PBS Clubs
As part of our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approach, students have the opportunity to participate in weekly PBS Clubs. These clubs run in five-week blocks, with four different clubs offered each cycle to cater for a range of student interests. Examples of clubs include Lego Club, Sports Club and Cooking Club. PBS Clubs provide a positive and engaging environment where students can build social skills, develop teamwork, and be recognised for demonstrating expected behaviours, further strengthening our whole-school PBS program.

The Arts
The Arts program provides all students with rich and engaging learning opportunities across the four content areas of Visual Arts, Drama, Music and Media, delivered through a structured two-year cycle. This approach ensures comprehensive exposure and skill development in each discipline. To enhance classroom learning, at least one excursion or incursion is organised each year, offering students authentic, real-world experiences and deeper immersion in the Arts. Students also actively participate in the annual HEC Art Competition, showcasing their creativity and talent, and contribute to the school's Art Gala Auction, which celebrates student achievement while strengthening community engagement.
