Dear Parents and Carers,
It was lovely to see so many families enjoy the Movie and Pizza community event last Friday night. Anytime our community comes together highlights the partnership we have in teaching and raising confident children with a heart to serve, and change their world for the better.
YEAR 5 CAMP
Speaking of confidence, our Year 5 students returned safely from their camp at Luther Heights, Coolum. They worked collaboratively through a series of challenges designed to build their skills and ability to work as a team. The flying fox was a highlight, with many of our students encouraging one another and leading the way for those who were not quite as confident. The students experienced rain and stormy conditions, on the first day, but did not let this stop their comradery or attitude to making the experience fun and memorable.
SCHOLASTIC BOOKFAIR
Bookfair is here! Tomorrow is the final chance to purchase from our Scholastic Book Fair. Each year, this is one of our largest fundraising activities. Each purchase made provides Scholastic points for our school, which we use to purchase books to stock up the library. The Book Fair is open until the end of first break Friday.
GRANDPARENTS’ DAY
Tomorrow, we look forward to seeing some familiar faces around campus – our grandparents! We love Grandparents' Day. We love to hear the students and grandparents exchange stories of school life. We adore the way many grandparents ‘adopt’ other students, and share their time with them, whilst taking part in the learning program for the morning. The role of grandparents in our students' lives is one that we cherish as we see the children light up for their VIP visitors. We value the connection and the opportunity for our students to showcase for grandparents how they are learning, and what they are excited to learn about.
STEP UP TO MIDDLE SCHOOL
Middle School might be just around the corner or a long way off for your child. Can I encourage all parents to consider attending a Step Up session. These are held on each campus each year and the final one for this year is tonight, at the Carbrook campus from 5.30pm. Hear about High School procedures, timetables and subjects. Meet teachers and take a tour of the Middle School at our Carbrook campus. Be informed and ask questions. Students and parents are welcome to attend.
STAGE 2&3 ATHLETICS CARNIVAL - Parent Helpers
Mr McInnes is in need of some Parent Helpers at the upcoming Athletics Carnival, to assist with field events and timekeeping. Please email tim.mcinnes@calvarycc.qld.edu.au if you are able to assist.
FROM THE CARBROOK FARM
If you are down on the Calvary farm, over the coming days, you will hear the distinct sound of new ewe mothers calling to their lambs. Yes, we have new snuggly lambs being born and more to come. Farmer H will be excited to introduce the new Calvary additions to our students when their mummies are ready.
PRINCIPAL TOURS
Our Principals Tours are proving to be very popular within the community. Next week we will once again be opening our doors to showcase our campuses, and invite you to come along and join a tour.
Springwood: Tuesday May 23 @ 9.00am
Carbrook: Thursday May 25 @ 5.30pm
