Extra Curricula

Choir

Our school has a tradition of school choirs. We encourage all children to participate. Our auditioned or Chamber Choir is totally voluntary but their work is spectacular. Choir is under direction of our Music Specialist. Choirs perform at assemblies, sacramental program Sundays, special liturgies and Catholic Colleges Eisteddfod.

Science Club

We offer children an opportunity to explore the marvels of Science. This activity is run by the Centre of Excellence for Science and Technology Education and comes to us on each fortnight on Friday afternoons for two sessions - one Junior and one Senior class - each session runs for an hour. Invitations are issued through the School Newsletter and places are given to those who nominate and make pay on a first-in-first served basis. Each term new groups form so any who miss out in term one have a chance in term two. Parents make necessary pick-up arrangements for their children.

Chess Club

These groups meet after school on Wednesdays and Fridays and are tutored by a teacher from the Gardiner Chess Group. Again news of chess is advertised in the school newsletter and places fill very quickly.

Music Lessons

Individual music lessons (piano, strings, wind, brass and percussion) are available at the school as an extra-curricula option. These lessons are conducted by professional qualified music teachers. Lessons may be individual or group and some may be during school time or after school. Guitar lessons are available after school. Contact the school office for further information.
