Dear Parents/Guardians,

Making the Most of the Final Six Weeks

During Assembly this week, Mr Wilson shared the startling realisation that there are only six weeks remaining in the school year! While this is an exciting thought for many students, it also serves as a timely reminder of how much learning and assessment still needs to take place before the year concludes.

Mr Wilson encouraged students to recognise that, although six weeks remain, the busiest assessment period will likely arrive in just four to four and a half weeks. This presents a valuable opportunity for students to take initiative now by getting organised, asking teachers which topics will be assessed, and beginning regular revision at home. A little preparation each week can make a significant difference compared to leaving everything until the night before an assessment.

Beyond improving academic outcomes, developing these habits can help reduce stress and build confidence during what is often a demanding time of year. By being proactive now, we can help our students finish the year well and continue to be their best selves, even when the pressures of the final weeks begin to build.

Year 12 Exams

As many of our Year 12 students begin their external examinations on Monday, 26 October, we acknowledge the hard work and dedication that have brought them to this important milestone. We encourage our College community to keep these students in their thoughts and prayers over the coming weeks as they complete their final assessments and prepare to conclude their schooling journey.

Real Life Youth

Hi Families, 

We’d love to welcome all of our Year 6's along to Real Life Youth for the rest of this term. It’s a great time for them to come along, meet some new people, have fun and begin getting connected with our Youth community.

Our regular Youth nights are held on Friday evenings from 7:00–9:00pm at Calvary Christian College, Carbrook.

A typical night involves games, hanging out together, connecting with leaders and plenty of food and fun. There is no cost to attend Youth, although there may be a small cost if your young person would like to purchase dinner or food on the night. As a little welcome to Youth, when your Year 6 joins us for their first night at our Carbrook campus, they’ll also receive a free welcome gift from our team. We’d love for them to have something to look forward to as they get connected with us! 

Throughout the term, our Friday nights generally fall into three different types: 

Social Nights - 

These are focused on having fun and building community. They might include a big game, an off-site activity or another special event. These are also great nights to invite friends along, including friends who might not normally attend church or consider themselves Christians. 

Life Group Nights -

These nights are about building deeper connections with people around the same age. Youth spend time in smaller groups, doing activities, talking, hanging out and building friendships with one another and their leaders. 

Unified Nights -

These are our main church-style Youth nights, with worship, a message, games and Life Group time. We give our youth an opportunity to learn about Jesus, engage with the Bible and then unpack what they've heard together in their Life Groups.

You’re very welcome to send your Year 6 along for any of our Youth nights this term. If you have any questions about Youth, what they should bring or how the nights work, please feel free to reach out to Josh Prevett at josh.prevett@rlcc.com.au
