Dear Parents and Carers,
Whether you made it an Ekka show day or a rest day, I hope you’ve enjoyed the public holiday this week.
If you happen to be at the Ekka over the coming days, be sure to visit Calvary’s Sheep Show Team. Each year staff, students, and a selection of Calvary’s finest farm animals, camp at the Agricultural Pavilion and participate in the Grand Parade and Young Judges competitions.
Congratulations to the Sheep Show team and to our JAG and Visual Arts club students on the many ribbons and places you’ve received throughout the week!
Prep & Stg 1 Athletics Carnival
Due to the wet weather earlier in the week, this event has been postponed to Wednesday 28 August. All other details remain the same. Please see information here.
Discovery Expo
When learning has a purpose, particularly an opportunity to showcase it to the community, we see another level of investment and motivation in the children. This term, every stage from Prep – Stage 3 has taken a deep dive into the concept of Discovery. The table below shows you the scope and sequence of learning taking place across the school.
On Tuesday 10 September before pick up, we invite parents, friends and family to come and see first -hand, the progress the students have made in their inquiries. Please play an active role by asking them questions, engage in the activities they’ve created and let them be your teacher as they share all they have learned.
Happy Hens Update
There is a feature in My Student Account where student ID cards can be topped up and used as payment. Those students who prefer this form of payment can only use their student card for over-the-counter tuckshop items on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays. Cash or EFT payments are preferred for Happy Hens café mornings to ensure no delays in the ordering process please.
Book Week
It’s Book Week next week. Our character dress up parade is being held at the church 9am Wednesday morning and will replace our usual afternoon Assembly. It is recommended that students have appropriate clothing under their costumes for the remainder of the day. Free dress day expectations apply, closed in shoes and sun safe clothing must be worn at all times.
Hoping to see you all at the upcoming Father’s Night community event.
Mrs Kim Winton
Head of Junior School - Springwood Campus
