Dear Parents and Carers,
Vibrant Community is something that underpins everything we do at Calvary - we know we are better together!
This week, we have seen our Vibrant Community in action at the Stage 2 and 3 swimming carnival. For the first time, we were able to run a fully immersed carnival where students were competing against other Calvary students without the separation of each of our campuses. This truly was a celebration of One College, two campuses coming together in vibrant community.
A huge thank you to our PE staff who collaborate so well to bring us these events.
