Deputy Principal, Jnr School - Kim Winton

Dear Parents and Carers,

Congratulations everyone on a wonderful Term One. It has been a fantastic start to the year, and we are so proud of how well our students have settled into their new classes and stages.

Our Easter Chapel was a special way to close off the term. Thank you to those who were able to join us. The message of Easter is such a powerful reminder of the hope and significance of our faith. Pastor Jayden and our students did a beautiful job sharing this through their message, prayers and praise and worship.

If you are looking for a place to celebrate Easter, Real Life Christian Church will be holding services across the Easter weekend, with further details included in today’s communication.

On behalf of the Junior School team, we wish all our families a safe, restful, and joy-filled Easter break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for Term Two.

Update from the Principal

The College Leadership Team (ELT) continues to closely monitor the current global situation. At this stage, the College is operating as usual, and all activities and events, including those involving cross-campus travel, will proceed as planned.

Significant events discussed include:

Cross Country 

ELT made the decision this morning to continue with Cross Country (first week of term) on the Carbrook campus (transporting our Springwood community) as we usually do. We are in conversation with Chris who will consult with his team about the Stage 2&3 Athletics Carnival which is late in Term 2. 

Musical 

ELT also decided that The Musical will go ahead with the usual transport arrangements in place for Springwood students to attend the Matinee Performance, as already planned.  

Social Events 

ELT agreed that the social events planned for students and their families on each campus will go ahead as planned.  

With events unfolding across the globe, should any changes be required, we will communicate with families as promptly as possible.

CAPA Update

Easter Celebrations at Carbrook Chapel

Thank you to our amazing Chapel Band who tackled a big challenge for Easter – ‘Living Hope’. The song has a beautiful message, and combined with  ‘Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)’ – they confidently lead Easter Worship on Tuesday afternoon.  

A big thank you to our Voices Choir, who performed beautifully at Carbrook’s Easter chapel, singing a  beautiful Easter song – ‘Risen for Me’. It is a wonderful reminder that Jesus is real and is risen for me – he loves us so much!

From Term Two, we warmly invite all stages – Preps included – to join in Voices Choir. We rehearse Friday mornings from 7:45 – 8:30am in the Ensemble Room. We will sing a range of songs, some will be hard and some will be easier - so if your child has a love for singing, please come along.
