Extra-curricular Activities

Strive & Man Cave

This term, our FLE2 students had the opportunity to engage with facilitators from ManCave, Safety Pact and NECA (National Electrical and Communications Association). Across the day, students explored themes of self-awareness, healthier masculinity, diversity and self-esteem through a range of practical and creative activities.

The day was a huge success. Our amazing students engaged wholeheartedly with the learning opportunities, and the teachers and staff who supported and encouraged the students.

Through games, activities and creating safe environments the ManCave crew explored themes of healthier masculinity, personal development and self-reflection. The students really enjoyed and challenged themselves. Well done!

The STRIVE group rotated through three activities: self-defence and self-awareness with Safety Pact; learning about electrical apprenticeships with NEKA, including stripping wires, drilling conduit and fixing power points to walls; and a creative, affirming art activity with TC teachers and staff, challenging stereotypes and celebrating diversity.

We are very proud of these opportunities to build our students Social and Emotional learning which aligns with the Respectful Relationships Rights and Resilience (RRRR) Curriculum. The RRRR curriculum aims to build personal, social, emotional and ethical capabilities and encourages critical thinking and empathy skills, important skills development which supports our students to navigate positive healthy relationships.

Thank you again to all involved.

World’s Greatest Shave

It’s not too late to help us reach our goal! We’ve raised $2,313 of our $5,00 goal.

On Tuesday, TC took part in the World’s Greatest Shave, with students and staff getting their hair shaved, cut or coloured to raise money for leukaemia research💙

Three students had their heads shaved, including Imogen, who went from long locks to a new look! She raised more than $1,500 and had her sister by her side for the big shave. An amazing effort!

Thank you also to Connor and Leo who also took the plunge for a full shave. And a special shout-out to Jeremy, who completed his annual shave — much to the delight of staff who were happy to see the end of his mohawk! 💙

Well done to everyone who got involved and supported this important cause.

Snow Camp

Snow Camp at TC is such a worthwhile experience for students of all ages and abilities. Even if you have never skied or snowboarded before, you get plenty of support through private lessons every morning before a full day of skiing. Groups are based on experience, so everyone can develop their skills together and encourage each other to try new things.

After a full morning on the slopes, you stop for a buffet lunch before heading back out to explore different runs. Being in a group pushes you to try harder slopes and do things you never thought you could. The ski lifts, exploring the mountain and even stopping for a hot chocolate in the middle of the snow all become part of the experience. By the end of the camp, you improve so much that you want to go back straight away.

Staying right on the mountain makes the experience even better, with incredible views and the chance to wake up to snowfall. Apart from skiing, the lodge is a welcoming place to come back to after a long day. Ali and Mark, who run the lodge, take great care of everyone, providing amazing breakfasts, dinners and desserts each day. The evenings are filled with games, conversations, making it a great opportunity to socialise, meet new people and build friendships.

Whether you are playing games inside or heading outside to build a snowman, there is always something to do. Snow Camp also gives you a chance to step away from the stress of school and challenge yourself while having fun with your friends. It is more than just a week of skiing it is an experience that creates great memories and is definitely worth coming back for.
