Consistent with its vision of encouraging students to embrace all facets of life and enabling them to maintain a holistic balance between academics, sport and culture, our Cultural Department offers a myriad of opportunities for our boys and girls to explore. They are guided and instructed by enthusiastic and highly proficient teachers and instructors who impart a passion and love for cultural activities.
Chatterbox and Inter-school Public Speaking events expose our students to the enthralling world of public speaking. Their fears of speaking to large audiences are soon allayed and the confidence with which they can address the public is remarkable. Eisteddfods, where students are encouraged to participate in a variety of options, include own choice poetry, unprepared and prepared reading, speeches, mono- and dialogues.
The ever popular and rapidly growing Eco Club sees the students taking surveys along the Campus wetland to determine the population of the resident insect and birdlife. They monitor and record rising and falling water levels and, most importantly, learn to respect and care for our amazing natural world.
Theatrical productions and concerts take place annually within the Junior College, alternating between the Foundation Phase and Intermediate Phase. All students are encouraged to play a role in the productions. Participating in the dramatic arts grows the confidence of students, and it is gratifying to witness how adept they become at being able to ad-lib, produce on-the-spot performances and learn the value of positive criticism as they continually evaluate one another’s participation and progress.
