Extra Curricular Activities

Band Program


The Band Program is coordinated by the school. It provides opportunities for students in Years 3-6 to play an instrument in a band. There are Beginner, Junior, Intermediate, Concert and Stage Bands and a Recorder Group for younger students. Practices are held before and after school. This is a user-pays program.

Bush Building and Mud Kitchen

The Bush Building Club all students meets over one lunchtime. Come along: build and create in our beautiful bush environment. If you would like your child to wear gloves, please provide these.

Bush Patch

The school’s vegetable garden was a community achievement that came to fruition after 12 months of labour in August 2016. The student Environmental Representative Council (ERC) and other interested students are invited to tend to the garden. Once harvested, crops are sold to parents/carers after school for a nominal amount. The money is reinvested into the Bush Patch in the form of seeds and garden supplies. Community garden members are welcome to assist in the garden. The school has purchased Australian stingless bees to help pollinate the garden and bush. 

Chess

The Chess Club meets once a week at lunchtime for students in Years 3-6.  When proficient, a child may be selected to join a chess team and represent the school in interschool competitions.

Choirs

The school choirs provide the Students with an opportunity to use their musical talents and perform in public. Students are taught the basics of rhythm, pitch, tone and learn breathing exercises to improve their singing skills. The school has various choirs. Each year the choirs participate in a number of public performances throughout the year.

Dance

A number of dance groups, from Years 1-6, are coordinated within the school. Due to limitations of numbers at various public performances, these groups are capped and so typically try-outs are held to determine the make up the group. 

Debating

Along with our in-school program of speaking and listening development activities, opportunity is provided for senior students to participate in a formal debating program. This involves participation in the Premier’s Debating Challenge which is a series of debates with other local schools.

Library

At a loose end? The School Library is a welcoming place where students can borrow books, read and play board games. Open before school and at lunchtimes.

Snow Sport

Our school participates in the NSW Interschools Snowsports Championships, Travelplan Northern NSW Region Championships alternating each year between Perisher and Thredbo.
