Lunchtime Clubs
There is always plenty happening at CGPS during lunchtime! Our lunchtime clubs provide students with opportunities to explore their interests, try something new, connect with different students and staff, and make the most of the spaces we have available both within our school grounds and beyond.
This term, we have been taking groups of students across the road to the park twice a week, giving them the chance to enjoy some extra space to run, play and explore. We would love to be able to increase the number of students who can access these park visits. If you are an inducted CGPS volunteer and are available to help during lunchtime, we would love to hear from you! We hope to increase the number of park days next term, so let's cross our fingers for great weather!
We also continue to engage Kids Unlimited to run Art Club twice a week. Art Club has been incredibly popular with our students and, after such a positive response, has now been running for a second terms. One day is dedicated to Prep to Yr 2 students, while another is for Yr 3-6 students.
Alongside these opportunities, our staff run a variety of lunchtime clubs throughout the week, giving students plenty of different ways to spend their break. Some of our clubs this term include:
- Writing Club
- Lego Club (thanks you to community donations for the lego to support this club!)
- Drawing Club
- Cars Club (thanks you to community donations for the cars to support this club!)
- Drama Club
- Book Club
- Debate Club
- Comic Book Club
- Board Game Club
- STEM Club (runs all year!)
- Karaoke Club
- Find a Friend Club (student created and facilitated!)
There is plenty happening musically too! Our music teacher, Charlotte, uses lunchtimes to bring together some of our student bands and our school choir, providing students with additional opportunities to rehearse, perform and share their love of music.
And, of course, we couldn't talk about lunchtime without mentioning the much-loved CGPS slide! A couple of times each week, the slide is opened with full staff supervision, and it is always a very popular lunchtime destination. We make good use of the slide all year round.
Students are free to join the clubs and activities that interest them, so have a chat with your child about what’s happening at lunchtime and encourage them to give something new a go. We would also love to hear their ideas! If your child has an idea for another amazing lunchtime club, encourage them to share it with us.
And stay tuned… our lunchtime club offerings will be changing again in Term 4! We’re looking forward to providing a new mix of activities and opportunities for students to enjoy.
