Extra Curricular

As well as providing comprehensive programs in the learning areas of English, Mathematics, Science, Health and PE, The Arts, The Humanities, Technologies and Languages (Italian), we give all children the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extra curricula activities.  They cater for varied individual talents and interests, boost children’s self-esteem and confidence and promote a sense of belonging and pride in our school.  These programs are highly valued by our parents.

Foundation and Year 5/6 Buddies Program
Our Buddy program ensures that each child from Foundation to Year 6 are matched up with a student from another class. The resulting relationship that develops assists in students feeling safe and secure at school. Through regularly scheduled activities the prep student's transition to primary school is an easy one, knowing that their 'buddy' is their to help them out with anything they may need.
