25.01.2022 We want to give a huge thankyou to the Calvin Christian School Council who provided the funds for a recent refurbishment to our Primary and Secondary Library spaces. For School Council this represents significant investment of resources. - In the Primary School Library this included new carpet, paint and feature walls. A number of new furniture finishings were also purchased. In the Secondary School this included painting and refurbishing the "The Hub" space. The Hub is exten...sively used by our Learning Support team and supported students. The Conference room was also completely repainted with new cabinetry, chairs and tables. The main Library space was provided with new chairs, tables and soft furnishings. We think it looks fantastic! - The role of Calvin School Council is to build community at Calvin. School Council members are drawn from the Christian Schools Tasmania Association. If you'd like to learn more about School Council or get involved in the school please visit calvin.tas.edu.au/get-involved or contact us. #BeYourBest See more

They learned about the role of the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia and made their own Royal Flying Doctor Service planes. - They also flew planes made with foam or cardboard, washers, and rubber bands seeing which flew the furthest. They experimented to see if having a pointed or rounded nose helped the plane fly further. #BeYourBest
