. These aimed to provide some stress relief after the Year 7s completed their first ever examinations.

A Mental Fitness presentation was also delivered by an elite athlete who have been trained to share their experiences with young people to help them recognise the strategies they can implement to improve mental health and wellbeing for themselves and their friends.

Thank you, Ms Xie, for all your hard work in creating both a fun and relaxed atmosphere for our Year 7s.

Our Year 8s heard from the Butterfly Foundation presenting ‘Let’s Talk Body Image’. This presentation aims to empower young people, through the way they use and view social media platforms, to have a safer, more positive online experience.

There has been a focus on Positive Movement in Year 8 Learner Mentor in response to student feedback. A very well received initiative that the Year 8s are loving!

Thank you, Ms De Git, for tailoring Learner Mentor to the needs of our students.

Our Year 9 cohort is buzzing with exploration and excitement as they undertake their subject selection process. Careers counselling conversations are just one way that students are guided through this process, helping them to explore their passions and potential future pathways.

The CTK & SJ cohorts came together for a collaboration morning during Learner Mentor on 15 May. Calm Youth, an external presenter, visited the College to lead activities designed to enhance communication, cooperation, and problem-solving skills; perfect preparation for the cohorts coming together in 2026.

Thank you, Ms Kaur, for looking after our Year 9s and for thoroughly preparing them for what lies ahead.

Our CTK readers have tested themselves this Term by engaging in the Read Your Height Challenge. With some healthy competition, many students are developing a greater love for reading than ever before. Thank you to Ms Tsoulfidis for organising and guiding our students through an experience that will improve literacy skills as well as spark curiosity.

With just three weeks remaining in Term 2, I encourage every student to make the most of every opportunity at school; engage in activities, strengthen connections, and embrace experiences that foster personal growth and enrichment. We look forward to all that Semester 2 has in store for our campus.
