Co-curricular Programs

In 2018, it was with great excitement that we announced another positive change to the Co-curricular Program. The Program now has a weekly scheduled period in the school day. That is, every Thursday there is an in-school Co-curricular period.

Students are given a range of Co-curricular activities to choose from. Students will participate in two Co-curricular activities each year, one each semester. This is in addition to the myriad of Co-curricular Activities available both before and after school.

Within the context of the School’s ethos, the Co-curricular Program is uniquely placed to offer a wide range of activities catering for a vast array of student interests, talents and needs. The central aim of the Program is to broaden the development and interests of each student through the provision of a wide range of purposeful activities in; SPORT, LEADERSHIP and SERVICE, MUSIC, CREATIVE SPOKEN and PERFORMING ARTS, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and OUTDOOR EDUCATION.

  • To foster and develop student leadership
  • To develop a sense of belonging and school spirit
  • To encourage and develop co-operation, responsibility and ‘team’ work
  • To establish links with the wider community and develop relations with various groups
  • To provide opportunities for parents, ex-parents and ex-students to contribute to the School
  • To provide opportunities for students to achieve success in a wide range of areas
  • To inspire students to strive for excellence in all areas of endeavour
