Our extra-curricular highlights
Cultural Learning Experiences
We embrace and celebrate cultural diversity through an engaging program of cultural activities and collaborations with other small schools. These experiences provide students with meaningful opportunities to explore and appreciate the rich traditions, stories, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, alongside the diverse cultures represented within our own community. By participating in these events, students develop respect, understanding, and a deeper connection to the cultural richness that shapes our world.
Creative and performing arts
Our students shine through a vibrant range of creative and performing arts. From School Spectacular, plays, music, dance, and singing programs to art lessons with local artists, community competitions, and exhibitions, there are endless opportunities to explore and showcase their talents. Poetry and storytelling competitions allow students to share their voices on local stages, building confidence, creativity, and a love of self-expression. These experiences connect learning with the wider community and celebrate each student’s unique abilities..
Incursions and excursions
Our students thrive when they step beyond the classroom walls to engage in excursions and incursions that spark curiosity and hands-on learning. Whether visiting museums, nature reserves, cultural sites, or welcoming experts and performers into the school, these experiences allow students to explore new ideas, develop practical skills, and deepen their understanding of the subjects they study. By participating in these activities, students build confidence, collaborate with peers, and discover meaningful connections between their learning and the wider world, fostering both personal growth and a lifelong love of discovery.
