Incursions and excursions
We host several visiting artists and performers throughout the year where students get to experience and learn through other exciting pathways.
We engage in regular excursions to enhance students learning and are blessed to have many wonderful features in our local area. Regular beach visits are always a favourite with our students.
STEM
Students participate in regular fun and exciting STEM activities.
STEM is a learning approach that integrates the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics into a cohesive and interdisciplinary curriculum.
It moves beyond traditional subject silos by connecting these areas to showcase their real-world applications and relationships, emphasizing hand on learning, critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and creativity to prepare students for a tech-driven world.
Sustainability education
Our sustainability approach, implementation and education program strengthens students engagement and understanding.
Students participate in sustainability initiatives including recycling of hard and soft plastics, as well as composting. Our sustainability leaders oversee correct composting measures throughout the school.
Healthy Harold
Alongside Life Education, we are on a mission; to empower our children to make safer and healthier choices.
Together, we can equip the next generation with the fundamental knowledge, skills and strategies they need to thrive. We believe it takes a village to raise a child and our program is most effective when we engage the entire school community; students, teachers and parents.
