Extra Curricular Activities
At SKiPPS we are excited to provide lots of opportunities for students beyond the classroom to explore and develop their skills and passions. Some of these are offered by our school staff, some by our parent community and others by external providers. Below we have tried to collate all of the opportunities in one place and encourage your child to get involved in 2025.

AROUND THE WORLD IN ONE DAY - A GLOBAL GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE that is FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
SAT, MAY 17 - 12PM TO 4PM
Fitzroy Street precinct is proud to be home to a huge number of many and varied, but always delicious, eateries. The thing we’re most proud of though is that these businesses represent many parts of the world, from India to Italy, from West Africa to Thailand, from France to Scotland, from China to America and so much more!
Around the World in One Day is an epic restaurant crawl, this time held as a long lunch, where you’re given the opportunity to taste 20 of these restaurants and their cuisines, but, most importantly, the journey you take and what you try is up to YOU!
Tasters are only $5 (plus booking fee) and even more exciting is that we have new restaurants, Bang Bang and Lucien on board!! PLUS, many of the businesses have also offered drink specials you can partake in and there will also be musical entertainment on the street, playing the soundtrack to your food adventure!
