Co-Curricular

Together with academic subjects and a variety of sports activities, Beechboro Christian School seeks to provide something extra.

LOTE

Our LOTE (Languages Other Than English) programme includes weekly Japanese lessons for students from Year 1 to 6, and optional after school Italian classes once a week for anyone in the school community who would like to learn. The teaching of LOTE has been shown to assist students in the learning of English and enhances inter-cultural understandings. Teaching LOTE is considered to be important because in our increasingly global village, students may look to horizons beyond their immediate communities. Students who go on to Swan Christian College or Ellenbrook Christian College may choose to continue language studies in Japanese or French.

MUSIC

A strong music influence in our school allows students to explore other talents. The school has a specialist music teacher who takes classes from Kindergarten to Year 6 and instrumental tutors who offer instruction in flute, keyboard and guitar. The school has a junior choir and a senior choir who regularly perform within the school and the wider community.

CLUBS

A unique aspect to the school's co-curricular programme includes "Clubs". These operate for an hour each week during terms 2 and 3 for students in Year 1-6. Examples of the different clubs include "cooking club" "chess club", "dance club" and "woodworking club" to name a few. The clubs are led by staff and volunteers who have a particular passion for their area of learning. The small group setting of "clubs" strengthens the formation of friendships between students of different year groups while they explore new areas of learning.

PLAYGROUP

This year playgroup is held on Wednesday mornings and parents are encouraged to come along as this is a perfect time to meet other parents and encourage child interaction in a relaxing friendly environment.
