Demonstrating respect through wearing our uniform with pride
At Calrossy our students benefit from over 100 year reputation of excellence. One of the ways that this is upheld is by students wearing their uniform with pride. The Calrossy uniform policy is door to door, meaning that students are to wear their complete uniform (including their formal hat) from the time they leave their home to the time that they return.
As we commence Term Two and Three, families are reminded to ensure that all students have a complete uniform so that they can start the term off well. For the next two terms students should be wearing their full Winter uniform including a BLAZER and Formal Hat when they are outside of School grounds.
Please note: The Calrossy Uniform Shop will close this Term on Wednesday, April 5 at 4:30pm and reopen on Monday, April 24 at 8:00am. The Uniform shop will also open earlier on Wednesday, 26 at 8:00am.
Term Two Normal Opening Ours will be
Monday 8am - 4.30pm
Wednesday 11am - 4.30pm
Friday 8am - 4.30pm
Term 2 Parent Teacher Interviews
Two sessions of Parent Teacher Interviews will be held early in Term 2.
On Tuesday, May 2nd, parents of students in Years 7-9 will be able to attend face-to-face Parent Teacher Interviews between 4pm and 6pm on the Brisbane Street Campus in the Peter Smart Auditorium.
On Tuesday May 9th, parents of students across all years 7-12 will be able to hold a telephone Parent Teacher Interview between 4pm and 6pm. Bookings for both sessions will open early in the new term. Parents will be advised when the booking system has been opened.
As always, parents are encouraged to contact our classroom teachers directly at any time if they have any questions or concerns. This can be done by telephoning the school, or by email contact. Parent Teacher Interviews are just one way that parents can engage and participate in their child’s learning at Calrossy.

Last week Calrossy 7-9 Mentor groups celebrated Harmony Week with a photo challenge. The groups tried to capture the theme of the week in an image. Harmony Week is a celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.
