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.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Term 4!
A special welcome to the new students and families joining our Calvary community this term—we are so glad to have you with us. We also warmly welcome our new Head of School, Mr Andy Marshall, who is excited to work alongside staff, students, and families as he leads and supports our Springwood community.
Term 4 is always an exciting and busy time in the Junior School. We look forward to celebrating our students’ learning and achievements through several key events, including the Awards Assembly, Celebration, Performing Arts and Sports Awards, and of course, our final Christmas Chapel. It is fitting that our theme for this year’s Celebration is PRAISE, as these occasions give us wonderful opportunities to come together as a community to praise God and acknowledge the growth and accomplishments of our students.
We are excited for the term ahead, working in partnership with you to make Term 4 a memorable and strong finish to the year.
Prep & Stage 1 Swimming Lessons & Carnival
Our Prep and Stage 1 Swimming Lessons are underway. Stages 1F&G have their last lesson tomorrow, Friday, and Prep & Stage 1E lessons commence Monday through to Friday.
