Dear Parents and Carers,
It was a lovely morning celebrating Happy Hens 9th birthday! Thank you for coming and supporting this milestone with us.
Stages 1-3 Cross Country
We were so proud of the students’ participation and effort in the Cross Country event yesterday. It was a hot day, which made for tough running conditions, but our students showed resilience and motivation to get in and give it their very best. Congratulations to our Age Champions and thank you Mr McInnes, Mr Linning and Mr Paech for organising a fantastic event for everyone to enjoy.
Prep Fun Run
Preppies, we don’t want you missing out on an opportunity to show your speed and talent on the field. Our friendly Prep Fun Run will be held this Monday afternoon. Mr Mac will be creating an obstacle adventure that parents and Prep students can enjoy.

The last day of term is our Free Dress and Crazy Hair fundraiser. We are raising funds to support our College Compassion children. Students are asked to bring a $2 coin donation for wearing free dress with a funky, fun or interesting hairstyle.

Year 6 Canberra Trip
The Zoom information session recording has been posted on Stage 3 Facebook groups for those who missed it. Please refer to the camp booklet and send any questions to your child’s class teacher. All groups and details will be finalised before the holidays so please ensure you have completed the approval on Parent Lounge; the dietary/medical form (via the link) today and return the sign Cycling Canberra form to your teacher or by scanning to spr.administration@calvarycc.qld.edu.au
We ask that parents please complete the Cycling Form even if their students are currently expressing reservations about taking part. We will have a staff member supervising students who opt out of the cycling activity, however a signed form will enable them to take part if they change their mind on the day. Please email your teacher if you have any concerns.
