Dear Parents and Carers,

Our verse of the year, "Above all, love each other deeply" - 1 Peter 4:8, has served as a guide, reminding us of the power and importance of loving well in our daily lives.

Reflecting on 2024 fills me with gratitude and pride for the vibrant community we have nurtured at Calvary.  Whether in the classroom, on the playground, or during special events, I have witnessed countless acts of love, kindness and support among our students, teachers, and families. It’s beautiful to see our children embody this message in their interaction with others through their encouragement, and understanding to one another.

Stepping Up to the Next Stage

Tomorrow morning, those Year 6 students continuing into Year 7 at Calvary are attending an orientation day at our Carbrook Campus. Year 6 students are welcome to use the Intercampus bus and should be at the turning circle by 7.30am.  Parents of Year 7 students, 2025, have been invited to attend an important information session commencing at 3.40pm, at the Carbrook Campus.

All students, Prep – Year 5, as well as our new students attending Calvary in 2025, will be stepping up to their next Stage for the morning session. This session will be a chance for students to ask questions, make friends and feel comfortable in their 2025 stage environment. All information about 2025 classes and teachers will be emailed to parents in early January.

Just a reminder that 2025 booklists can be ordered online up until Wednesday 11 December. You can have your order delivered to your house, or opt to collect it from the Springwood Campus staffroom on Friday 17 January 2025.

Volunteers – THANK YOU!

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the incredible people in our community who volunteer their time, helping out in so many different ways. You are a blessing – both to staff and students. For all the seen and unseen, known and unknown ways that you serve and bless our school community – THANK YOU!

Celebration

At this point, the weather is looking great for our end of year Celebration event. 

Next Thursday, please send students to their classrooms by 5.30pm. Claim your space on the oval with your picnic rugs and camping chairs, and settle in for a fun and entertaining evening, commencing at 6.00pm.

Please keep in mind that if we cannot run our outdoor Celebration, due to weather, the occasion will still go ahead at the same time at Calvary Community Centre, Carbrook Campus,  559 Beenleigh-Redland Bay Road, Carbrook.  Further information will be sent in the event of a relocation.
