Choir
Choir is offered to students in years 5 and 6 in terms 1-3 of each year. Students are taught a program of songs from a variety genres. Performances both in school and out of school are held during the year to enable the choir to showcase their skills. The final performance at the Festival Theatre is held in September and is an exciting and colourful conclusion to the choir activities.
Through assessments and reviews students may be identified as needing further support in areas including:
German
Children have the opportunity to learn German as a Language Other Than English (LOTE). They will have either one or two lessons per week.
We have a German Curriculum Framework which is used for teaching German. The topics are strongly linked to other parts of the School Curriculum. The programme ensures the learning of the language, learning about the culture, the country and the people.
Sport
We have a strong Physical Education (PE) programme which, in addition to daily fitness activities and regular PE lessons includes:
- Swimming and aquatics (year 6)
- Fitness coaching sports clinics
A sports day is held annually. S.A.P.S.A.S.A activities also offer a number of opportunities for students in years 5-6 to represent the school at a variety of sporting carnivals.
Throughout the year the school utilises specialist programs such as Footsteps dance, CSIRO Lab on Legs, Life Education Van, Family Life Growth and Development, as well as various sporting clinics.
