School Camp

Our students attend the Small Schools Camp bi-annually at different sport and recreation camps. The camp includes students from outside our local area, giving opportunity to develop interpersonal skills and friendships.

Students also attend other camps such as The Small Schools Transition Art Camp and Astro Ag Camp.

Creative and performing arts

Our drama, music and art programs help students be creative and express themselves. They can join in concerts, art shows and drama activities. Our students learn an instrument at school and have opportunities to enter competitions both locally and internationally. Three of our students had their art selected to be exhibited in Japan in 2024.

Volunteer Craft Program

Each fortnight our students have lessons in craft run by a community member. These includes sewing, cooking, knitting, nail art, pottery, scratch art to name a few.

Excursions and Shared Learning Days

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. Three times a term we visit with our local small schools for shared learning days.
