Co-curriculars
Please click here for more information
At Calvary, we are committed to educating the whole child, and one way we do this is through our Co-Curricular Program. We encourage all students to get involved by joining at least one co-curricular activity or club. If your child hasn’t signed up yet, we invite you to review the co-curricular timetable together and find an activity that sparks their interest. These opportunities help students grow, connect, and develop new skills beyond the classroom.
We look forward to seeing them thrive in their chosen activities!

Introduction from our Head of School, Dino Arraiol
Helping children navigate challenges is key to building resilience, a concept emphasized in the work of psychologist Judith Locke. She highlights that children grow stronger when they face age-appropriate difficulties rather than avoiding them. Encouraging participation in school events, trying new activities, and persevering through discomfort helps students develop confidence, independence, and problem-solving skills.
We were incredibly proud of the resilience our students demonstrated at camp, stepping outside their comfort zones and embracing new experiences. We want to continue fostering this growth by encouraging participation in further age-appropriate challenges and helping students develop the confidence to tackle life’s opportunities.
Upcoming Interhouse Events
At our school, we believe being part of a team is about more than just winning—it’s about showing up, supporting others, and embracing challenges with a positive attitude.
Our Swimming Carnival and Interhouse Cross Country are fantastic opportunities for students to get involved, whether through competitive races or fun mass-participation events.
To foster a strong House culture, all students are expected to take part in at least one event. We encourage parents to support this initiative by ensuring their child attends and participates. By stepping up, students build resilience, teamwork, and a sense of belonging in our Calvary Community.
