Sport

Access is available to the New South Wales Independent Schools competition in sports such as swimming, cross country, athletics and some team sports such as soccer, netball, basketball where students may progress from the North Coast Sporting Association to a State level of competition which is held throughout New South Wales. Students from the age of 8 (Year 3) are eligible to try out for sporting competitions.

In the Secondary School ‘Recreational Sports’ are also held and these usually involve students who do not wish to compete at a higher level. A range of different sporting activities are held and changes of sports may be available from one term to another.

Culture

The school is intent on developing areas of interest for those students who have a skill in areas such as music, dance, drama and public speaking.

Opportunities exist for students to be involved in areas outside of those offered at present in the elective areas of Years 9, 10 and 11. Involvement with choirs and instrument groups in Eisteddfods is to be encouraged.

Interschool opportunities exist for public speaking and debating and these are areas of skills which we wish to develop.

Musicals involving dance and drama are also encouraged with a major musical production planned every second year.

Senior School News

Seven of our outstanding Year 10 students travelled to Brisbane via train to participate in the Australian Defence Force program 2020. DEFENCE 2020 is a multi-faceted education program designed to encourage young Australians to become informed about the role of Australia's Defence Force and to engage in constructive dialogue on a wide range of Defence related issues such as national security and our rights and responsibilities as global citizens.
