Extra Curricular Activities available are- Arts & Crafts, Sports (Soccer, Hockey and Rugby), Music (piano, clarinet, saxophone, tin whistle & voice), Ballet/Dance and Mandarin Chinese. A further option, particularly attractive to time-constrained parents, is our Homework Club, which allows you to collect children after the scheduled class finishing time.

Learning Support Our Learning support/remedial teacher works closely with those class teachers responsible for J1 (First Class) up to J6. Children are assisted individually or in small groups, with the aim of assisting them to keep up with class standards.

Swimming receives special emphasis with lessons being conducted once weekly for all classes at Leisureworld, Bishopstown. Pupils participate in Interschool Galas.

Sport Each class has Physical Education twice weekly, taken by our specialised PE teacher. Soccer, Hockey and Rugby are after-school activities, with pupils participating in junior leagues.
