Parent Session - Dr Judith Locke
Building Confident & Capable Kids
16 & 17 July
We are delighted to welcome Dr Judith Locke, clinical psychologist, parenting expert, and author of The Bonsai Child and Raising Anxiety, to speak with our parent community.
Dr Locke specialises in practical, research-backed strategies that help children become more confident, resilient, and independent. Drawing on her extensive experience with families and schools, Dr Locke will share insights into:
- Encouraging healthy independence in children
- Setting effective boundaries and routines
- Managing anxiety and building resilience
- Fostering motivation, responsibility, and problem-solving skills
- Practical advice about topics such as navigating homework and managing the busy morning routine.
Dr Locke’s advice is engaging and highly actionable—offering reassurance and tools for parents navigating the challenges of raising children in today’s world.
We invite all parents to attend these valuable sessions and learn how to support your children in becoming capable, adaptable, and confident young people.
Child minding will be available on both nights, with fun and supervised activities. On the first night, children can enjoy a Junior School disco and movie, while the second night will feature a relaxed movie session. Snacks and drinks will be provided each evening. Please use this Trybooking link to register yourself and your children.
The Junior School disco and pizza night held in the Calvary Community Centre (CCC) from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. The disco will run in conjunction with the Judith Locke Parent Session and will be coordinated by Creative Dance Company.
The Disco is only for students whose parents are attending the Judith Locke Session.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Congratulations to everyone involved in last Friday’s Junior Soiree. Students, you demonstrated dedication and courage. Thank you for sharing your musical gifts with the community.
Junior School reports will be available via the Parent Lounge (website or Calvary app) from Friday 20 June, and Parent-Teacher Interviews are scheduled for Week 2 of Term 3 (22 and 24 July) to discuss your child’s progress. You can book your interview time via Parent Lounge.
On behalf of Mrs Sprenger, the Junior School Team, and myself, thank you for a fantastic Term 2. We pray your holidays are filled with rest, relaxation, and special moments with loved ones.
Academic Reports & Term 3 Parent Teacher Interviews
Academic Reports will be available from 5.00pm Friday 20 June and Parent Teacher Interviews will happen during Week 2 of next term. Please see further information in the buttons above.
Book Drive Success – Thank You!
After the recent damage to Springwood campus, we were unable to access our library books—but thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, our travelling library has been up and running, and children have already been enjoying the joy of borrowing books once again! Across both campuses, over 2,500 books were donated through our Book Drive. Thank You! This means our students can continue to escape into the adventure of a good book throughout this term and into the holidays.
A special thank you to Sarah Cosgriff and Alison Stone for championing this initiative and making it all possible. If you’d like to help with book covering or library support over the holidays, please feel free to reach out to Sarah at Sarah.Cosgriff@calvarycc.qld.edu.au.
Thank you again for being such a generous and supportive community!

Update from Head of Performing Arts, Dr Gary Holley
Congratulations to all the music students who performed in the Soiree on Friday Evening. It was a tremendous night of music making and was great to see so many students performing. Congratulations also to Mr Gibson and the senior students for an outstanding performance of the 12 Angry Jurors on Monday evening. Both of these events were a great start to Arts Week at the College. Looking forward to seeing the students perform tomorrow in Calvary’s Got Talent and Battle of the Bands.
