Open Mornings : School Tours

Our Open Mornings, specifically tailored for our Year Prep 2020 intake will take place on Wednesday 20th March and Friday 29th March.

Our Year 5/6 Leaders will be available to take new and existing families on school tours between 9:00 and 11:00 am. Feel free to pass this information on to families you know who may be searching for a school for their child next year.

Big Day Out : Combined Schools Celebration

To celebrate Catholic Education Week our Big Day Out: Combined Schools Celebration has been scheduled for Wednesday 13th March. Traditionally Corpus Christi School, along with St Augustine’s Yarraville and Annunciation Brooklyn, (the three schools under Father John O’Connor’s guidance) get together during Catholic Education Week and celebrate with Mass and a fun activity.

We plan to commence with the celebration of Mass at St Augustine’s Church at 10:00am. Following Mass, the children will have an early lunch (BYO) and then we will walk across to the Sun Theatre for a movie afternoon to enjoy the movie A Dog's Way Home which is rated PG (Mild themes). The children will be supplied with a Mini Popcorn Combo (popcorn and drink) to enjoy during the movie. If your child has allergies we ask that you provide a suitable snack for them to enjoy at the cinema.

Children are to wear their full summer school uniform (including hat) and are to bring along their lunch in a disposable bag and their water bottle.  Children will have some Brain Food prior to leaving school.

Children will depart by bus from Corpus Christi at approximately 9:30 am and return by 2:30 pm. CareMonkey permission requests have been sent out with the full details so please make sure you have granted permission for your child to attend.

All new parents would have already received an invitation to join CareMonkey, via email, and enter details for your child/children.  By following the instructions, you can create your own free CareMonkey account and control all data about your child/children. It’s really easy to use. You just need to monitor your email account regularly for school communicated excursions and ‘grant permission’ where necessary. 

Year 1 to 6 Learning Conferences

Learning Conferences for Year 1 to 6  students have been scheduled for:

Wednesday 3rd April, 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Please note that all children in Prep to Year 6 will be dismissed at 1:00 pm that day.

As the child is at the heart of everything we do we ask that all children attend the Learning Conferences with their parents.  

We understand that at times, there may be a need to address matters that ‘aren’t meant for the child’s ears’ and we will certainly accommodate those needs towards the end of the appointment time.

We hope that the opportunity for all to take part in these Learning Conferences proves most beneficial. The meetings will be scheduled every 12 minutes. We understand that in some special cases a longer time will be required and if this is the case you are asked to make alternative arrangements with your class teacher.

Families are to use School Interviews Online to manage bookings. Please go to www.schoolinterviews.com.au and enter the event code of:  ub26c to book interviews for the times that suit your family.

Bookings are now open.
