Dear Parents and Carers

After planning, preparing and upskilling prior to the school term beginning, we have been beyond thrilled to welcome all our students back this week.

Your children should have received their 2024 journal this week. We hope they can reflect on the fabulous year that 2024 was and look forward that all 2025 will bring.

Drop Off

We have supervised areas for students from 8am. They can go to western carpark hanger, pavilion area up to the mango cafe and the Gotfredsen area which is the area outside prep. Students have been reminded this week that they are expected to keep their school bag with them until 8.20am when they can drop their bag to their class (prep and stage 1) or neatly leave their bag where they line up (stage 2 and 3).

Parent Information Night

We warmly invite you to come along to our Carbrook Junior School information night on Thursday 6 February from 6.00pm in the CCC. Hear from some key staff members before branching out into your child’s classroom for a meet and greet with the Learning Designers in each Stage. Please bring along, or email us in advance, any questions you might have.

Uniform

At Calvary, we believe that taking pride in our presentation shows our commitment to excellence. Please be reminded of the expectations for College uniform. Over the coming weeks, we will have specific focus on “wearing our uniform with pride”. If we notice something that does not meet the expectation, we will let you know, thank you for partnering with us to ensure our students take pride in their uniform.

Uniform Shop Update

Uniform Carbrook Campus 

The uniform shop, which is located on the Carbrook campus, will be open on

Mondays and Wednesdays 7:45am–9:00am and 1:00pm–2:00pm and 2:30pm–4:00pm.

It will also be open fortnightly on Tuesdays 7:45am–9:00am (Weeks 3,5,7,9 this term).

Online Orders

Orders can be placed online any time. An email notification will be sent when your order is ready for collection. Collection is from the campus you nominate.

Exchange/return requests can be dropped to reception on either campus any time. Once the exchange has been processed an email notification will be sent.

Springwood: Orders will be delivered in a sealed bag with your child’s name and class on it to the child’s classroom.

Thank you for your support and patience as we navigate the glitches setting up this new service for our community.

Facebook Parent/Communication

Please see the letter attached with our facebook guidelines and the details for each stage facebook group. We use facebook as a tool to share insight into learning in the classroom, however this is not our primary point of communication.

We would love your help! If you would like to serve as a Stage parent please read the attached letter and submit your expression of interest.
