The extensive co-curricular programme at Borlase (House System, Student Voice, clubs and societies) is a huge part its culture and character, and partly what makes it such a special school. We have a huge number of clubs, societies, ensembles and activities for your child to be involved in every week, so they can get even more involved in what they enjoy: a passion of yours; a hobby; an academic interest. As they do so, your child will further develop a huge range of skills and values that will equip them for adult life. Some clubs take place before school and after school, others take place at break and lunchtimes. Many are led and organised by other students.
Please find below the timetables for Sports and Performing Arts Clubs, and Academic Societies. We also undertake a very large number of trips and visits (please see the Educational Visits page to find out more) as well as the very popular Duke of Edinburgh Award at Bronze, Silver and Gold level.
There is an amazing and wide range of sport going on every day of the week at Borlase. The current timetable of clubs is shown below.
We also have a dedicated website for sports fixtures. Here you can find team lists and upcoming schedules and results: swbgssport.com
The Performing Arts (Music, Drama, Dance, Technical Theatre) at Borlase are a vital part of the culture and ethos of the school, with opportunities given to students to perform at every level across all disciplines, developing a huge range of skills and values as they do so. We have a very busy calendar, with over thirty events every year, and the school has a reputation for outstanding performances and productions. Please see below the clubs/ensembles/choirs on offer this year.
Academic Societies are a key element of the school's co-curricular provision, offering the opportunity for further development of knowledge, discussion, research and debate across a wide range of subjects. Academic Societies are led by students, providing another leadership opportunity, and enable students from across year groups to work together in an area that interests them.
The Academic Societies are overseen by Mr Miall, Assistant Headteacher Co-Curricular, working alongside the School, HELM, STEM and Arts Captains.
