Award Service Montage
Student Photo Montage
At Calvary, we encourage every student to live out our College expectations: be kind, be fair, and be your best self. In Junior School, being your best self can look different for every child—trying your hardest in class, encouraging a friend on the playground, showing courage in swimming lessons, or using your talents in music or sport.
To celebrate this, our upcoming Awards Assembly will feature the “Living Micah 6:8 Photo Challenge.” This will give us the opportunity to acknowledge all the wonderful ways our children are growing in kindness, fairness, and faith.
If you would like your child to be included, please share a photo of them “Living Micah 6:8” in the link below.
Springwood: Submit Files - Dropbox
Please use your child's first and last names when adding your photo.
We look forward to celebrating together how God is shaping each of our students to shine brightly in all areas of their lives.

Head of Community & Welfare, Junior School - Michelle Sprenger
Dear Parents and Carers,
As this term closes and I write my final communication, I want to take this moment to thank you for the journey we have shared. It has been an eventful year, yet what has stood out most is the strength of our community.
Your partnership, together with the expertise of our passionate staff, has created a community where every child is known and supported to grow in confidence and character. We have aligned in a common purpose to nurture resilience and empower our precious children to live their God-ordained fullest life.
With a full heart, I step aside deeply thankful for the privilege of walking alongside you and your children, trusting God to continue guiding and blessing Calvary’s future.
With heartfelt thanks and every blessing,
Michelle Sprenger
