Student opportunities and activities

At Caroline Chisholm School, we offer a diverse range of programs and learning experiences that support students to develop confidence, build friendships, and explore new interests. Our focus is on the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and academically—through personalised, inclusive, and engaging educational programs.

Every student has an Individual Learning and Support Plan (ILSP), developed collaboratively by teachers, families, and support staff to ensure individual growth and achievement. These plans are implemented through evidence-based programs and initiatives such as:

• Music program (Wednesdays): In partnership with Rhythm Village, students engage in music-making activities that foster creativity, communication, and wellbeing.
• Mini fit program: A physical activity program designed to improve coordination, balance, and confidence.
• Sailing program (secondary students): Secondary students participate in sailing to develop teamwork, communication, and practical life skills.
• Playground and lunchtime groups: Social and recreational activities, including library sessions and games, to promote wellbeing and positive social interactions.
• Art group: Focused on painting, drawing, and other visual arts to encourage creativity and self-expression.
• Signing choir: An inclusive program where students engage in music using Auslan to support communication and cultural awareness.
• Dance group: Opportunities for students to develop physical skills, coordination, and cultural appreciation through dance.
• In-school swimming and physical activity programs (K–12): Utilising our on-site swimming pool to support fitness, safety, and wellbeing.
• Work experience and work readiness programs: Preparing students for post-school pathways through practical work experience, skills development, and career planning.
• School sport, athletics, and inter-school competitions: Activities that foster teamwork, sportsmanship, and school pride.
• Creative and performing arts: Encompassing opportunities in visual arts, music, and drama through performances and exhibitions.
• Excursions and incursions: Providing authentic learning experiences beyond the classroom to enrich the curriculum.

At Caroline Chisholm School, fostering participation, enjoyment, and skill development is central to our work. Our programs support all students to achieve their potential in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment.
