Dear Parents and Carers
Stage 3
As we celebrate our Year 6 cohort’s final year of Junior School, it’s important to keep the legacy of leadership and mentorship growing. It’s a season of preparing students for their next step. This week we held captaincy speeches for aspiring leaders in Year 5. The results of this process will be announced at the Awards Assembly.
CPA Soiree / Sports Awards Evening
Tonight, we celebrate the efforts and achievement of our Performing Arts and Ensemble members at the CPA Soiree. This event begins at 4:00pm and flows into the Sports Awards evening, which begins at 6.00pm, recognising our Netball, Futsal and Volleyball team members. The flyer below provides further details. Junior school-based Performing Arts and Sports Awards will be presented at the upcoming Awards Assembly service.
Awards Assembly
Students selected to receive special awards will be presented at our upcoming Awards Assembly, Thursday 14 November. Parents of recipients have been notified and we welcome all parents and family members to attend, Calvary Community Centre (CCC) 2.00 pm.
Spare books/Stationery
Our staff are busy sorting any stationary or books that have not been used throughout the year. Any additional items will be sent home by Friday to assist you in ordering booklist items for 2025.
2025 booklists
Please refer to the appropriate list for your child for 2025.
Celebration
Our Celebration event is drawing near. The student’s rehearsals are going so well, and we have costumes coming together.
We are finalising numbers for the sausage sizzle in the intermission between Celebrations for our Prep and Stage 1 students and Stage 2 and 3. Please don’t for get to book your tickets and indicate whether you and your family would like a sausage sizzle.
Please note students will not need a booked seat for the Celebration session they are performing in. If they are watching a sibling Celebration, they will need a seat booked for that session. Click on the link below for more details.
Alumni Students - Photo's for JS Celebrations
We are busy planning our JS Celebration which is focusing on the 40-year anniversary of Calvary. Our hope is to be able to share with our family the mission of Calvary, and how we are called to go out and love others.
We are reaching out to our Alumni Students of the College. We would like to finish our Prep – Stage 1 Celebration with a short video that shows a photo of our Alumni when they were at Calvary, and a photo of them with their family now.
If you would be interested in participating in this video, could you please send the following to Jo Johnson. Jo-ann.johnson@calvarycc.qld.edu.au
- A photo of you as a student at Calvary
- A photo of you with your family now. If you could have a heart in this photo to reinforce this year’s theme of love, that would be amazing (but not necessary)
- The years you attended Calvary
- One sentence about what you are doing now.
We are hoping this will powerfully represent the idea that what is started at Calvary continues far beyond when our students leave the College.
