Head of Junior School, Carbrook - Zoe O'Donnell

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Term 4 is always a special time in Junior School, filled with opportunities for thanksgiving, reflection and celebration as we recognise the growth, achievements and experiences of our students throughout the year.

We began this focus at last week's assembly, where some of our Stage 3 students helped us unpack our 2026 College Bible verses, Romans 5:3–4. They reminded us that while challenges are not always easy, they provide opportunities to develop perseverance, build character and grow in hope. As we approach the end of the year, it is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on just how much our students have grown, not only in their learning, but also in their confidence, relationships and willingness to embrace challenges.

We encourage families to take some time to look through what is coming up and make note of the key dates, so that everyone can be part of these special moments as we celebrate another wonderful year together.

We look forward to sharing this final term with you and taking the time to acknowledge all that our students have achieved.

2026 – Growing Through Perseverance Photo Challenge

At Calvary, we encourage every student to live out our College expectations: Be Kind, Be Fair and Be Your Best Self. This year, we have been guided by Romans 5:3–4, which reminds us that “suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.”

Throughout the year, we have encouraged our Junior School students to recognise that growth often comes through challenges, trying new things and having the courage to keep going when something feels difficult.

We know our students demonstrate perseverance in many ways, both at school and beyond the classroom. Whether it's learning to ride a bike, mastering a new skill, overcoming a fear or working towards a goal, every challenge provides an opportunity to grow.

To celebrate this, our upcoming Awards Assembly will feature our “Growing Through Perseverance Photo Challenge.” We would love a photo of every child in our Junior School community doing something that has challenged them, required determination or helped them develop perseverance. It doesn't need to be a big achievement; sometimes the smallest steps represent the greatest growth.

Please upload your child's photo to the Drop Box Carbrook by 30 October.

Please use your child's first and last name when uploading your photo.

We look forward to celebrating the many ways our students have grown in perseverance, character and hope throughout 2026.
