Parent Session - Dr Judith Locke
Building Confident & Capable Kids
Wednesday 16 July
We are delighted to welcome Dr Judith Locke, clinical psychologist, parenting expert, and author of The Bonsai Child and Raising Anxiety, to speak with our parent community.
Dr Locke specialises in practical, research-backed strategies that help children become more confident, resilient, and independent. Drawing on her extensive experience with families and schools, Dr Locke will share insights into:
- Encouraging healthy independence in children
- Setting effective boundaries and routines
- Managing anxiety and building resilience
- Fostering motivation, responsibility, and problem-solving skills
- Practical advice about topics such as navigating homework and managing the busy morning routine.
Dr Locke’s advice is engaging and highly actionable—offering reassurance and tools for parents navigating the challenges of raising children in today’s world.
We invite all parents to attend these valuable sessions and learn how to support your children in becoming capable, adaptable, and confident young people.
Child minding will be available on both nights, with fun and supervised activities. On the first night, children can enjoy a Junior School disco and movie, while the second night will feature a relaxed movie session. Snacks and drinks will be provided each evening. Please use this Trybooking link to register yourself and your children.
The Junior School disco and pizza night will be held in the Calvary Community Centre (CCC) from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. The disco will run in conjunction with the Judith Locke Parent Session and will be coordinated by Creative Dance Company.
The Disco is only for students whose parents are attending the Judith Locke Session.
Registrations made before the end of term will go into the draw for a door prize, which will be announced at the disco!

Dear Parents and Carers,
Today, we celebrated our final group of College Leaders. Their service and support, especially with our younger students, enriches the caring and vibrant culture at our college. Congratulations also to everyone involved in last Friday’s Junior Soiree. Students, you demonstrated dedication and courage. Thank you for sharing your musical gifts with the community.
Junior School reports will be available via the Parent Lounge (website or Calvary app) from Friday 20 June, and Parent-Teacher Interviews are scheduled for Week 2 of Term 3 (22 and 24 July) to discuss your child’s progress. You can book your interview time via Parent Lounge.
On behalf of Mrs O’Donnell, the Junior School Team, and myself, thank you for a fantastic Term 2. We pray your holidays are filled with rest, relaxation, and special moments with loved ones.

Congratulations to all the music students who performed in the Soiree on Friday Evening. It was a tremendous night of music making and was great to see so many students performing.
