Head of Junior School - Springwood, Michelle Sprenger

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

At Calvary, we are committed to nurturing a culture where every student is known, supported, and expected to reflect our shared values through their words and actions. We ask students to be mindful of this when they put on the Calvary uniform—wearing it with pride and upholding our virtues from the moment they arrive to the time they return home, and beyond. Speaking with kindness, showing respect, and lending a hand to others are daily ways we live out who we are. Thank you for partnering with us to reinforce our Calvary values.

 

We’re also excited for our much-anticipated Mothers’ Night event this Friday—a relaxed evening for families to connect over pizza and a movie. Make sure you RSVP!

Jnr Musical Matinee Performance

Next Thursday our Springwood Campus students will be traveling over to the Carbrook Campus to watch the Matinee Performance of The Jungle Book Jnr! 

 

Please see details in the letter HERE.

📢 Help Us Choose Our New House Mascots! ⚠️ 🎉

Hey Parents and Carers, it’s that time again... we need your students’ ideas! Our four houses: Flynn, King, Liddell, and Chisholm, are each getting their own official mascots. 

 

Click here to watch the video: CLICK HERE

 

This won’t replace the existing pillars as they define our house culture, but it’s a chance to add a bit more personality and spirit.

 

HERE'S HOW THEY CAN GET INVOLVED


🦁 1 - Select their house
🦅 2 - Suggest an animal that captures their house values
🐢 3 - Give it a name

 

Voting will be open for two weeks, and then we’ll reveal the winning mascots names and animals.

Thanks for encouraging your student to be part of this exciting chapter.

 

Stay tuned, The Calvary Team

Leadership Applications #2

Our second round of leadership applications for Stage 2 & 3 students are now open for students who have demonstrated service leadership and wish to apply.  All applications require endorsement from a teacher.

 

Applications will close at the end of Week 6, Friday 30 May. Students and parents/carers will be notified of the outcome early Week 8. Presentations will be made at our final assembly in Week 9.  

 

Please look out for the digital application form HERE.  Printed application forms will also be available from the Office. 

Revised Sports Dates

Due to the ongoing issues with access to the oval following Cyclone Alfred (and the follow-up wet weather), we have unfortunately had to delay our major carnivals this term.

As long as we have no more major rainfall, the following are our new dates:

  1. Junior School (3-6) ATHLETICS CARNIVAL – Monday 9 June (Week 8)
  2. Middle Senior School ATHLETICS CARNIVAL – Wednesday 11 June (Week 8)
  3. Year 1-12 CROSS COUNTRY CARNIVAL – Wednesday 23 July (Term 3, Week 2)

Thank you for your understanding.
