Our extra-curricular highlights

Public speaking

Every student takes part in public speaking competitions at our school. Many students also compete in district and regional events. This program helps all students become more confident and better at speaking in front of others.

Creative and performing arts

Our Creative Arts program nurtures students’ talents across music, dance, drama, and visual arts.

Our students proudly showcase their skills by exhibiting their work at the Lismore Show and participating in the Lismore Performing Arts Festival.

These opportunities allow students to develop confidence, express their creativity, and engage with the broader community through the arts.

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.
