Dear Parents and Carers
Stepping Up to the next Stage
Tomorrow morning, those Year 6 students continuing into Year 7 at Calvary are attending their final transition day.
All students, Prep – Year 5, as well as our new students attending Calvary in 2025, will be stepping up to their next Stage for the morning session. This session will be a chance for students to ask questions, make friends and feel comfortable in their 2025 stage environment. As usual, all information about 2025 classes and teachers will be emailed to parents in early January.
From 3:40pm, 2025 Year 7 parents have been invited to attend an important information session.
