A shipment of new Calvary black jackets has been delayed and is due to arrive at the end of April with further deliveries during Term 2. Below are options to ensure students stay warm in the cooler weather.

If you have not had the chance to purchase the Calvary black jacket, please refer to these options while we await shipment. 

 

All students:  Calvary black jacket to be worn with either sport or formal uniform. While new stock arrives, students who do not have a Calvary black jacket may wear the Calvary purple jumper or a plain black jumper (no logos, print or hoodie) with the formal uniform. 

The Calvary green sports jacket may only be worn with the sports uniform.

Deputy Principal - Junior School, Kim Winton

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Congratulations to everyone on an outstanding Term 1! This term has been filled with the usual excitement of the new year, including a cyclone, and we are incredibly proud of how the students have grown in adaptability and resilience over the past ten weeks. I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your continued support. I’m sure everyone is ready to embrace the slower pace of the upcoming holiday break. 

Our Easter Chapel service was truly special, and I’m grateful to all who were able to attend. The Easter story serves as a powerful reminder of the significance of our faith. A big thank you to Pastor Jayden, and the Year 6 students for sharing this message with us. 

If you’re looking for a place to celebrate Easter, Real Life Christian Church will be holding services throughout the Easter weekend.  Please see details of the Easter Services at RLCC via this LINK.

 

On behalf of myself and the entire Junior School team, we wish all our families a safe and restful Easter break.
