Community News
The CLC MEGA Band held its first workshop of the year on our College Open Evening for all to see. The ensemble, comprising students from Years 5–12, proved mighty in both sound and numbers, marking the first of three workshops as they prepare a combined repertoire for our Band Extravaganza on Monday, 10 August. It is wonderful to see opportunities like this, where separate campuses come together, allowing students to rehearse and perform as one ensemble. These collaborations already highlight the strength of our Music Performance program across both junior and senior campuses, and we look forward to the even greater opportunities that a single campus will bring.
Parkrun Volunteers Needed
We’re calling on our amazing äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ community to lend a hand at Parkrun on Saturday 23 May at Queens Park. Your support helps make this event a success—and it’s a wonderful way to connect, cheer, and enjoy the morning together.
Let’s show our äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Community Spirit! Students are encouraged to wear their äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ sport shirts, and everyone can top it off with a äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ cap or a äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ supporter cap. Staff members, students, parents and friends—all are welcome.

JC On the Move
Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in the Parent Survey, we really appreciate your input and the insights you have shared. We would like to introduce this space as a regular feature, where each week we will respond to some of the questions raised in the survey, as well as any new questions that arise as we move closer to the transition. Our aim is to keep communication open, provide clarity and ensure everyone feels informed and supported throughout this process.
Australia’s Largest School-Age Concert Band
Sixteen schools, 520 musicians, all performing from memory—this was the scale and excitement of the very first inaugural MEGABAND event held at QSAC in Brisbane on Monday, 30 March.
A bus of our talented CLC music students had an incredible time contributing to and collaborating with like-minded musicians as part of this record-breaking ensemble. Hosted by St John’s Anglican College, the event was a tremendous success and an unforgettable experience for all involved, with the added highlight of stopping for takeaway on the way home.
We look forward to this event returning next year and are excited by the prospect of it growing even further.

JC Playground Playbook
At äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾, we believe that the playground is more than just a place to run and play — it is an important space where children learn how to build friendships, practice kindness, and develop social skills in a safe and supportive environment.
To help guide positive behaviour and keep our playground a friendly and fair place for everyone, we will be introducing the students to the JC Playground Playbook. Just like in the classroom, we expect all students to be respectful, make good choices, and treat others with care.
