Our extra-curricular highlights
Sporting opportunities
Our school offers a wide range of sporting opportunities to encourage students to stay active and develop their skills. Students can participate in competitive events such as the swimming carnival, cross country carnival, and K-6 athletics carnival. Additionally, we take part in inter-school gala day competitions, providing students with the chance to represent our school and enjoy team sports in a supportive environment.
Creative and performing arts
Our Creative Arts programs encourage students to explore their creativity and express their unique talents. Students audition to join our junior and senior dance groups that perform annually at Synergy and at Westfield Shopping Centre. They also create artworks that may be selected for our annual Art on the Hill exhibition. Our choir showcases their talents each year at Schools Spectacular and Pulse Alive, providing enriching and memorable experiences for all involved.
Excursions and incursions
Our students love stepping beyond the classroom through excursions and incursions that allow them to discover, learn, and experience new activities. These opportunities enhance their learning, support their growth, boost their confidence, and help them understand how their education connects to the wider world.
