Co-curriculars

Please click here for more information

At Calvary, we are committed to educating the whole child, and one way we do this is through our Co-Curricular Program. We encourage all students to get involved by joining at least one co-curricular activity or club. If your child hasn’t signed up yet, we invite you to review the co-curricular timetable together and find an activity that sparks their interest. These opportunities help students grow, connect, and develop new skills beyond the classroom.

 

We look forward to seeing them thrive in their chosen activities!

Uniform Update

20 March

Click for More Info

A shipment of new Calvary black jackets has been delayed and is due to arrive at the end of April with further deliveries during Term 2. Below are options to ensure students stay warm in the cooler weather.

If you have not had the chance to purchase the Calvary black jacket, please refer to these options while we await shipment. 

 

All students:  Calvary black jacket to be worn with either sport or formal uniform. While new stock arrives, students who do not have a Calvary black jacket may wear the Calvary purple jumper or a plain black jumper (no logos, print or hoodie) with the formal uniform. 

The Calvary green sports jacket may only be worn with the sports uniform.

 

Should this be a problem for you, please contact your Head of School to seek a solution to this temporary situation.

Head of School, Dino Arraiol

In today's digital world, students are constantly connected—and often comparing themselves to others online. Last week, students viewed "The Comparison Trap" by Sarah McCutcheon, which highlighted how social media can impact self-worth. They were encouraged to consider whether their comparisons make them feel better or worse—often, these are the only two outcomes. With the Easter holidays approaching and screen time likely to increase, now is a great time to discuss healthy digital habits. Encourage your child to take regular screen breaks, enjoy outdoor activities, pursue non-screen hobbies, and connect with friends face-to-face where possible.

 

Qustodio Parent App

We are still encouraging guardians and parents to sign up for the Qustodio app using their email addresses registered with the College. In doing so guardians and parents will be able to better control and guide their children's screen time on the College laptop and a personal device per student registered at the College.

🔗 Sign up now for an account using following link: Qustodio Registrations 

🔗 Access installation guides by following this link: Help Guides

Qustodio helps ensure safe and balanced screen time for students. Thank you for partnering with us in promoting responsible technology use!

Chisholm House Celebration

Congratulations to Chisholm House, who have earned the privilege of wearing their sport uniform for the entire last week of school! This reward recognises their outstanding participation at the recent swimming carnival, where they had the highest level of involvement among all houses. Their enthusiastic turnout didn’t just boost team spirit—it also helped secure their win by just 2 points! It’s a fantastic reminder of how participation and teamwork can make all the difference. Well done, Chisholm!

Drop Off Reminders

Parents are not to park in bays reserved for Kingdom Kids parents. The Kingdom Kids parking bays are located directly outside Kingdom Kids.

Parking options for drop off and pick up are quick drop off/pick up (lane that runs adjacent to Calvary Community Centre building) and the Western carpark.
