Our extra-curricular highlights

Sport/ Athletics

Students develop gross motor awareness, explore movement concepts, and release endorphins while participating in a variety of movement games and modified sporting skills.

Swimming

Bates Drive has an on-site heated swimming pool. Students develop self-help skills when changing for the swimming program, and learn water safety, sensory regulation breathing techniques, games, and swimming skills.

Incursions

Incursions are planned to align with the curriculum scope and sequence, enhancing student engagement and understanding of topics.

Theme days

Our theme days are designed to engage students in literacy, numeracy, drama, music, and art through curriculum-based activities, helping them explore creative mediums and express themselves.

Trips and excursions

Our students enjoy getting out of the classroom to explore, learn and try new things. These experiences help them grow, build confidence and see how their learning connects to the world.
