Chinchilla Donations:

The Year 9 students are travelling to Chinchilla during the last week of school in Term 3 to serve the Chinchilla community and present our Hygiene Product collections to Drought Angels. Drought Angels will use these donations to create care packages for farmers who are hard at work producing food for us and may not have the time or resources to care for themselves. Year 9 students will visit Form classes regularly to collect the donations that will "Help us Help the Farmers that Feed Us". We ask that all Hygiene products (as listed below) be sent to school and High School students will collect these each morning starting from Monday 20 May 2024:

•  Manicure set – nail files, nail clippers, polish, cuticle oil.

Middle and Senior School Athletics Carnival

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Thursday 6 June (Week 8), the Middle and Senior School Athletics Carnival will be held at Calvary Christian College. This day will involve all students from the Middle and Senior Schools. The program of events is on a separate attachment, and more information will be emailed to all students in the school.

Students are expected to wear their House-Based Sports uniform to and from school on this day. Upon arrival at school, students may further accessorise their uniform to support their House. House colours may be displayed or worn as ribbons, hair ties, face paint and coloured zinc cream.

Parents and friends are most welcome to attend the carnival – please sign in at the Main Reception upon arrival.

The College tuckshop will NOT be accessible to students during the day. However, student pre-orders will still be accepted and delivered to the oval twice across the day at similar times to the 1st and 2nd Breaks. Student orders will need to be submitted before 9 a.m. on the day of the carnival.

In the event of wet weather, the carnival will be postponed and students will attend normal lessons for the day. If rain is forecast, families should regularly check the College MSS Facebook page for confirmation of postponement and be prepared to attend normal classes.

For any further queries, please contact me on 3287 6222 or at sport@calvarycc.qld.edu.au.

Yours in sport,
Mr. Chris Paech
Head of Sport (P-12)

General Notices

Health Hub Notice

You may be aware that there has been an increase in different viruses going around in our community. To safeguard our students as much as possible, if your child is unwell with viral symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, fever, rash, cough) please consider keeping them home until symptoms are no longer present. Please note if your child presents to the Health Hub unwell with viral symptoms and/or with a temperature of 37.5 or above you will be contacted to collect your child. Please continue to remind your child to wash their hands and cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough.

Any further questions or queries please feel free to contact the Health Hub 3287 6222. Please refer to the QLD Timeout Poster for more information.

School Locker stores will re-open on Friday 24 May

Following some significant stock losses, not all sizes of all garments will be available. Stock has been re-ordered and School Locker expects to be fully stocked by the end of June.

For the rest of this term, please send your children to school in any Calvary uniform garment you have that is in good repair. This will mean there may be days your child wears a formal jacket with a sports uniform or vice versa.

We ask that students wear their uniforms neatly and continue to respect shoe, jewellery, hair and makeup requirements.

Thank you for your patience through this challenging time for School Locker.

Cafe Specials - Week 7 Term 2

Hot Choc Fundraiser

Our student-led Compassion Project Team will be selling Hot Chocolates for $2.50 on Friday next week during first break in the Cunningham to raise funds for the Children of Compassion for each stage. A pre-order form has been emailed to students by Mr Arraiol to allow them to secure their Hot Chocolates as only a limited amount of additional Hot Chocolate beverages will be made for those who do not pre-order.

Calvary's Got Talent & Battle of the Bands

The Middle and Senior School students have been invited to participate in two exciting competitions, Calvary's Got Talent and the annual Battle of the Bands, on the last day of this term. Mr Arraiol has provided a link for students to sign up for the Calvary's Got Talent competition as solo or group acts, while Dr Holley has provided students with a link to enter the Battle of the Bands competition. If students can sing, dance, play a musical instrument, act, or perform a dramatic piece appropriate for this competition, please encourage them to enter before the end of School tomorrow.
