All subjects provide authentic learning experiences outside the classroom as appropriate to their curriculum.
To help beginning students bond and establish new relationships, camps are held in Year 9 near the start of the school year. Another opportunity for an outdoor education experience is offered at the end of Year 10 before students enter the senior school. Curriculum areas also offer authentic learning experiences for students.
Students are encouraged to support the community. In the junior school each Ako class chooses a charity to support.
The school also supports a number of nationwide events and charities. For example, students participate in World Vision’s 40 Hour Famine and have raised over $50 000 for this organisation or support Pink Day, which raises funds for cancer research. In addition, our traditional charities, Cholmondeley Children’s Centre and Brackenridge, are supported each year.
