Dear Parents and Carers

This week our students have not skipped a beat. There have been dance practises for Celebration, farm visits and various cocurricular activities. The Learning Habits of Creativity is already being grown and celebrated in each of the stages. Perhaps you could ask your child how they have shown creativity this week?

End of Year Awards Services

As the end of the year approaches, we take time to look back and celebrate achievement and growth of our students in many different areas. This year the junior school students will be recognised during an Awards Assembly, Sports Award evening, CAPA Soiree and Celebration. Please see the letter attached outlining the awards that will be presented at each of the events. If your child is receiving and award at any of these events, you will receive an email alerting you to this.

Debating

Our Stage 3 debating teams participated in their second last round of debating on Wednesday evening. Both the Year 5 and Year 6 teams won their debate, continuing their undefeated, winning streak. We wish to honour the motivation, investment and communication skills demonstrated by each of the students during this debating season.

New Student Welcome

Today, Carlee Johnston took our new students and a buddy of their choosing to the Mango Café for a delicious milkshake.

We welcome our new students and pray that your transition to Calvary will be a smooth one.

Lost Property

Lost property has been moved to the walkway between the Gotfredsen and Ann-Doyle building (Prep and Stage 1). A friendly reminder to name all your child’s items so that we can return them back to the owners. You are most welcome to access the lost property for any of your child’s items also.

Parent Presentation - Thursday 12 October

Understanding the Adolescent Brain & Mental Health Parent Session 

We have invited our local Ed-LinQ psychologist to facilitate a Parent & Tween/Teen session about the adolescent brain, and signs to watch for that might indicate your child requires further support. 
We’d now like to extend this invitation to our teens/tweens. This is a great opportunity for them to learn more about their brain, and start healthy conversations about adolescent mental health and well-being within our families. 

Thursday 12 Oct @ 6pm - Carbrook Campus

If you require child minding, there will be a 'G' rated supervised movie screening.
