Events

At Callaghan Waratah, we believe students thrive when families and the community come together. Strong partnerships between home and school help every student succeed through their high school years.

Throughout the year, we host a range of important events and information sessions, and we warmly invite parents and carers to join us. School events bring learning to life and help shape our school culture. They help students build confidence, connect with others and celebrate their progress. Events also give families a chance to be involved in school life and share in their child’s achievements.

Keep an eye on our school calendars and social media feeds for upcoming events.
