Secondary Summary

Being Kind to Our Minds for Wellbeing

In Term 4, our students are focusing on the Foundations of Improve and Courage. At our Mega Launch, College Captain Natashya shared a powerful scripture from Paul in Romans 12:2:

'Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — His good, pleasing and perfect will.'

By courageously seeking continual growth and challenging our own thinking, as well as the messages we receive from the world, against the truth found in God’s Word, we can gain wisdom to discern what is true and good. Recognising what is true, loving and of God helps protect both our minds and hearts from influences that can harm our mental and spiritual wellbeing.

This term, as we explore the themes of Resilience, Self and Potential, our hope is that students will deepen their understanding of themselves and grow their self-care toolkit, supporting their development of healthy, resilient minds.

Celebrating the Year 12's Final Term of College

This is the final chapter of the schooling journey for our Year 12 students. The Secondary team is holding them in prayer as they prepare for upcoming external exams and complete their final assessments in the weeks ahead.

Remember, your teachers are here to support you — don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help! Also, don’t underestimate yourselves and what you can achieve when you put your mind to it over the coming weeks! 

Isaiah 40:30-31 - 'Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.'

Recognition of Student Success

We ‘Launch’ every week with a celebration of student successes. Of note was recognising the good efforts and outcomes of our students with our Term 3 Awards. Congratulations to all of our award recipients! Whether it was for exceptional academic outcomes, demonstrating the College Foundations or achieving over 95% or 100% attendance, every success is amazing and we encourage our students to continue to aim high in their learning and development of character.

Congratulations to Sabelle H in Year 7 for qualifying for Nationals in swimming. She will be representing Queensland at the 2026 Australian Age Championships on the Gold Coast — in the 50m Breaststroke.

Compassion with Operation Christmas Child

Secondary Connect classes are filling their Operation Christmas Child boxes in the spirit of service and compassion for others. Our students are including heartfelt letters from themselves in the boxes made during their Connect classes. We hope that this is just one of the ways they can find their voice at CalCC and advocate for others through compassion.

1 Timothy 4:12 - 'Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.'

May God bless the term ahead for our staff, students and their families. Term 4 is a wonderful time for celebration and we are looking forward to sharing our student’s successes with our CalCC community! 

With blessings,

Dr Amber-Lee Donahoo
