Our extra-curricular highlights
Science Fair
Students in stage 3 every year participate in our annual Science Fair competition. Students run an experiment on a testable question, and present it to a South Sydney science teacher. It builds the students ability to use the scientific inquiry model, as well as develop a love of creativity and curiosity of our world.
Creative and performing arts
Our drama, music and art programs help students be creative and express themselves. They can join in concerts, art shows and drama activities.
Trips and excursions
Our students enjoy getting out of the classroom to explore, learn and try new things. These experiences help them grow, build confidence and see how their learning connects to the world.
