The Power of Partnership

Events like our recent Community BBQs and this week’s Parent-Teacher interviews are not just ‘nice ideas’ or ‘good things to do’…

Parent Prayer Groups

Following feedback from the Community Engagement Committee survey, the parent prayer group will be trialling two different times and locations for our weekly prayer meetings. The times are Fridays at 8.30am in the Principal's Office and Fridays at 2.30pm in the Meeting Room on the Primary Campus (next to admin). 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.

 

NAPLAN 2025

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 12 to 24 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 7 March.

Student Adjustments

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

For Our Secondary Students

Maths Tutorials

For students seeking additional support with their Mathematics questions, a tutorial group will be running in the Library on Tuesdays from 3.20pm-4.00pm with Mr de Puit.

Catch-Up Clinic - Supporting your academic health

This year we have introduced a new structure for secondary students to assist them with assessment submissions. It is called the “Catch-Up Clinic” and will run every day at lunch time. If a student misses a due date for an assignment or test, their class teacher will refer them to the Clinic where a Calvin staff member will assist them in completing their overdue assessment.
