There are a huge range of activities on offer, from Origami and Aerospace Engineering to Yoga and Lacrosse!

- Lacrosse

- First Aid
-
- Aerospace Engineering
We are pleased to report that our Year 7 cohort have truly embraced the diverse nature of our electives and developed an appreciation for experiences beyond their comfort zone.
Student Voice:
“Aerospace Engineering was my favourite because it will help me pursue my dream to be a naval aviator.”
“I got to learn a new language and I can now spell my name – Sign Language is so fun!”
“My favourite session was Philosophy – it was interesting and I had fun hearing everyone’s ideas. It really got me thinking hard.”
“My favourite session was First Aid – the tasks were really fun! I now know how to keep myself and other people safe.”
All in all, 83% of Year 7 students say that the Enhance programme has enabled them to try something new and that they now understand the importance of taking part in after-school activities.
Well done Year 7 and thank you to our amazing staff for providing such a variety of activities!
