School Athletics Carnival
Next Monday, 23rd March, we will be conducting our School Athletics Carnival at Moonee Ponds Athletics Track , Aberfeldie Park.
All children (Year Prep - Year 6) will be transported by bus and will return around 1:30 pm.
Buses will be leaving at 9:10 am (sharp) so please have your children at school on time.
All details have been sent out via the NForma Parent Portal. Please read the details carefully and ensure you have granted your child permission to attend. We will not have time on Monday to chase up families who have not responded.
We will also need several parents to volunteer to assist with events, so please indicate your availability via the nForma Parent Portal. Parents will be contacted before the day to confirm your attendance. Please note that volunteers MUST have an up-to-date WWCC.
Parking Across Driveways
We kindly ask for your support in ensuring our school community remains respectful and safe for everyone, including our neighbours.
Recently, we have received concerns from local residents about cars being parked across driveways during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times. Blocking driveways causes significant inconvenience and frustration for residents.
We understand that these times can be busy, however, we ask all families to please take extra care to park legally and considerately, ensuring that driveways are kept clear at all times.
Please be aware that the local council has been notified of this issue and may monitor the area.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain positive relationships within our community.

National Ride2School Day
Corpus Christi is registered for National Ride2School Day and we hope that you will join more than 350,000 students across the nation who will ride, walk, scoot and skate to school on Friday 20th March 2026.
We will have a local start point for National Ride2School Day. Those interested can head to the bike track next to the Kingsville Tennis Club at Hansen Reserve - 37 Wattle St, West Footscray at 8:30 am. From there we can all walk, ride, scoot or skate to school together. Note: this is not an official CCK-supervised event. While members of our PFA will be present, if you are planning on taking part, you will need to be there to supervise your child/children or organise care.
For all your tips and resources in relation to riding, please see Bicycle Network at https://bicyclenetwork.com.au/tips-resources/
Easter Raffle
Last week, each family received a book of raffle tickets to sell to family and friends for our traditional Easter Raffle. Tickets are $1.00 each. Raffle money needs to be returned to the office by Monday, 30th March. Please make sure your child's name (and grade) are written clearly on the tickets.
You are welcome to purchase additonal tickets from the school office.
The raffle will be drawn on Thursday, 2nd April at around 12:45 pm in the Gathering Space.
Easter Egg Donation & Wrapping
In order to create the prizes for the Easter Egg Raffle, we are having an Easter Egg donation day on Friday 27th March. On this day, we ask that every family send in an Easter Egg/Bunny or box of eggs with their child(ren) so that we can package them into prizes for the raffle. Easter Egg donations are to be placed on the tables in the Community Hall upon arrival at school.
We are also looking for donations of cane baskets (or the like) to package our Easter Egg prizes. These can be donated at any time and handed in at the school office.
