We offer a huge range of programs that offer extension to students in various areas.
Areas include Culture and the Arts, Sport, Leadership and Decision Making, Careers and Work Experience, Social Service, Camps and Excursions, and Educational Enhancement.
Here are just a few examples…
- National Competitions in Maths, Science, Chemistry, Geography and Technology. These are multiple choice papers and provide a summary of skills compared to Australia Norms. Students also have the opportunity to compete in ‘Tournament of the Minds’.
