We aim to broaden our students' learning horizons by presenting a range of co-curricular activities for students.

SPORTING CARNIVALS

The school holds Swimming and Athletics Carnivals annually in conjunction with Barcaldine State School. Students are encouraged to represent Barcaldine at the Central West and North West Carnivals in many sports including Netball, Rugby League, and Cross Country. In addition, the Catholic schools in our Diocese compete in an annual Rugby League and Netball competition called Challenge Cup.

CAMPS

School camps are important learning and socialising experiences and are part of our school program. Some excursions which have been undertaken include visiting the Stockman's Hall of Fame, QANTAS Museum, as well as local sites around Barcaldine.

 

Our Year 5 and 6 students go on two camps.  On our even years, we spend a week in Yeppoon and visit places such as Great Keppel Island, Koorana Crocodile Farm, and Cooee Bay Outdoor Recreation Centre.  In our odd years (eg. 2025), we take our students to Brisbane.  Students fly down and spend a week visiting places such as SeaWorld. Australia Zoo, Parliament House, and the Queensland Musuem.

EXCURSIONS

Throughout the year, children may be given the opportunity to enhance their learning through real-life learning activities offered beyond the school site. All excursions are based on educational programs and have appropriate pre-tour and post-tour learning activities. Information is provided for parents prior to any excursion.

CULTURAL PERFORMANCES

Students are provided the opportunity to participate in our Biennial School Musicals such as The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast Jr. and Moana Jr. In addition, throughout the year, our students attend a variety of cultural/educational performances. These sessions give students and insight into the fascinating and multicultural world around us. 

ROBOTICS CLUB

Students in Years 3-6 are invited to meet weekly to learn coding, programming, and robotics using LEGO Mindstorms kits and EV3 lab programming software. Problem-solving and logical thinking skills are emphasised.
