Term 2 Clubs
Co-curricular Clubs
At Calvary, we are committed to educating the whole child, and one way we do this is through our Co-Curricular Program. We encourage all students to get involved by joining at least one co-curricular activity or club. If your child hasn’t signed up yet, we invite you to review the co-curricular timetable together and find an activity that sparks their interest. These opportunities help students grow, connect, and develop new skills beyond the classroom.
We look forward to seeing them thrive in their chosen activities!

Dear Parents and Carers,
As we now have settled into Term 2, I am sure you are all noticing that the days are getting a little shorter and the weather a little cooler, particularly in the mornings. This term uniform is something that we would like to see as an area of focus, as we are aware that setting a high expectation in this area sets the tone for high expectations across the board for our schooling.
I am excited to let you know that we have received shipment of black soft-shell jackets, please look at the uniform tab in this communication for further details.
In Assembly last week, some of the Year 6 leaders helped me to explain our expectations for hair. Students were reminded that hair that touches a collar must be worn tied up neatly with school colour, or natural coloured hair ties. We also looked at some of the trendy haircuts that do not align with our expectations. Students are asked to avoid mullet, rat tail or horsey hair cuts or any hair style that prevents a hat to be worn properly.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure your children have hair styles and accessories that fit within our expectations.
🏐 History made at AVSC!
Our latest Inspire Short takes you behind the scenes of Calvary’s first-ever appearance at the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup, and what a debut it was!
Our Year 9 & 10 girls team finished 5th out of 17 teams, after training all through Term 4 and giving up a week of their holidays to compete.
Led by student coach Payton (Yr12) and captain Joan (Yr10), this group of Year 9 and 10 girls came together, lifted each other, and played their hearts out.
