Open Week
Next week is Open Week!
Our Student Leaders and Tour Guides will be conducting tours Monday 16th March to Friday 20th March between 9:00am and 11:00am.
While information has been delivered to our Kindergartens, if you or someone you know has a child starting school next year, this is your opportunity to see how we operate.
You are welcome to come at any time between 9:00 am and 11:00 am.
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
This week, each family will receive 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
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 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.
We will be wrapping all our Easter Egg donations into prizes for the raffle straight after our Assembly on Monday 30th March. If you are able to help, please make your way up to the hall after assembly. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Years 1-6 Learning Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday 1st April commencing at 2:00 pm. Children will finish at 1:15 pm on this day.

Mobile Phones and Smart Watches
Please note the following procedures as outlined in our Acceptable Use of ICT Agreement for Students-
As a Student at Corpus Christi School my school also requires me to:
- Hand in my mobile phone to the office at the beginning of the day and not make use of my mobile phone (if I possess one) during the school day
- Disable smart watch (if I possess one) features while I am at school
We ask that families reiterate these processes with their child and that you ensure Smart Watches are disabled before your child enters school grounds.
Students who breach this agreement will have their devices removed.
