Our extra-curricular highlights
Service to Others & Leadership Opportunities
The value of 'service to others' is an important part of our school community and is encouraged for all students. It helps build empathy, responsibility, and a strong sense of connection to others.
This commitment to serving others is embedded in our student recognition programs and is especially important in Year 6, where leadership positions are awarded to students who have demonstrated a proven history of service to others. Through this, we aim to develop caring and responsible leaders for the future.
SRC
The Student Representative Council (SRC) plays a vital role in our school by capturing and promoting student voice. SRC members actively listen to their peers' ideas and concerns, working to represent their views in school decisions. While helping to shape their learning community, SRC members also learn important skills such as problem solving, effective communication, and cooperation. Through their leadership, the SRC helps create a positive school environment where students feel heard and valued.
Incursions
Incursions provide valuable learning opportunities by bringing exciting and interactive experiences directly to students. Through visits from performers, science shows, and educational programs like those at Field of Mars, students engage actively by asking questions, wondering, and thinking critically. These experiences enrich classroom learning, inspire curiosity, and help students make real-world connections to what they are studying.
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.
Eco Club
The school Eco Club plays an important role in promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices among students. Members investigate important issues and take action to help protect the environment. Their work supports whole-school initiatives, encouraging everyone to adopt habits that contribute to a healthier and more sustainable future. The club helps students develop leadership skills while making a positive impact on the school and community.
