Delay to Opening
I regret to inform you that due to circumstances beyond our control, we have had to delay the opening of Eaton College from January 2023 to mid 2023.
The ongoing delays being experienced by our builders in sourcing construction materials has been very difficult to navigate. Further to this situation, we have been informed by Ergon of a serious delay with our Eaton College site electrical transformer.
We are very conscious of the complications that this outcome may cause families and we are deeply disappointed.
Kind regards,
Mr Steve Downes
Executive Principal

First Soil Turned
Thursday, April 28, marked a moment in history with the first soil turned at the site of Eaton College by Mr Steve Downes, Executive Principal and Ps Graham Eaton, whom the College is named after.
It was a very special and momentous occasion for all involved in the process of getting Eaton College off the ground.
Ps Graham Eaton was the founding Principal of Calvary Christian College when it first opened its doors back in 1978. He remains an integral part of the Calvary community as he also will be with the growing Eaton College community.
