Dear Parents and Carers 

Yesterday our students received a presentation from Safe on Social to help them to make wise choices with regards to their media usage, gaming and protecting themselves online. Students and staff learned some important facts and legalities about the use of apps and group chats that were based on recent Australian and international case studies. Below are some helpful resources, from the company Safe on Social to facilitate open and productive conversations with your children about their online activities. I would strongly encourage you to engage with these resources and to think carefully about how technology is used at your home.

An Evening with the Principal

Tonight the Carbrook campus is hosting an Evening with the Principal. Parents, this is a great opportunity to hear about the future plans and vision for Calvary from our Principal and CEO, Mrs Cherylynne Gostelow. 

Bush Dance

Tomorrow evening the College is hosting a bush dance from 6:30pm – 8:00pm. Proceeds of this event will be going towards our Year 9 service trip to Chinchilla and more specifically Drought Angels. We are very fortunate to have the very experienced and enthusiastic Beefa's Bush Band performing and hosting this event for us. Please note that there will be food and drinks on sale and a photo booth on the night to take some memorable pictures of friends and family. 

Science Week

Students get ready for a week of science fun at Calvary's Science Week! We've got house trivia, a scavenger hunt, and a Lego masters challenge all wrapped up with an awesome Whole College science fair on the 18th August 2023. There will be exciting activities that include learning, teamwork, and creativity. Let's make this Science Week unforgettable!  

Father's Day Movie Night

On Friday the 25th of August the College is hosting an Outdoor Movie Night we are inviting families to join us to view the original Toy Story film. All proceeds from the evening will go towards supporting our Children of Compassion that each year level sponsors. On the night we will have food and drinks for purchase and there will be fun and games for the whole family to enjoy before the movie begins. Although this event is titled as a Father's Day event we encourage the whole family to attend and enjoy the evening with us. Please remember to bring your own picnic blanket or chairs to enjoy the movie with us.

Calvary's Got Talent

At the end of term, we want to see what talent Calvary has to offer! Mr Gibson is looking for entries into Calvary's got talent which will be taking place on the 15 September 2023 on the last day of Term 3. If you can sing, dance, perform magic, or have another skill that can entertain while being suitable for children to watch, you can enter! Please send an email to Mr Gibson for the details of the Flipgrid entry by Friday the 1st of September 2023 to enter. If any Y9 students want to enter they can submit a video entry as they will be travelling back from Chinchilla at this time.  

The best part is that there are cash prizes up for grabs!
