To all of the Calliope families, students, carers, teachers and staff, welcome back! We hope that everyone had a fabulous holiday and that you squeezed some time in for relaxation and rejuvenation, ready for 2021. This year is probably one of the most anticipated after last year.

We could like to officially welcome our new Principal to Calliope, Mrs Moira Mackenzie. We can’t wait to collaborate with you to support and scaffold our students’ school experience.

It was so nice to see so many smiling faces inside the school grounds over the last few days. What a thrill it was for families to be able to drop their school children off to classes. Please continue to socially distance so that we can continue to experience these special moments.

As a school P&C we have initiatives that we will continue this year so please keep an eye out for updates from us in the weekly Newsletter and on our P&C Facebook Page – Calliope State School P&C. We look forward to the year to come!

Tuckshop News

Tuckshop operates at both first and second breaks from Tuesday to Friday. The lovely Convenor Lisa and the P&C work hard to provide a wide range of healthy meals for our students. Ordering is strictly only through the QKR! App. We cannot accept cash sales at this time, sorry. Please ensure you have jumped onto the App to update your childs’ Year Level and Class so that their lunch is taken to the correct place.

Uniform Shop

Our uniforms can also be purchased through QKR! Thank you to those who attended our Open Days over the last week. If you have any questions or queries, please email uniformshop.calliopess@gmail.com .

Hats and size 6 school shirts are currently out of stock. They are estimated to arrive by Week 3 of term. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. Senior Shirts for our Year 6 students are expected to arrive in Week 3 also. These will be distributed to students at school.  

QKR! Info

To download the QKR App go to your App Store and search “QKR!” The icon looks similar to the open above. Register your details in the App, find our school “Calliope State School,” add your childs/rens names and order your Tuckshop and uniforms. Its super simple, there are no fees, and you can order for all children in the one transaction.

Notes for our first Special Lunch Day will be distributed to students soon. Please ensure you check your kids’ bags in case they go walk-about.

If you have any queries, feedback, or ideas for our team, please email pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au We are always happy to answer questions or help our where we can.

First General Meeting of 2021 – Tuesday 9^th of February at 6pm in the Office Conference room. See you there :)

In 2021 we would love to see lots of parents and community members be a part of our P&C committee. To see some new faces would bring us so much delight! Our purpose is to support our kids’ education and school life, be involved in an active way and have a say about what happens within our school community. Come on board to help us continue to achieve our goal!

Your P&C Team
