Extra-curricular opportunities are extensive. Students participate in regional swimming, athletics, cross-country, golf and cricket. They enjoy camping programs and interstate trips, along with community initiatives such as the Sovereign Hill costume program, tree planting around the town, and participation in ANZAC and Remembrance Day commemorations. Many of our students enter local photography and art competitions, achieving great success. Every student also takes part in our much-loved end-of-year concert.
