Extra-curricula Activities
The school encourages a number of extra–curricular activities. A variety of team and individual sporting pursuits are provided, all leading to state level. An annual drama production, House musical afternoons, concerts, jazz bands, instrumental music tuition and a range of choral groups comprise a comprehensive performing arts program. A structured camps and tours program is offered at year 7 – 10, and international student exchanges are arranged with sister schools in Germany, Indonesia and Japan. An annual Arts Festival and special subject weeks, for example Science week, Book week or Maths week provide an extension to the curriculum program.
Enrichment experiences are an important part of school life and include Enterprise Education, Young Achievers, Rostrum of Youth, debating, Tournament of Minds, national Mathematics and Science competitions, community service and a boat building program.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
