Activities Club provides engaging, learning focused activities run by qualified teachers and undergraduate assistants. These activities compliment St Luke’s 6 Pillars and the core curriculum.
Students are presented with an array of Key Learning Areas offered on a rotational basis. These include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Coding, Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, Design & Physical Education. Want an idea of the type of activities we do? View our Photo and Video Gallery.
The most recent schedule is available on the college website. The day ‘focus areas’ provide an array of hands on learning activities within that particular subject area. Often there may be more than one focus area on any particular day, this is to cater to the strengths of particular teaching staff and external providers and also, offers variety for students attending on specific schedules.
Sunrise Session
The Sunrise Session offers smaller group activities.
At 8:00 am rolls will be marked and students will be handed over to the main supervision area.
Twilight Session
The Twilight session’s formalised ‘activity time’ is scheduled from approximately 3:15-4:30pm (however, this may vary depending on the type of activities offered).
