SPECIFIC PROGRAMMES
Physical Education - Children throughout the school are timetabled for regular Physical Education lessons. The programme is sequential, and focuses on fitness and skill development. Classes are taken by a Physical Education Specialist or class teacher. Unless there are medical reasons (or other exceptional circumstances), all students are expected to participate in all Physical Education sessions and activities and to dress accordingly.
L.O.T.E. Language Other Than English - PRIMARY: A language programme for speaking and writing Indonesian is provided. Each class, from Year 2 to Year 6, receives approximately one hour of instruction per week. The Indonesian programme follows Department of Education and Training guidelines, and a trained LOTE teacher presents the teaching content.
L.O.T.E. - MIDDLE SCHOOL: Indonesian is the language taught by a trained LOTE teacher. The language is compulsory for Yr's 7 & 8, and students can study Indonesian in Years 9 & 10 as an option.
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION - Primary student may attend a weekly half-hour period of religious instruction. Classes are conducted by community members authorised by the Department of Education and Training to do so. Programmes are organised along ecumenical rather than denominational lines. Those students not attending religions instruction have private study under teacher supervision.
Middle School Students: A religious seminar for Middle School students is usually held once per Term. It is usually of one hour's duration, and may be on a separate or combined Year Group basis. The theme and its presenter/s are decided and organised by the District Council, a group which has representatives from each of the local churches, and the school. Parents are always provided with details before a seminar occurs and student exemption is possible on receipt of parental note requesting it. We assume that if there is no note that the student will attend.
EXTRA - CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Students participate in the following extra-curricular activities througout the year:
- Excursions
- Camps
- Work experience program for year 10 students
- Year 7/8 Week

SWIMMING INSTRUCTION
The Department of Education and Training enables each child from Pre-Primary (5 year old) to Year 7 to receive ten (10) free swimming lessons from qualified instructors every year, until they complete stage 12.
Lessons are held in school time, at the commencement of each year. Any child unable to participte on any occassion requires a parental note to that affect. Children must either have a swimming pool entry season ticket, or pay the pool admission charge.
The scheme is designed to ensure that every West Australian child has important water safety skills. We strongly urge your complete support.
