A Communication from Mr Arraiol (Head of Wellbeing and Community)

Dear Parents and Carers

Tomorrow our Year 10 students will be hosting an outdoor Movie Night for the Calvary Community. This special event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Father's Day, Sunday 1 September, or simply come and enjoy some quality time with your family.
The movie being screened is 'IF', a heartwarming and inspirational film suitable for all ages. In addition to the movie, our Year 10 students will be hosting a variety of games starting at 5:15 PM to entertain children while they wait for the movie to begin. Food, snacks, and drinks will be available for purchase on the night, with all proceeds going towards our Children of Compassion initiative.
For further details and a QR code that can be scanned, please view the attached poster or use the following link to purchase your tickets: https://www.trybooking.com/CSQLE

Critical Consumerism

As we gear up for next week’s cyber safety discussions, we wanted to share insights from speaker Glen Gerryn, who will address our students in 2025 on the topic of critical consumerism. This timely subject aligns closely with our ongoing efforts to promote student safety and foster critical thinking in their online interactions.
Glen Gerryn highlights the pervasive influence of social media and new shopping platforms like Temu, where trends shift rapidly and consumerism is often portrayed as limitless joy through constant acquisitions. This environment can lead young people into a cycle of impulse buying, where the allure of new products eclipses thoughtful consideration of their value and necessity.
To counter these pressures, Gerryn encourages conversations that encourage teenagers to reflect on their purchasing habits. The attached infographic provides key talking points for parents to engage their children in meaningful discussions about mindful consumerism. By nurturing a balanced perspective, we aim to empower our students to make informed choices online and in life.
