Leadership Induction
Wednesday 12 February
9am @ CCC
At Calvary, we believe that true leadership is not just about holding a title but is demonstrated through actions that positively impact others. Our merit-based system allows students to step into leadership roles either through an application process or by being recognised for their initiative and dedication to serving the College community. Next week, at our induction service, we will formally honour students selected for leadership positions within our student leadership structure. At the end of each semester, College Leader Badges will be awarded to those who consistently serve. A reminder that all students must wear their formal uniforms to the induction service.

Introduction from our Head of School, Dino Arraiol
As we wrap up the second week of school, it’s wonderful to see students settling into their routines and embracing the year ahead. We invite parents to partner with us in this journey to support them in building strong organisational skills. This year, we’ll be making great use of the paper diaries listed in student book lists, helping them plan assessments, schedule home learning, and keep track of important reminders—like bringing a change of clothes for special events such as next week’s Induction Service, where formal uniforms are required. Together, we can build habits that set them up for success beyond Calvary!
Co-curriculars
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!
Chapel Retreat
Our Chapel Team took the stage this past Wednesday to lead our first Chapel of the year, guiding Middle and Senior School students through a Bible verse, worship, interactive games, and AV production.
Next Tuesday, from 13:00 – 19:00, students are invited to join the Chapel Team for their annual retreat. They will engage in worship, join life groups, and explore Chapel’s purpose and mission.
Students not yet on the team but interested in attending can secure a spot by having parents email Mr. Arraiol at dino.arraiol@calvarycc.qld.edu.au.
Update from Dr Gary Holley, Head of Performing Arts
Thank you to all the students who attended Music Camp last weekend. It was a great opportunity to start the year and interact with the other students. All group lessons and ensembles will begin next week. Please see the timetable for rehearsal times. Teachers will email the timetable for lessons.
On Wednesday morning, we have the leadership induction at Carbrook. Students in the Senior Strings and Concert Band will be performing at this event. A separate email will be sent to parents regarding this.
