Coding Club

A popular choice of extra-curricular for our students, expertly led by our deputy principal Martin Earl, supported by our Year 6 IT Captains. The club runs one lunchtime per week, and is open to different year levels each term.


Art Club and Sewing Club

This operates during one lunchtime per week and is expertly led by our amazing art teacher, Marta Cummings and sewing expert, Miss Karen. Supported by our Year 6 Art Captains, this club is open to students of all ages.


Quiet Club

Open every lunch time from 1.10pm-2pm, quiet club is a place for children of all ages to come and relax, play a bit of lego, chess, drawing etc. This is a much welcomed retreat for those children who would like a break (sometimes quick) from the busyness of the playground. Staffed by our principal and classroom teachers daily.

 

Garden Club

Held in our ‘secret garden’ one lunchtime per week, this year the club is operated by Miss Jo and her team of helpers. Our students love to grow, harvest and eat their produce throughout the year, and our secret garden is also regularly tended to by a committed group of ‘green-fingered’ parents. 














Library Club

All students are welcome to pop into our library club, which runs for one lunchtime each week.
