A complementary academic assistance schedule provides opportunities for students to obtain support from subject-specific teachers before and after school, as well as some lunchtimes.

Creativity is encouraged through different techniques and mediums ranging from drawing and painting to jewellery making. Workshops are proposed based on student interest and can include pottery, painting and mixed media projects.

We aim to provide students with a comprehensive and balanced program of sporting activities. In doing so, we foster and develop students’ character, social relationships and sportsmanship, embodying our Christian ethos.

Our sports program gives students the opportunity to acquire and develop a range of skills, physical abilities and attitudes that help develop a sense of team and school spirit. This is a solid foundation for a life-long, active lifestyle. Opportunities exist for students to develop skills in individual pursuits such as athletics, surfing or parkour, with team sports available each term for different competitions.

There is also the opportunity for particularly gifted students to develop expertise and discipline that will help them to pursue representative sporting commitments beyond school.
