All students must take part in Community Activities. Community
Activities are divided into three categories. In Year Seven
students must complete at least 10 hours in each category per
year.
Creativity 10 hours i.e. Chess Club
Action 10 hours i.e. Volley Ball Club
Service 10 hours i.e. Peer Mentoring
If a student participates in one extra-curricular activity a week
throughout the year it is possible for them to fulfil the requirements.
It is also possible for students to complete these hours by taking
part in activities outside of school.
