Co-Curricular Programs

In addition to the timetabled program, several additional co-curricular programs are available:

Instrumental Music

All Year 7 students are introduced to a musical instrument as part of the Music course. If they wish to study an instrument further and become involved in the College Band, students are withdrawn from classes on a rotational basis for lessons in the chosen instrument. A payment is required for private lessons through the College, an invoice will be provided to families for this program.

Transition Program

All Year 7 students are involved in the ‘Wellington Welcomes You’ program throughout the year to assist their transition into secondary school.

Literacy Support Program

Year 7 students who may require additional support with their reading, writing, speaking and listening will be withdrawn from their language class to participate in a Literacy Support class.

These students will be identified by coordinators using data from tests and primary school recommendations.

Year 8 Day Experiences

Year 8 students will be attending two excursions with the purpose of providing students with an opportunity to strengthen social connections, engage in teamwork, and participate in recreational activities. Each experience will offer a unique setting for students to develop positive peer relationships and enjoy a memorable experience outside the classroom.

Student Wellbeing Program

The Student Wellbeing program is run through the College’s Wellbeing centre. The program offers small sessions with multiple students, or individual confidential sessions. The aim of the program is to develop a sense of belonging, resilience and support for individuals at the College.
