Course Details
The school offers a learning programme for Year 0-6 students. We have teachers who will assist with tutoring English to non-English speaking students, who enter our English as a Second Language programme (E.S.O.L.).
Outdoor Education
The school believes in the value of Outdoor Education to assist in personal and social development. International students will take part in a range of activites as available.
Sport
All students participate in physical education, sport and fitness programmes. Predominantly, Year 5 and 6 students represent the school in interschool sport, including netball, soccer, rugby and hockey. Some field days give emphasis to participation and may even have mixed teams. Other events are competitive and focus on skills. Sportsmanship is seen as an important part of sport participation.
Cultural Activities
Students have many opportunities to become involved in a wide range of activities. Some are included in class programmes, and Year 5 and 6 students are often invited to participate in special groups. We have a School Choir which performs at a local Music Festival, and Dance groups who also participate at our local HPPA Dance Festival each year at Somerville Intermediate.
