CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES

Art Club is open to Middle and Senior School students and is a great opportunity for students to develop their own skills in the visual arts and grow confidence in new mediums.

Held at lunchtime once a week, Chess and Checkers Club provides a quiet and friendly rivalry atmosphere for Middle School students.

Coding Club teaches students how to create their own 2D or 3D video game. The club will focus on developing a game for entry in the Australian STEM Video Game Challenge, an amazing competition that encourages students to develop their coding and game design skills. The club will meet during lunchtime sessions and dive into both visual scripting and general programming languages. Students will have the opportunity to work with powerful game engines such as Godot and Unity, learning how to bring your game ideas to life using a combination of visual scripting tools and C# or GDscript (Python) languages.

The Debating Club gives students the opportunity to develop skills in constructing objective and logical arguments. It helps students to improve their ability to understand, discuss and present issues and ideas. Importantly, debating encourages students to empathise with opinions that may be different to their own. The College competes in the South Australian Debating Association (SADA) competition, who set topics that are are evenly balanced and exposes students to a range of important and relevant issues and ideas, supporting their academic development.

Drama Club is a student-led community with a passion for performing arts. Each year, the current Drama Captain leads students in an array of activities designed to develop their skills in this area. The curtain closes with an end of year performance that is completely student-designed, developing significant skills in Growth and Agency.

If you are interested in Science, Art, the environment and/or animals, then Eco Club is the place for you! The aim of Eco Club is to make items from bioplastics, track animals in our local community, recycle the cans/plastic bottles on campus effectively, making murals/artwork from said cans/plastics, sampling microplastic levels on local beaches and much, much more!

Students in the Mountain Bike Team develop riding skills so they can enjoy some of the awesome purpose built trails available locally.
