Head of Junior School, Carbrook - Zoe O'Donnell

Dear Parents/Guardians,

 

This week, we enjoyed a special Chapel led by our Year 6 students as they presented their final Junior School Chapel. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on their journey through Junior School and celebrate the growth, friendships and experiences that have shaped them along the way.

While this marks the end of an important chapter, it is certainly not the end of their Calvary journey. As our Year 6 students prepare to transition into Middle School, they will continue to grow in their learning, faith and character, embracing new opportunities and challenges.

Important Reminder – Before School Supervision

As we approach the end of the year, we would like to remind families that student safety remains our highest priority. Please be aware that there is no staff supervision available before 8:00 am.

Students arriving before this time must remain in the care of a parent or guardian, be booked into Outside School Hours Care (OSHC), or wait until 8:00 am before arriving on campus. We appreciate your support in ensuring all students are safe and appropriately supervised each morning.

Celebrations/Costume Letter Details

Our 2026 Junior School Celebration Services will be held on Monday 30 November, beginning with Prep and Stage 1 at 5:00pm, followed by Stage 2 and Stage 3 at 6:30pm. A BBQ will be available between the two celebrations.

Please use the link below to book your family’s seating and order a sausage in bread for each family member who would like one.

Due to the seating capacity of the Calvary Community Centre (CCC), seating will be allocated, with four seats available per family. We encourage you to book your seats and place your BBQ order using the link below.

Real Life Youth

Our Year 6 students are warmly invited to attend Real Life Youth this term at our Carbrook campus.  Youth meets every Friday night during the school term from 7–9 pm.  A typical night includes games, food, fun, and opportunities to connect with leaders and friends. Attendance is free, although food may be available to purchase. Year 6 students attending their first Youth night at Carbrook will also receive a special welcome gift!

 

Our Friday nights generally include three types of gatherings:

  • Social Nights: Fun activities and events that build friendships and community. Friends are always welcome!

  • Life Group Nights: Small-group activities and conversations that help young people build friendships and connect with leaders.

  • Unified Nights: Worship, a message, games and Life Groups, providing opportunities to learn about Jesus and explore the Bible together.

The Real Life Youth Team would love to see you there!
