Extra and Co-Curricular Opportunities
The following is a list of activities provided by staff and school to all students:
The voluntary contributions made by the teachers in the area of extra and co-curricular activities provides all students with many opportunities to belong to an extended family of teams. Such school activities provide many benefits to the life and culture of our school including the opportunity and platform for students to express themselves, as young developing adults, in ways that a restricted curriculum does not provide. Extra curricular activities provide a more balanced, dynamic and rounded educational experience that the classroom by itself, simply cannot provide.
