Dear Parents and Carers,

As our end of year events are approaching, our weekly communications will help you track all the important things related to your child that we encourage you to be a part of.  Reach out to your child’s teacher or the office staff if you need further details.

CPA Soiree / Sports Awards Evening

On Thursday 7 November 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, with the Junior School Awards commencing at 6.00pm and the MSS School at 6.45pm, recognising our Netball, Futsal and Volleyball team members. The flyers below provides further details. Junior School-based Performing Arts and Sports Awards will be presented at the upcoming Awards Assembly service.

Awards Assembly - Photo Challenge

At the Awards Assembly on Wednesday 13 November 2024, we would like to celebrate the special achievements and passion areas of all our students through a video. To do this, we are asking that you send in a photo (in JPEG format) of your child/ren doing something that they are passionate about, or love doing. It could be of them doing a sport, cooking, caring for a sibling or anything else you can think of.

Please send your photos in by Wednesday 6 November to spr.administration@calvarycc.qld.edu.au

Stepping Up to the Next Stage

Stepping up to the next stage is a bit of a milestone for our students and it’s our intent to make this a smooth transition. On the morning of Wednesday 6 November all students will experience time in their 2025 Junior School stage, and meet a buddy who they can connect with when the new year begins.  Year 6 students will be assisting with these Step Up activities.

Our official Step Up morning, with new students to Calvary joining and Year 6 students travelling to Carbrook, is on Friday 22 November.

Debating

Wednesday evening was the final round of Junior School debating.  Teams from both Year 5 and Year 6 have represented Calvary with excellence.  All of our teams have competed with impressive results throughout the season, and have grown in their ability to structure a speech and deliver their arguments with confidence.

Debating allows our students to grow in their public speaking, resilience, critical thinking and collaboration. Recently, we published a blog post, all about the benefits of the debating program available to our students. Please see the Blog link in the image below.

Celebration 2024

Our Celebration event is drawing near. The student’s rehearsals are going so well, and we have costumes coming together. On Thursday 28 November, bring your camping chairs and picnic rugs down to the oval as we celebrate a fantastic 2024.
