Co-Curricular

Building experiences, personal growth and relationships

St James’ Anglican School places a high importance on its co-curricular program because it adds significantly to the quality of each student’s school experience, while introducing them to a variety of opportunities for growth and development. The personal growth and relationships built through co-curricular experiences supplement the classroom learning environment.

House Time

Students from Years 1 to 6 participate in House Time on Friday afternoons. These sessions and activities help develop a House identity and an ability to work together with fellow students in their House. The activities cover many areas: art, sport (swimming, running and athletics), teamwork, general knowledge, logical thinking, public speaking, debating, curriculum quizzes and many more. We aim to cater to a range of students and their diverse skills, giving them all a chance to take a lead role, or learn something new and; above all to make new friends across the Junior School.

Clubs

Students are encouraged to extend their learning by focusing on their individual needs and interests. We provide an extensive co-curricular program with many before and after school clubs offering fun and engaging activities, such as service learning, music, sport, drama, recreation and more.
