Extension Programs

Classroom Programs

Our programs are geared to cater for the individual needs of the students and take into consideration that students have different skills (intelligences), interests and abilities.

Competitions

Various programs outside the normal classroom activities cater for needs of students with special abilities and/or students that require extension. These programs have included extension maths classes before school, participation in challenging competitions and programs e.g. Gateways Program, Australian Schools’ Competitions, Art competitions, Poetry competitions and various sports competitions.


Lunch time Clubs

Lunch time clubs during the year have included Japanese classes for beginners, origami and dance classes.

 
Tutor Music Program

Students can learn to play violin, keyboard, guitar, bass guitar and piano. Tuition is offered by expert tutors. If the need arises and there are sufficient students who are interested, we will try to provide tutors for flute, clarinet and drumming.  
 
 
School Musical

Every second year all students participate in a whole school musical. Last year we had the very successful "Dragon.com"  Previous musical have included ; "You can do it - The musical." This original musical reinforced the foundations of the You Can Do It Program.
 
 
Sports Programs

Kelly Sports runs programs on gymnastics and sports coaching on Tuesdays and Fridays at school.

Christian Religious Education

The Christian Religious Education Program is a carefully balanced program formulated by the Council for Christian Education in Schools (CCES) that allows the children to explore in a very interactive way, the values and stories of the Christian religion. In addition, the program promotes, among other things, the development of:

  • A positive attitude of themselves as growing persons
  • The ability to express and discuss their thoughts and ideas
  • Respect for those who choose to hold beliefs different to their own
  • The ability to cooperate and to work with others
  • and their awareness of the spiritual and the sacred

Parents can specify whether or not they want their children to participate in the program.

Chess Club
Chess Club meets every Friday from 1.00 p.m.- 2.00 p.m.
