Our extra-curricular highlights

Debating and public speaking

Students can develop their thinking, communication and teamwork skills through debating and public speaking. They also have the chance to compete in local and state events.

Creative and performing arts

Our dance, music and art programs help students be creative and express themselves. There are options for all students to participate, either in lessons through one of our external providers, or through auditioning for one of our school teams.

Trips and excursions

Our students enjoy getting out of the classroom to explore, learn and try new things. These experiences help them grow, build confidence and see how their learning connects to the world.

Chess Club

Our competitive and recreational chess groups meet regularly and have the opportunity to meet components from neighbouring schools.

Eco Club

Students are invited to care for our school grounds and demonstrate stewardship over the environment by learning, participating and getting their hands dirty.
