INTERSCHOOL SPORTS and CULTURAL ACTIVITIES PARTICIPATION

Our school participates in numerous interschool sports and cultural events throughout the year. Assistance with transport and supervision is often required. Students are selected on merit for most events and behaviour does play an important part in the selection process. A high standard of behaviour is expected at all events. Any student serving consequences of a 2nd or 3rd  ‘Major’ or Stand down at the time of selection or in the period between selection and the actual event, will be prohibited from participating.

 

 

SCHOOL CAMP

All Senior Class children are expected to attend the annual Senior Camp held in either Term 1 or 4. The Junior and middle classes participate in the annual “Outdoor Education Week” which occasionally include a class sleep over.
