Secondary Notices

“You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode” Exodus 15:13  

Selfless Service

At Calrossy we value selfless service and our ANZAC Assembly was a wonderful reminder of this attribute as we paid tribute to our service men and women past and present. It was fantastic to see the Secondary School wearing their full winter uniform and blazer on Friday during our whole school assembly.

 

Routines for success 

As Term 2 commences we remain committed to supporting our students to be successful by developing routines and behaviours that demonstrate their readiness to learn and grow. Now is the time in the term when we are encouraging students to be proactive by looking ahead and planning their term. Simple routines like using your school diary to record assessments and homework help students to plan ahead. All students are encouraged to lead their learning and ensure that they come to school ready to learn each day with all their resources including:

  • Full school uniform (including blazer and formal hat)
  • School Diary
  • YONDR pouches
