The enriched Music programme at St Andrew’s School is much acclaimed.
At any point in time, more than two thirds of students are active participants.
The programme includes
- Choir, String Orchestra and Concert Bands
- Brass, Flute, Saxophone, Clarinet, Percussion and Cello ensembles
- Handbells, table bells and recorder.
- Each year a musical is presented by the Year 4 classes.
The emphasis of
the St Andrew’s School Physical Education
programme is on participation and enjoyment. To foster the
development of positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle,
our students learn basic skills through involvement in a variety
of sports. Students from Years 3 - 7 participate in the School’s
swimming and athletic carnivals and Years 4-7 have the opportunity
to participate in interschool sporting competition. The Junior
Primary and Upper Primary students have their own Sports Days.
Our Outdoor Education
programme aims to develop independence and the ability to
live co-operatively in a group away from home. Students in
Years 4-7 participate in a series of camping experiences.
Additional benefits of the programme include heightened awareness
of our environment and opportunities for character development,
decision making, problem solving and leadership.
Our Co-Curricular programme is based on the
philosophy that personal growth occurs when children’s
experiences are broadened. Activities include: art, chess,
debating and public speaking, drama, Greek, dancesport (ballroom
dancing), classical dance, and tap dancing. Sports offered
include cricket, tennis, T-ball, softball, basketball, netball,
soccer, football, hockey and gymnastics. |
