Our extra-curricular highlights

Sport

Our students love taking part in school sports carnivals and PSSA sports teams, where they develop teamwork, sportsmanship, and healthy competition. These events help them stay active, build friendships, and gain confidence both on and off the field.

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.

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.

Incursions

Our students benefit from school incursions by engaging directly with experts and interactive activities right at school. These opportunities enrich their understanding, spark curiosity, and make learning more meaningful and relevant to their lives.

Creative and performing arts

Our dance, choir and music programs help students be creative and express themselves.

Interest-based groups

Our students benefit from a variety of interest-based groups that assist in developing social skills and connections with peers.
