Dear Parents and Carers,

Tonight is the final round of scheduled Parent/Teacher Interviews. I hope you’ve found the opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher encouraging. If you have missed an interview this week, just email your class teacher.

NAPLAN - Donut Stress

As well as giving each NAPLAN test their all, staff are so proud of and impressed by the level of resilience our Year 3 and 5 students have shown this week. Everything new and different can feel uncomfortable at first. The support of the teachers, parents and Mrs Stones’ Donut Stress about the Test program, is evident through the way our students have approached this week with a positive mindset.

Year 7 Tour

Whether Year 7 is just around the corner for your child or a few years away, it is good to be equipped with knowledge and a visual of how Middle School works. The next tour of Carbrook’s Middle and Senior school is being held on Wednesday 20 March, 5.30-7.00pm. Spend time with key staff who lead the College and co-curricular areas, while being shown around campus.

Year 6 Canberra Information Session

Just a reminder that the Canberra zoom information session for students and parents of Year 6 will be held on 19 March from 6pm. The access link has been emailed to all Year 6 parents, along with the camp booklet. Included in the email sent are instructions for a few important details we need from parents. Please provide this information by Thursday 21 March.

Stages 1-3 Cross Country - Parent Volunteers Needed

Next Wednesday is the Years 1-12 Cross Country. This is being held at the Carbrook campus. A letter has been sent home and is in this week’s communication with further details about the distances for age groups and the schedule.  Parents who are available to assist, please email Mr McInnes; tim.mcinnes@calvarycc.qld.edu.au

Please note there will be no Tuckshop available this day.

Staffing Update

Our Music Teacher, Miss Vicky Feilla, will be on leave for Term 2.  We’re happy to inform you that Mrs Kerryn Vezos will be extending her time with us in Vicky’s absence.

Tuckshop - Term 2 Volunteers Needed

The students have loved ordering Tuckshop at the new times this Term. We are grateful to our parent volunteers who come to prepare and deliver all the online orders.

Next Term, Tuckshop will again be selling a limited menu to students who bring money on Monday's, Wednesday's & Friday's at first break.  We are currently building a Term 2 roster for Parent Volunteers. If you have availability on Monday or Friday mornings 8:30-11:30am and/or Wednesday 10:00-11:00am, please use this link to sign up for  assistance. You can volunteer once, or as many times as you would like:

Happy Hens Birthday

Come a little earlier next Thursday morning and celebrate another happy year of Happy Hens with us! The Café will be open from 7:40am. Our usual menu is on offer and pancakes are selling for $1.

We hope to see everyone there.
