Welcome to Calvary Christian College
Today more than ever before, learning needs are being informed by global trends, expectations and perceptions, technological capacity, social demands and organisational structures.
At Calvary Christian College you will find skilled educators engaged in thoughtful responses to the hopes of parents and the needs and aspirations of children.
As we acknowledge and embrace the rapid, and accelerating change in the world around us, we identify the need for outstanding relationship-focused teachers.
This is Calvary’s strength – that each child’s story has meaning in a world that is growing in both complexity and exciting opportunity. Each child’s learning journey is supported by a team of interested and committed adults who walk that pathway with our young people.
Principal & CEO, Mrs Cherylynne Gostelow
