Enrichment Programs


Children benefit from being exposed to a range of experiences. Enrichment activities provide students with the opportunity of experiencing a sense of achievement through participating in a variety of challenging situations. Such experiences develop extra skills, consolidate on skills as well as build confidence, self-esteem, independence and teamwork.

The school constructs a curriculum program, which meets the requirements of the Archdiocese of Melbourne in Religious Education and ensures that the Essential Learning Standards as set down by the Victorian Curriculum & Assessment Authority (VCAA) are achieved over the seven years of primary school. Enrichment Programs are those programs, which although not required in order to meet the VCAA standards, enrich children’s experience and learning.
