Students at Holy Spirit School are fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in a plethora of extra-curricular activities. Our ample playground and learning spaces and our very dedicated teaching staff make so many of these activities possible.
Band
Our students have the opportunity to participate in an instrumental tuition program, typically in small group lessons once a week throughout the school year. Once students are confident they have the opportunity to participate in band lessons before school on Friday mornings.
Dance
All classes participate in Dance lessons in Term 1 each year. These lessons are conducted by Dance Fever. The year 3 – 6 students then participate in the Dance Fever Interschool Challenge with approximately 15 other schools at the end of Term 1. Students in K – 2 show their parents and the rest of the school their fancy footwork in a concert at the end of Term 1. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the school’s show dance group. This group is supported by three teachers who generously give their time before school on Tuesday mornings to teach the students dance routines and prepare them for performances in shows, concerts and eisteddfods.
Choir
Our school has a beautiful choir which is led by three very generous staff members. The choir rehearses at 8.00am each Wednesday morning and they perform in numerous competitions, concerts and eisteddfods and they lead the singing during whole school Masses. The choir is truly a great asset of Holy Spirit School.
Chess
All students have the opportunity to participate in Chess tutoring during the lunch break in Term 2 each year. Numerous players then join school teams for the inter school Chess competition which is held after school on Friday afternoons during Term 2.
Sport
A very comprehensive sports program also gives students the opportunity to participate in all areas of sports at all levels of competitions. The program is facilitated by a specialist sports teacher supported by a Parent Sports Committee. Students participate in a Gymnastics and Martial Arts program as well as a Swimming and Surf Lifesaving program.
