Dear Parents and Carers

It was lovely to see so many families coming for parent-teacher interviews this week. If you were unable to book in for an interview, please email your child’s class teacher if you would like to arrange a time to meet and discuss what’s going well and what could be even better, in the context of learning and school life.

Volleyball

On Wednesday, we sent 47 students out to compete in Queensland Volleyball Cup, which was held at Cleveland District State High School. Many of our Stage 2 and 3 students have been diligently attending Volleyball training as a part of our cocurricular program and this was a chance to put all the skills learned into action. Congratulations to all students who participated. All these players will get to compete again later in the term. We also would like to acknowledge our year 4/5 boys, year 6 boys and girls Competitive teams in qualifying for the Volleyball Queensland Finals.

Uniform Update

There are still some stock and supply issues with The School Locker and we are aware that some students may not be able to purchase a formal or a sport jacket. Students are able to wear any Calvary jacket they have with the assigned uniform for the day.

There are also some formal uniform item sizes out-of-stock at the moment. If you are unable to source a full formal uniform for your child at the moment, they may wear a full sport uniform as a replacement until stock is replenished.

Please be reminded of uniform expectations regarding shoes, hair, jewellery/nail polish found on page 9 of the Parent Manual located on the College website.

Parent Focus Groups

WE NEED YOU! 

At Calvary, you are invited to be an active partner in the education of your child/ren and we would like to invite you to provide us with feedback.

We are seeking feedback to help us get a greater understanding of what you value, what we are doing well and to hear about how your child's learning journey has been going.

This year we would like to invite you to attend an in-person session to talk with an external Marketing Consultant, Phil Winton. Phil has been working with the College as an external consultant since 2022.

The focus of these sessions will be to ask you a series of questions and work through and unpack your responses. This process will allow broader discussion and help provide us with a richer understanding of your feedback.

The Executive Leadership Team will not be made aware of who attended the sessions.

For parent registration, 3 sessions on Wednesday 24 July.
