Mr Josh Wilson - Deputy Principal – Middle and Senior School

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to Term 4!

We are looking forward to a busy term with lots of exciting events and milestones for our students. As usual, we started the term with meeting together as a Middle and Senior School sector to discuss who we wanted to be as a community and our expectations for one another.

If you are unaware of our P-12 school expectations, they are version of Micah 6:8

Act Justly (be fair)

Love Mercy (be kind)

Walk Humbly (be my best self)

We spoke about what these expectations could look like in practice and how when we commit to actions that accompany these expectations, it benefits our whole community. I would encourage to consider how your family unit could benefit if everyone strives and reflects on what it means to be fair, be kind, and be your best self. Here are some of the ideas we shared with the students on Monday:

What does it mean ‘to be fair?’

• Taking turns (wait your turn…)
• Treat others as you want them to treat you (Luke 6:31).
• Listen to both sides (let people explain themselves before making a decision about who is right/wrong).
• Apply the rules consistently (they apply to you too).
• Fairness relies on truthfulness to work – be truthful.
• Fairness assumes good intent (i.e. assume it was an accident/mistake before assuming the person meant harm to you).
• Fairness is not ‘equality’ - it is equity - people get what they need.

What does it mean ‘to be kind?’

• Say hello to people and acknowledge them.
• Give a genuine compliment to people when they do something well…’you are really good at X’
• Help someone (e.g. the teacher or your parents) without being asked.
• Include someone who looks lonely or is alone.
• Give people your whole attention when listening to them.
• Offer to help someone in class if you finish early.
• Don’t hold grudges - try to forgive people.
• Tell your family that you love them.
• Be thankful! Thank people who do things for you.
• Thank your parents for the different things they do for you.
• Thank your teachers for the lesson they prepared, for when they help you, etc.
• Thank your peers when they help you, do something with you, etc.

What does it mean ‘to be my best self?’

• Have an accurate understanding of who you are, what you do well and what you don’t do well. Know your strengths and weaknesses.
• Have a desire/expectation to bring the best and most ideal version of yourself to all that you do!
• What would the best version of me look like in the classroom, at home, at work, with my friends, when seeing someone in need?

As a final comment on ‘being our best selves’ or ‘walk humbly’, the full version of Micah 6:8 states ‘walk humbly with your God’. As a Christian school we are convinced that God made us to walk with Him and to enjoy Him forever. When we know who we are and Whose we are (we are God’s creation) we are released to taste life, the way God intended and have it to the full (John 10:10).

Term 4 Co-curricular Timetable

At Calvary, we value developing the whole child and encourage students to explore opportunities beyond the classroom. We invite students to review the Term 4 Co-curricular Timetable and consider joining an activity that interests them, where they can develop new skills, build confidence and connect with like-minded peers.
