Learning beyond the classroom

Learning beyond the classroom supports student wellbeing, connection and inclusion by offering opportunities to explore interests and take part in school life in different ways.

Students may choose to participate in a range of optional activities during and beyond the school day. These activities provide additional ways for students to connect with peers, build confidence and enjoy learning outside the classroom.
