As we move toward the end of another school year, it’s a wonderful time to pause and reflect on the growth that has taken place across our College community. From our youngest learners to our graduating seniors, every student has taken important steps in their learning and faith journey.

Author and tween parenting expert Michelle Mitchell reminds us that growth often comes through challenge and reflection - by noticing how far we’ve come, we build resilience and confidence for the road ahead.

At CCC, we are committed to helping every child discover their God-given potential. This season provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate what has been achieved and to finish the year well - academically, socially, and spiritually.

• Kindy students are getting ready to take their first big step into Prep.
• Year 6 students are preparing to embrace the challenges and excitement of Secondary School.
• Senior students are sitting final exams and looking ahead to life beyond the College gates.

Each milestone is a reminder of God’s faithfulness and the steady growth that occurs when students are supported, encouraged, and guided with purpose.

As Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Here are a few simple ways to help your child finish the term well:

• Reflect on the year - acknowledge growth, challenges, and highlights.
• Celebrate achievements, both big and small.
• Stay focused and complete remaining goals with diligence.
• Keep routines steady and make time for rest.
• Pray together and thank God for His goodness through every season.

Together, let’s finish strong - grateful for the journey, proud of the growth, and excited for all that God has planned for 2026.

This form provides an option for parents to share preferences regarding class structures in 2026.

Consider each child individually, noting the student by name in the form below.

Please note parent preference data is used in discussions with our experienced teaching staff. This parent preference does not guarantee class allocations in 2026. Where possible, we give preference of a single year level class to the students who have been in composite classes the previous year.

This form will remain open until Friday 31 October at 3pm.

Tomorrow, we’ll be filming and photographing around the College for a new promotional campaign. The theme, Head, Heart, and Hands, celebrates how we nurture students to thrive, grow in character, and use their gifts to make a difference in the world. We’ll also be highlighting our beautiful outdoor learning spaces and the vibrant life of our College community.

Throughout the day, students may be photographed or filmed and could be briefly withdrawn from class to take part.

If you prefer your child not to be included in the photos or video, please contact the College Administration Office by Wednesday, 22 October, 8am.

Thank you for your ongoing support and for being part of what makes our community so special.

We’re excited to invite all grandparents and grandfriends to join us on Friday, 24 October, from 8:30–9:30am for a special morning of connection!

Enjoy visiting your grandchild in our Primary classrooms!

A complimentary coffee van will be available for grandparents from our SBH kitchen. Parents are very welcome to join and order a coffee; however, please note that this will be at your own cost.

We’d love for you to join us and share this special time with our CCC community.

We love having volunteers as part of the life of CCC and thank everyone who has supported a camp, excursion or class activity over the years.

Due to recent amendments to Queensland’s legislation, CCC is updating its volunteer screening process: all volunteers must now complete the new application form and associated training before undertaking any volunteer duties.

In addition, any person volunteering in child-related roles will be required to hold a valid Working With Children (Blue) Card, which we will assist you to apply for free of charge through our administrative office. For full details of the new requirements and the legislative changes, please see the link below.

Next steps:

• If you do not currently have a Working With Children (Blue) Card, please contact Admin and we will assist you to apply for a volunteer card free of charge.
  • Once the Blue Card Application has been submitted and approved you will be able to follow the steps below.
• If you have a current Working With Children (Blue) Card, please fill in the CCC Volunteer Application Form found below and on our website.

All current volunteers must complete a new application form.

We are excited to share snapshots of the learning planned for the term ahead for our Primary students! A printed copy will be sent home for you to keep handy so you can refer to it throughout the term. Click the link below to view online.

We encourage you to engage with your child's learning by using the suggested questions at the bottom of the snapshot. These conversation starters are a great way to reinforce key concepts and support learning at home.

At CCC, we prepare students for God’s world and His future by building a strong foundation for faith, learning, and life. When our families feel supported and cared for, they naturally want to share their experience with others, and now, there’s even more reason to spread the word!

For 2026, if you recommend a family to CCC and they enrol, both families will receive $500 off 2026 tuition fees (T&Cs apply). Help us share the love and invite more families into our CCC community.
