From the Principal 

Dear Parents and Caregivers, Konnichiwa!

Additional activities at Grange Primary Schools

At Grange Primary we try and provide your child with additional opportunities on top of the set curriculum that enhance and foster student learning, engagement and wellbeing. Activities are often specific to a year level or several year levels.

 

Some of these opportunities include -

  • After school sport
  • Camps
  • Excursions
  • Homework club
  • Wakakirri
  • $20 Boss
  • Choir
  • Debating
  • Oliphant Science
  • Tournament of the Minds
  • Personalised Learning Projects
  • SAPSASSA

 

Such opportunities are only able to succeed through the good will of teachers, often giving up so much of their own time to enable their success. While the school as a whole supports teachers and these initiatives, there is no requirement for teachers to run them.

 

From my experience you would be hard pressed to find many schools offering such wide extra curricula activities and experiences for their students.

 

It is fantastic to work with such a committed group of teachers, so willing to go the extra mile to best support and stretch every student in their learning, engagement and wellbeing. This exceptional effort by our teachers and leaders is one to sincerely thank and celebrate.

 

Regards, Grant
