Head of Community & Wellbeing, Springwood Junior School - Andy Marshall

With just two weeks remaining in the school term, we encourage all students to continue upholding our school expectations with pride. This includes arriving on time each day, wearing the correct uniform, and maintaining positive attitudes in all areas of school life. Finishing well is just as important as starting strong. As we reflect on John 1:5, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it,” we are reminded that even in busy or tiring times, we are called to be a light through our actions, choices, and the way we represent our school community each day. 

 

We are thankful for the understanding and support of our community this week as we navigated the rescheduling of our Cross Country event. While changes like this can be disappointing, they provide a valuable opportunity for our students to develop adaptability and resilience, qualities we highly value at Calvary Christian College.

CAPA Update

Introducing the Double Bass!

Has your child every considered learning the Double Bass?

 

At Calvary, we have a lonely Double Bass who is looking for someone to love! Lessons are a part of our Strings Program, where students have a group lesson, instrument hire, ensemble membership and books all included ($300 for the year).  However, the Double Bass is a special friend – we’d love to see someone loving this instrument for as long as they’re at Calvary! If your child has ever considered having an instrument friend as big as they are – please contact Kerryn.vezos@calvarycc.qld.edu.au to organize a ‘play’ date!

 

Calvary Orchestra

What’s an Orchestra? When the powers of Woodwind, Brass, Percussion and Strings combine!

 

We have over 30 students currently involved in the Orchestra – from Grades 3 – 11.  These students work hard individually and have auditioned to play in our largest music group. We are playing several different pieces that are fun to learn – it’s not ‘Mission Impossible’ after all!

 

We will be sharing performances at Carbrook Junior School Assembly in Week 9 and will perform at MSS and Springwood Assemblies in Term Two. 

 

If your child has an instrument they play and would like to be in Orchestra – please let Kerryn.vezos@calvarycc.qld.edu.au know – we love to welcome new players to join us. Rehearsals are Thursday afternoons at Carbrook Campus.
