Mr Dino Arraiol - Head of School Community and Wellbeing MSS

Dear Parents and Carers,

This Mother’s Day, we take the opportunity to celebrate the mothers and mother figures who play such a significant role in the lives of our students. These women, whether mothers, grandmothers, carers or mentors, provide guidance, encouragement and support that shapes not only who our children are today, but who they are becoming. Personally, I see Mother’s Day as a time to reflect on the significant female figures who have guided and supported me throughout my life. From moments of tough love when it was needed to the ongoing support of a listening ear in adulthood, their influence has been constant and formative.

As a school, we believe it is important to take time to acknowledge and express our gratitude for the role these women play in nurturing and guiding the next generation. We are grateful for the wisdom they share, the care they give and the love they show each day. We pray that all mothers and mother figures in our Calvary community are strengthened and encouraged as they continue to guide their loved ones with grace and faith.

Reggie Dabbs

We are pleased to share that Reggie Dabbs will be visiting our school to present to students. Reggie is an internationally recognised  christian speaker who works with schools to encourage young people in areas such as resilience, identity, decision making and making positive choices. His message is engaging and age appropriate, connecting with students through storytelling and personal experience. He challenges students to reflect on their choices, recognise their value and consider the positive impact they can have on others. We look forward to this opportunity for our students to engage with a message that supports their wellbeing and personal growth.

Year 11 Subject Selection Evening

Subject Selection evening (for current Year 10 students) is being held on Monday 18 May in the CCC at 6pm. This will include a short information session followed by an opportunity for students and parents to peruse subject displays and talk to subject teachers.

Year 9 Service Trip Donations

Each year, our Year 9 students travel to Chinchilla and Tara Shire for their Service Trip in September. As part of this initiative, we are collecting donations of shoes, warm blankets, and winter clothing for students at Tara Shire State College, where many families would benefit from additional support. In the Middle and Senior School, these donations will replace the usual gold coin contribution for Free Dress at the end of the term; students can bring their items to Form class throughout the term, where their donation will be recorded and permission for Free Dress granted.

CAPA Update

Orchestra Performance at Springwood

Our amazing Calvary Orchestra had the honour of playing for the Springwood Campus Assembly yesterday.  The students in Orchestra range from Year Four to Year Eleven, and are from both campuses.  It is wonderful to share with the younger students. They played the National Anthem, Anthem for a New World, and Mission Impossible.  It’s wonderful to share how good our musicians can sound, after years of learning and dedication to practicing.  Thanks to Miss Dekker and Mr Judge Mears for organizing and conducting our Band Programs and Orchestra.
