Updates to Parent Manual for 2026

As we prepare for the 2026 school year, we would like to draw the attention of parents and students to an important update in the College Parent Manual.

Reminder for January 2026 - students are not permitted to wear any device capable of connecting to the internet while at school (this includes devices that connect to the internet though connections with mobile phones). This is to reduce potential distractions to learning and to ensure consistency with the policies of our external education bodies, particularly in relation to assessments and testing protocols.

We encourage all families to review their child’s wearable technology and make the necessary adjustments ahead of the new school year to ensure compliance with this updated policy.

Uniform Shop Update

Uniform Overviews

Please ensure you are familiar with the Uniform Overviews on the College website. These documents provide the current information about what uniform item can and can no longer be worn.

Order Collection

Uniform orders can be collected from the Administration Building on both campuses. Once your order is ready for collection you will receive a notification that your order is ready for collection.

House Shirts

The replacement house shirts were handed out at the end of last year. If you have not received a replacement shirt please contact the uniform shop (uniforms@calvarycc.qld.edu.au).

The house shirts with the incorrect design can no longer be worn. The images below are the incorrect house shirts.
