Korowa Anglican Girls' School - Beyond The Classroom

Beyond The Classroom

At Korowa, formal exchange programs are arranged so that students can gain a deeper insight into everyday life in another country while enhancing their language skills. Senior students can spend time at the end of each year in France, Germany, China or Japan, staying with host families, participating in excursions and attending school. Students are also encouraged to travel broadly through participation in other organised exchanges and travel opportunities.

Health and wellbeing is highly regarded at Korowa. Physical Education is a compulsory subject from 3-year-old Beginners through to Year 10, after which it is undertaken by choice. As a member of Girls Sport Victoria, Korowa encourages participation in a wide range of sports.

Outdoor Education is an important part of the overall education of students at Korowa. Outdoor Education provides girls with a range of activities outside their usual environment, so that they learn to face challenges in an atmosphere which requires self-reliance and independence. School Camps begin from Year 2 at Korowa.

In Year 9, girls leave the Korowa campus for five weeks and take part in one of two programs - the 'Korowa Trek' or 'Urban Connect'. Students choose between journeying through the Victorian Alps by foot, bike and canoe; or spending time in city, urban, regional and country places, where students are taken outside their comfort zone to explore the self and connect with the wider community.

Year 9 students also have the opportunity to lead the House Arts Festival. This festival provides a performance outlet for musicians, actors and dancers. Students are responsible for the entire project, including the writing of scripts, choreography of dance routines and arrangement, allocating and performing acting roles as well as the performance of choral and instrumental pieces.
