I remember as a child making the big trip to Brisbane to marvel at the World Expo '88.
Countries from around the world had displays showcasing their achievements, talents, and identity. While the recent Calvin Subject Expo may not have been on the same grand scale, it still provided an opportunity for students to experience and behold the smorgasbord of subjects and pathways Calvin Secondary has to offer. For a school of our size, the number of different TASC subjects available is actually quite grand (over 50). I recommend that students, parents and carers visit the Senior Secondary page of our website to download our Handbook. The subject choices and options available in 2022 are significant!
This combined with smaller class sizes, greater community belonging, Christian values, and increased direct contact with specialist teachers makes Calvin a unique and supportive education provider.
While it is true, some subjects may not be available, the option of doing a school-based traineeship or apprenticeship is certainly a reality for most other pathways, and Calvin can provide the pastoral and personal support that can help a young person perform that tricky juggling act of balancing work and study. So why not take a step back and marvel at the opportunities and genuinely caring educational environment that Calvin Christian School can provide to help your young adult develop and showcase their achievements, talents, and identity?
I am available to speak with both students, parents and carers about subject options and pathways. Please email me or fill in the form on the Pathways Central webpage. I’d love to hear from you!
