At the heart of a Christian school is something deeper than academic achievement alone…

Students from Years 9 - 12 are invited to our first ever Life Library happening today, Thursday 15 May, in the Calvin Secondary Library as part of National Careers Week. This is an amazing opportunity for your young person to meet with a community member in a field of their choice. We have volunteers with a wide range of career backgrounds and expertise who will be meeting students in small groups for a conversation about their career journey. Your young person can sign up to meet a builder or carpenter, architect, engineer, art therapist, doctor and many more. 

There is a 2.00pm session for our Senior Students, and a 6.00pm session this evening which is open to all students from Years 9 - 12. After dropping your young person at school by 6.00pm this evening, we encourage you to wait across the road in the Lantern Centre where the Salt + Light Café will be open for this special event.  

You or your young person can sign up using this link.

We hope your young person is inspired and motivated by meeting with our real, live human 'books'!  

‘Walking in the Light’ celebrates God at the center of all that we do. It is a reminder of the words of Jesus, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life’. This event is a great way to celebrate with the Calvin Christian School community as we seek to walk in the light of Jesus.

Parent Prayer Groups

There are 2 Parent Prayer Groups, both meet on Fridays. They meet at:

  • 8.30am in the Principal’s Office (Senior Campus)

  • 2.30pm in the Primary Campus Meeting Room (in the School Office)

We look forward to welcoming you to one of these meetings if you are available and appreciate your prayers for our School and School community.
