The school aims to provide strategies, tasks and activities for students that enable rich experiences, through a diverse array of areas. The purpose is to encourage all students to extend and enhance their individual talents and interests. The intent is to enable students to gain a broader understanding of ‘being’ an active member of a community and communities, an informed, healthy, democratic, creative, eco citizen. Within each Homeroom and year level, plans and arrangements are made to differentiate the curriculum to cater for, enrich and extend the students and their capabilities. Sport, music, drama, art, dance, life skills and community involvement are elements of this school based program.
The school facilitates an Enrichment and Extension Project for the students from years three to six each year. This is designed not only for students to participate in a diverse range of real life learning experiences but to be an active participant in the decision making process from preference selection to final choice including any problem solving throughout the process.
The courses are designed for a block of consecutive weeks to engage small groups in learning through their interest areas, local opportunities and to explore topics out of their comfort zone.
