Coding Club

Our new Coding Club is for Years 2 to 6 students only, and the seven week program will run on Tuesday lunchtimes from 1.30pm to 2.30pm, in the Hall commencing on 13 February. Students will use school devices.

Note: the Term 1 Coding Club is full and no further registrations can be taken. Due to the success of the Term 1 program, we are expanding the program in Term 2 to two lunchtime programs; details will be published soon on Compass.

Code Camp allows kids to hone their coding skills and keep practising through weekly sessions over the term! Students will produce multiple games and apps using our exciting online platform Code Camp World! We have made Code Camp World as accessible as possible so students can truly focus on the fun aspects of coding and carry on their journey at home. Each week students will choose the features they want to build, and advance their problem-solving skills to build these features using code. They will take ownership over their projects and collaborate with their peers to make awesome apps!
