Belonging…

Monday morning was a busy and exciting time as students returned and new students began.

For some, it was a big change, making that first tentative step into a new school community.

Some Reminders from the School Offices…

If your child requires a Medical Action Plan for Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Diabetes, Epilepsy or any other significant medical condition please make sure the current version of this is supplied to the School Office on the Campus your child attends as soon as possible.

You can let the School Offices know if your child will be absent in the following ways:

  • Email absences@calvin.tas.edu.au

  • Ring the School Office. Primary 6229 3814, Secondary 6229 4829

  • Or via the Parents Page on our website.

If your child is arriving at School late, please ensure they sign in at the relevant Campus Office.

Thank you for your assistance in helping us care for your children.

Consent2Go

Don’t forget to update your contact details and your child’s medical details using Consent2Go.  Information provided by parents ensures timely and accurate care for your child in the case of an emergency.  This program is also used to collect consent for excursions, camps and a variety of other school activities. Further information can be found on the Parents Page of the website.  Please contact the relevant Campus School Office if you require assistance. 

NAPLAN 2026

Each year, students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participate in the National Assessment Programme – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). The results are used to measure individual students and student cohorts, educational outcomes in literacy (reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.

The assessments will be conducted across two weeks this year from 11 to 23 March with opportunity for catch up of missed tests. The assessments will occur within class time and will be supervised by Calvin Christian School staff. The Parent and Carers Information sheet contains details of NAPLAN online. A simple English version is also available.

Students in Years 7 and 9 will need to supply their own headphones for all tests.

Student Withdrawals

Parents may choose to withdraw their students from NAPLAN or, in certain circumstances, they may receive an exemption. If you wish to withdraw your child, please contact the School to advise us and complete the required document prior to 10 March.

Student Adjustments

For information about test adjustments for Learning Enrichment students, contact Mrs de Kievit.

For our Secondary Students…

SEQTA Learning Management System

Parents and Carers of new students to Calvin in Years 7-12 should connect to SEQTA Engage in order to access their child's course outlines, class content, assessments, feedback/marks, timetables and reports.

New Parents and Carers will need to create an account using the link that was emailed last week. You can also download the SEQTA Engage App via your preferred App Store.

Further information about connecting to SEQTA Engage is available via the Parents Page of the website. Please the contact Senior Campus Office if you require assistance.

Co-curricular

The Secondary Co-curricular Program will commence in Week 2 this term.  Dates for Term 1 are 12 February, 26 February, 12 March, 26 March and 9 April.  Students will be informed of the Co-curricular options today in an email and invited to select their preferences next week.   Please note that some options will involve a small cost and/or later return to school.

For Our Secondary Students…

Welcome back to a new year! It has been wonderful to see students back at school this week. I am excited to partner with families to provide the best possible wellbeing support through counselling for students. I am also here to help our community through education and assistance in the mental health space. As you know, we care about all aspects of your young person’s life at Calvin, including emotional, spiritual, mental and academic wellbeing.  

To complement and better target this work, I am asking parents and carers to complete a Mental Health Wellbeing Snapshot Survey to further understand what families see as areas of interest and concern. Hearing from you will help our Wellbeing Team create more tailored support and programs for our young people. It is open to anyone with a secondary student at Calvin and responses will be kept confidential. Will you please take a moment and complete the survey? Thank you in advance!
