Deputy Principal of Junior School - Kim Winton
Dear Parents and Guardians
Welcome to Term 3!
This term, our Formation program and Junior School Assemblies will continue to strengthen students' social and emotional skills, equipping them to build healthy relationships and respond to challenges with resilience.
These skills are an important part of character formation which we know is shaped over time. As our children learn to show kindness, demonstrate self-control, consider the needs of others and persevere through difficulties, they reflect the character of Jesus. This lies at the heart of our commitment to growing the whole child.
As we partner with you in this, we want you to feel welcome to join our Assembly and Chapel services where we celebrate the beautiful ways our children are growing in their faith and Christ – like character.

Alpha Course - Carbrook Parents
Next term RLCC, will be hosting a series of Alpha Courses for our Calvary Community.
What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that explore life, faith and meaning. It is a chance to share thoughts and ideas on each session's topic and discuss them in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything, and there’s nothing you can’t say (seriously). It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
Parents and the wider college community are warmly invited to participate.
Details of the Carbrook Alpha Sessions
When: Thursday mornings from 8:45-10am (Commencing Week 2)
Where: JS Staff Room, Calvary Christian College
