Dear Parents and Carers

The cooler weather has certainly hit us this week. It has been lovely to see the students finding opportunities to take learning outside as they have enjoyed the warmth the sunshine is bringing.

Under 8s Day

Each year, under 8s day is a highlight for our young students, their families and the student leaders and this year did not disappoint. Huge thank you to our community who showed up last Friday to help support our young learners and celebrate the fun of hands on learning. A highlight for me, was being able to see our student leaders actively serving in various areas, demonstrating learning habits of communication, collaboration and attention to detail.

Semester Reports

Junior School reports will be accessible via the Parent Lounge through the website or Calvary app, on Friday 14 June. Parent teacher Interviews are scheduled for the second week of Term 3, (16 and 18 July). Information about Parent Teacher Interviews will be distributed next week.

Information explaining the structure of Junior School reports can be found in the links below.

Jnr Showcase

Tomorrow evening the talent of Calvary Performing Arts, Junior School students will be on display at this years’ Junior Showcase. Our Performing Arts program is growing, with many students involved in our choirs, ensembles and individual instrumental tuition. This Friday from 6pm, all of this will be showcased for the community to enjoy. Please arrive early if you’d like a snack from mango Café. Performances will be scheduled throughout the evening at the Cunningham Pavilion and Performing Arts Centre.

Tickets are FREE but registration is required to ensure adequate seating.  Register Here

Please see information in the CPA section of this communication regarding the Evening.

Expo is Coming…

Across the Junior School this term, we have been learning through the concept of Change. On Wednesday 12 June, we would like to invite all families and special friends to come into the classrooms to see our students showcase their learning and stretch in this area. Classrooms will be open from 2pm and close at 4pm. Students will be presenting their learning from 2pm until the end of the school day and are welcome to return with their families and special friends and show them their learning at the end of school until 4pm. Families are also welcome to wander the classrooms and see how the concept has been explored in different stages.

Free Dress Day/ Compassion Fundraiser!

Next Friday, all our students are invited to wear their Pjs, an Oodie, or just plain clothes for free dress day. We ask all students to bring a gold coin donation as we continue to support our compassion students. Every donation counts!

Don’t forget free dress day expectations apply.

Supporting the Chinchilla Community

We would like to join with the Middle Senior School in collecting donations for Chinchilla.

Chinchilla Donations:

The Year 9 students are travelling to Chinchilla during the last week of school in Term 3 to serve the Chinchilla community and present our Hygiene Product collections to Drought Angels. Drought Angels will use these donations to create care packages for farmers who are hard at work producing food for us and may not have the time or resources to care for themselves. Year 9 students will visit Form classes regularly to collect the donations that will "Help us Help the Farmers that Feed Us". We ask that all Hygiene products (as listed below) be sent to school and High School students will collect these each morning starting from Monday 20 May 2024:

•  Manicure set – nail files, nail clippers, polish, cuticle oil.
•  Pedicure set – foot file, toenail clippers, foot scrub, foot cream.
