A rich program of co-curricular activities is offered throughout the year, giving voice to individual talents and interests.
The co-curricular programs are closely linked to the academic program and enable students to develop a much deeper understanding and hands-on experience in their chosen fields of interest. The program includes annual camps for Years 7, 8, 10 and VCAL and for many students the biannual study tour is a highlight of their French language studies.
The program is well supported by our teachers, students and parents and continues to grow every year.
During the year, individual and team achievements are acknowledged with certificate presentations during student run assemblies. The off campus Annual Award night celebrates student success in Academic Excellence, the Arts, Technology, Sport and Community Involvement.
The expertise of our specialist teachers, combined with incursions from industry professionals, assists our students in the development of skills that transfer across the curriculum, and in the achievement of excellence.
