Thank you to our wonderful Parents Association (PA) for their support with raising funds for our school. The events that made this possible were the Mother's Day stall, the second hand uniform shop and other events from 2025. There have been 3 new TV screens purchased for our 3/4B and 1/2C classrooms and one for our reception area in the school.  These replace dated projectors that have numerous replacement parts in the case of the classrooms and a broken display TV in case of the office area. You will also notice there is new pole padding to further ensure the safety of our students whilst on the playground.  The previous events also contributed to the new audio system and the projector and screen set up in the hall. We are truly grateful for the support of our PA and the parent community to raise some funds for a variety of items to support the safety, wellbeing and learning for our students.

A huge thank you to everyone that supported our students as they participated in their First Eucharist at St. Christopher's church on Sunday, 14th June 2026. A special word of thanks to Maria Mangone for her dedicated work to make yesterday so special for our students and their families. The celebration had all the hallmarks of a memorable occasion for the children; it was well supported by family members, it was well organised, all children participated positively and all were made to feel special.  Fr Jacob did a wonderful job of sharing the significance of the sacrament and engaging the children in the service. Our church provides a beautiful setting for such occasions and there was meaningful symbolism demonstrated throughout the integral parts of the celebration.It also had the added touch of the children’s choir, musicians and a photographer! Thanks to all for making this a special day for our students and their families.  

On Tuesday, 2 June, six St Christopher’s students proudly represented our school at the Monash Division Cross Country Championships after qualifying through the District Cross Country event by finishing in the top 12 of their respective age groups. Congratulations to the following students on their outstanding performances and determination throughout their 2 to 3 Kilometre race: Alexander Archibald Marlowe Tran Eve Zaras David Fan Mikkel Mafole Gabby Li All students demonstrated excellent sportsmanship, resilience and determination as they competed against some of the strongest runners from across the division. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and the way they represented St Christopher’s.    

Last Friday our students were lucky enough to experience an incredible incursion from Musica Viva Australia and the wonderful Music in a Suitcase band! Through music, movement and storytelling, the children travelled around the world exploring different cultures, languages, instruments and traditions from places including Turkey, Egypt, Greece, France and beyond. Students learnt about inclusivity through music while discovering Auslan, Aboriginal terminology, harmony, rhythm and melodies from across the globe. The interactive performance had everyone involved — singing, moving, harmonising and celebrating the power of music together. Our students have been preparing for this experience throughout the term during their music lessons using the Musica Viva program, making today’s performance even more meaningful and engaging. What an amazing opportunity to connect culture, creativity and learning through music! A big thank you to Fiona Markham for your assistance in preparing our students for this and in conjunction with Nisha Feik from Musica Viva for organising the incursion.
