Dear Parents and Carers,
EKKA Week!
Whether you made it an Ekka show day or a rest day, I hope you’ve enjoyed the public holiday this week. If you happen to be at the Ekka over the coming days, be sure to visit Calvary’s Sheep Show Team. Each year staff, students, and a selection of Calvary’s finest farm animals camp at the Agricultural Pavilion and participate in the Grand Parade and Young Judges competitions. Congratulations to the team on the many ribbons and places you’ve received throughout the week!
Prep & Stage 1 Athletics Carnival
What fills my heart is the absolute determination of our little ones as they give their all to the task at hand. At the Prep and Stage 1 Athletics Carnival yesterday, this was the theme of the day. Every child running, throwing, and jumping with persistence and delight as they gave each activity their best effort. They were so encouraging of each other and the smiles on their faces were a clear sign of the fun they had. Thank you, Mr McInnes and Year 6 students, for leading the Carnival, and thank you parents for your support as well.
Father’s Night Community Event
Next Friday is Community night. In honour of our dads and father figures, we are hosting a night of fun and entertainment. Use the link in coms today to book your tickets. There will be loaded hot dogs, drinks and ice creams, as well as 2 enormous inflatable ninja warrior courses and a jumping castle for the little ones. Something for everyone to enjoy and a great way to kick off your upcoming Father’s Day.
Book Week
In celebration of Book Week next week, we have a lot of break time activities happening; Mystery Reader, Outdoor Library Garden, Scavenger Hunt and a Scategories competition.
Wednesday morning from 9.00am we will hold Assembly and the Book Character Parade at the church. Students can dress in the book character of their choice and bring their chosen book along to read after the parade. Parents, you are welcome to come along as always.
Exhibition Afternoon
On Tuesday 29 August we will be hosting our annual Exhibition Afternoon where parents are invited to come along and see displays of the students' work on the Term's topic. This year the students will be presenting their research on Social Justice.
The afternoon will commence at 2.00pm through to 3.30pm in the various Learning Areas.
Wear Your Matilda's Colours Tomorrow
The children have been right into the World Cup Soccer finals, very excited for the Matildas. They are still in with a chance to place 3rd when they play their final game on Saturday. In support, we thought it would be great to let the children wear a Matilda accessory tomorrow. Usual full sport uniform, with their Matilda scarf, shirt or green and gold accessory is the theme if children wish to join in.
Go the Matildas!

Head of Junior School - Springwood Campus
