The Co-curricular Program is an important part of student experience, with a wide range of offerings available for students to explore. Engagement in these activities promotes the acquisition of new skills, engagement with different groups of students and staff, and provides an environment for students to flourish as they explore and develop new experiences.
The Creative and Performing Arts play a vital role in fostering creativity and
artistic expression. We celebrate children being uniquely designed by God to
express their gifts imaginatively and
creatively.
Co-curricular music groups provide an opportunity
for children to develop social and emotional well-being through fostering
teamwork, discipline, and creativity. Some of the groups in which the students
can participate include:
A choir for students in Years Three to Six, which runs weekly usually before school. The group is open entry and aims to foster a passion for singing and performing. Students have the opportunity to build their performance skills and friendships across different grades, and learn the importance of commitment and dedication. Throughout the year students perform at various events, a highlight of which is the annual Anglican Schools Corporation Choral Festival.
Students from basic three and above enthusiastically come together each week, usually at lunchtime, playing songs and grooves on DRUM SET in a dedicated space. The group is open entry. The ensemble focuses on fostering a love of performing whilst developing students' creativity and ensemble skills, particularly in playing two - and three part arrangements.
