Beyond the Classroom

WE HELP EVERY STUDENT SHINE!

At St Canice's, we believe it is important for students to pursue interests to find what they are passionate about. We give them exposure to a range of exciting opportunities to unlock their creative potential, develop a talent or follow a passion.

CREATIVE AND PERFORMING ARTS

We encourage our students to explore their passions and talents. We have a range of opportunities available for students to participate in creative and performing arts activities and programs such as music, drama and dance.

SCHOOL SPORT

Sport is a valued part of a school’s curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child by providing opportunities for social, physical, emotional and moral learning. Participation, enjoyment and skill development are the cornerstones of school sport. Students are given the opportunity to be involved in various sporting gala days, for sports including basketball, indoor soccer, and cricket. Our approach to sport is designed to promote healthy, active lifestyles and good sportsmanship and teamwork.

St Canice’s also provides students the opportunity to participate in a specialist dance program in Term 1 of each year, and a specialist gymnastics program in Term 4.

Representative pathways are also available through the Parramatta Diocese Catholic Primary School Sports Council.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

Our students are offered a wide variety of local community activities to help develop a sense of pride, respect and responsibility for themselves and others. This positive participation and actions can be seen in how we interact and learn with one another, work collaboratively and take ownership of our behaviour as well as active involvement in faith-based experiences.

EXCURSIONS, CAMPS AND RETREATS

Every student loves to get out of the classroom and explore.

Our students benefit greatly from school trips where they are able to observe new things not available at school such as rare and exotic wildlife and plants, different cultures and the stories of our history. These experiences lead to deeper understanding of learning subjects.

Camps and retreats are also wonderful opportunities for students to develop independence, grow in faith, form strong friendships and make life-long memories!
