Dear Parents and Carers

Yesterday, our year 5 students ventured off to Coolum for their Year 5 camp. This is a time for connection, challenge, and leadership. Already, our students have been jumping (literally) into everything that this camp has to offer. I have been reminded of how our students seek out play situations to challenge and grow themselves. Highlights have been the flying fox, beach activities, and Ps Jayden’s reflection time around the leader within. We pray for safety and continued perfect weather as they complete their activities and travel home tomorrow afternoon.

Grandparents' Day

Today, we have loved sharing the joy and connection between our students, their grandparents and special friends. We value the role our grandparents and special friends play in the lives of Calvary students.

Book Fair

A massive thank you to all who were able to attend Book Fair and support the College. Overall, we made approximately $2400 in sales, meaning that the College will receive around $500 - $800 to spend on school resources. This is will surely bless our College, Teachers and Students. A special thank you to those also who  were able volunteer their time to assist at Book Fair on the day. 

Futsal

Over the past week Calvary Christian College has achieved more sporting success in 2024. 

Recently our futsal teams competed at the Australian Futsal Association Metro Schools Titles. All of our teams competed with excellence throughout the titles. 6 of our teams have qualified through to compete at the finals day. This is a knock out competition against the very best futsal teams in  South East Queensland.

Finals team

Girls- 10s, 11s 12 purple

Boys- 9s, 10s, 11s

Congratulations to all of Calvary's excellent athletes and we support them in their future competitions.

Go Calvary!

Year 6 Canberra Trip

The Year 6 camp is fast approaching. We run a zoom information event for parents and students of Year 6. This will be held on 19 March from 7pm. Access via a link will be emailed to all Year 6 parents along with the camp booklet. As this adventure takes our students inter-state, this is an information session we do not want any parent or student to miss out on. We will record the session and email it afterwards.

Yours sincerely 

Mrs Zoe O'Donnell
Acting Head of Junior School - Carbrook 

Cafe Specials - Week 8

Subway and Free Dress for the end of Term

We are hosting a Subways order day for the last day of Term 1 on the 28 March.

Please note that all orders should be completed by Monday 24 March 2024 and that there is an ice-block party for the class that has the most subways orders.
