Extra Curricular Activities
At Padbury Catholic Primary School we have a wide range of Extra Curricular Activities on offer for students throughout the school:
Running Club
To practice our Cross Country Running skills, Running Club is 1 morning before school on our oval in Term 2 and 3. This is a hugely popular training club, with over 200 students joining in.
Swimming Club
Swimming Training is held before school 2 mornings a week throughout Term 1. Students receive training by our coaches at Craigie Leisure Centre, before returning to school to start the school day.
Coding Club
Coding Club is run after school once a week during Term 2 and 3. The aim of Coding Club is to develop the students' innovation, creativity and problem-solving skills by providing them with opportunities to learn how to write codes and further enrich their digital technologies skills. This program is run by our Key Teacher in Technologies.
Lego Masters
Lego Masters is held at lunch times during Term 4 in our Learning Hub, where we have a Lego wall and dedicated Lego Tables. Students use their creativity to work in teams and build creations based around a specific theme. Entires are judged and winners announced for each year level.
Musical Production
Students in Years 5 and 6 are offered the opportunity to participate in a full‑scale biennial Musical Production. Rehearsals take place throughout Terms 2 and 3, with several performances held in Term 3. The Musical provides a wonderful avenue for students to showcase their talents in acting, dancing and singing, as well as for those who enjoy working behind the scenes to contribute through prop design, set creation and stage support.
Choirs
Students in Years 4 to 6 have the opportunity to participate in Choir. We also have boys and girls choirs that run throughout the year. Our choirs have the chance to perform at school Masses, Assemblies and Performing Arts showcases, such as One Big Voice.
Music Instrumental Tutor (Private)
Students are able to participate in individual music tutoring on the school site. Currently we have Keyboard, Violin, Guitar, Voice and Drums on offer. This program is offered through external providers at our school.
