Dear Parents and Carers,
There have been many highlights this term. The students have shone in sporting arenas, co-curricular competitions, performing arts and in their learning. We have seen and felt the support of the community that surrounds them, particularly at the Discovery Expo earlier this week. Thank you!
Showcase
Showcase last weekend was an incredible display of individual instrumental performances, ensembles, and dance performances. Calvary’s Performing Arts program has a lot to offer. If your child is interested in learning an instrument or taking part in a band or ensemble, there are options available by using this link; Performing Arts Info & Enrolment
Tuckshop Term 4
