As part of our school’s strong focus on serving others, Year 11 students have the opportunity to volunteer on community projects in Vanuatu, while other year levels take part in projects which benefit our own local community.
Our comprehensive music program gives students the opportunity to learn a string instrument, wind instrument, piano or percussion in private tuition. We run several school bands and ensembles which give our young musicians the chance to perform together throughout the year, including at our annual school gala.
