A note from the Head of Student Wellbeing and Community Dino Arraiol

Last Day of Term

On the last day of term, we will celebrate "Exo Day," an event partly led by our students. This day serves as a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the excellence of life and recognize the uniqueness of each individual, created in the image of God.
Exo Day
Our Exo Day festivities will commence with a student-led Chapel session, setting a tone of unity and celebration. Following this, there will be an array of engaging games and activities for our students to enjoy. These include painting, sports activities, eating competitions, karaoke sessions, and much more. As part of the Exo Day celebrations, we have arranged for two food trucks (one savoury and one sweet) to sell their items to the students during first break. It is important that students have access to funds to purchase items from these food vendors to avoid disappointment.
RUOK Presentation
Our Counselling team, with our student connectors, is preparing a presentation in the form of a panel to discuss ways we can ensure that our personal mental health and the well-being of others are maintained. This topic is especially relevant to students heading into the holiday period and having the time to take care of themselves and those they cherish with some of the skills and techniques to be discussed. The session will also include some practical areas where students can relieve stress appropriately and in a way that best suits them.
Active Afternoon
To conclude the day on a high note, we have organised an Active Afternoon during which our students will have the opportunity to choose two activities from the following options: table tennis, chess, scavenger hunt, basketball, beach volleyball, a colorful run (complete with water points), and a lively Just Dance session.

General Notices

Free Dress Guidelines for the Last Day of Term

Please take note that students are encouraged to come dressed in Free Dress on the last day of term.

The free dress guidelines are attached for reference to avoid students being requested to change or be picked up from school.  We also kindly request that they bring gold coins for various fundraising activities that will be organised throughout the day.

Important Note about Colour Run Participation

All students participating in the Calvary Colour Run should ensure they wear a plain white T-shirt. The colour powder used is non-staining but we would like to avoid unnecessary laundry expenses related to school uniforms or expensive clothing for parents. We also strongly recommend that students come prepared with sunglasses or goggles, as well as a bandana to cover their mouths and noses during the colour zones for added protection.
When not participating in the Calvary Colour Run our students will have the opportunity to participate in various outdoor activities as we end the term enjoying some much deserved fun.

Reggie Dabs Presentation

On Wednesday afternoon, we were fortunate to welcome Reggie Dabs to Calvary, where he addressed our staff and students from Stage 2 - 12. Reggie Dabs, an American Pastor and motivational speaker entertained our staff and students as he brought his message of hope and love. Reggie left our students with a challenge to be kind to 10 ppl for 10 days to help spread hope and love among our Calvary Community and be agents for positive change. Please take the time to chat with your child (who are in Stages 2 - 12) about this challenge and maybe take the challenge up as a family. Modelling kindness and sharing hope and love is a powerful way to shape the character of our youth, when they are bombarded with a very different message online in our society.

Chinchilla Trip

Next week, our Year 9 students, along with several dedicated staff members, will embark on an enriching journey to Chinchilla for a service trip. Our collective hope and prayer is for their safe return, accompanied by the profound joy that comes from selfless service to others.

They will donate the hygiene products from the supportive Calvary Community to Farm Angels and provide some much-needed assistance to farmers, communities and organisations in the area. This year our fundraising from the Bush Dance, Quiz and other Show Team related events, totals just over $10 000.00 which will be used to support farming communities experiencing hardship over the Christmas season.

We wanted to thank our community for supporting us in these initiatives to support Farm Angels!
