Integral to this is participation in a phenomenal number of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities offered that allow all students to gain an enriched education and challenge themselves in sometimes unique circumstances. These include overseas cultural tours to London, Paris, Rome and New York, as well as industry focused tours that include visits to NASA and Silicon Valley.
Our budding auteurs have the privilege of being mentored by guest directors and producers in filmmaking, while those seeking to hone their acting, singing, dancing and technical theatre skills join the school musical productions. Public speaking and debating, is popular with students wanting to test their oracy and thinking skills in prepared and impromptu environments. Those with talent in sports and athletics compete at the highest levels, while keen, creative wordsmiths develop their craft in workshops with professional writers.
Robotics gives students the opportunity to design and build their own robots and enter them in state wide competitions. Others design their own television advertisement in English or learn lighting and sound in drama courses, which has seen several students enter the television industry upon graduation. In the Sciences, the school is well known for its successes in titration and the promotion of environmental sustainability.
Leadership opportunities are also available to all students through an active SRC and Prefect body which focus on social justice issues and making contributions to various charities. It is not unusual for our students to be remembered for their volunteer work at local aged care facilities and with community welfare groups.
To us, education is more than academic achievement. It is about the social, ethical and cognitive development of the whole student.
