Extra Curricular Activities

Music

Choir

Music education is an integral part of the Australian National Curriculum and is a core learning area experienced by all students. At Holy Rosary Catholic School we believe that every child can succeed in music. A positive and supportive environment is provided to encourage active learning. The classroom music program uses a cumulative, sequential and developmental approach to the teaching and learning of musical skills and concepts. Students participate in a range of activities including reading, writing, creating, presenting and responding to music through the use of body movement, vocal and instrumental work.

We offer a School Choir for students Year 3 – 6 and percussion group

Camps and Excursions

Each class group organises, and arranges their own excursions throughout the year.  All information for parents is provided through the Compass Parent Portal under the Event Tab.  Permission for minor excursions is given through the enrolment process.  Permission for major excursions will be communicated through the Compass Parent Portal and can be given online through the Event tab for your child.
