Dear Parents and Carers 

As we celebrate book week, I think it is apt to ask ‘when was the last time you read a good book?’ It was wonderful to see so many of our high school students and teachers showing up in book-inspired costumes today. Reading at home is best when modelled by the adults in the household and children are more likely to become avid readers when their parents encourage it, show an interest in books, and ask them about what they are reading. So read! Share your thoughts and ideas on what you are reading and encourage your children when you see them reading. 

Just a quick note - our planned active afternoon has been moved from the 31st of August to become the concluding event of EXO day on the 15th September.

Book Week Parade

Today we celebrated the highly anticipated Book Week Parade. This is the time when our favorite book characters step out of the pages and into our world. 

Calvary Website

We are constantly working on our website to make it more user friendly for parents. We are excited to share that the Parent Information page has been completely redesigned from the ground up based on parent feedback, easy to navigate and move through the page without endless scrolling.   

The changes also include the top navigation on home to include Parent Information, Term Dates and Communications for easy access. As well as this, all logins are also in the top header. 

Father's Day Movie Night

On Friday the 25th of August the College is hosting an Outdoor Movie Night we are inviting families to join us to view the original Toy Story movie. All proceeds from the evening will go towards supporting our Children of Compassion that each year level sponsors. On the night we will have food and drinks for purchase and there will be fun and games for the whole family to enjoy before the movie begins. Although this event is titled as a Father's Day event we encourage the whole family to attend and enjoy the evening with us. Please remember to bring your own picnic blanket or chairs to enjoy the movie with us.

Come see this hilarious performance of Don Zolidis' 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse, for one night only Friday 8th September, 7pm-8pm. Drinks and food available for purchase before performance and during intermission. Admission is free with an optional donation through the Trybooking link below:
