Senior Co-Curricular
Opportunities for enrichment outside the framework of the curriculum exist across the College for students for all age groups. At Rouse Hill Anglican College, a diverse range of co-curricular activities are offered to students in which they may elect to participate. These activities are a part of what makes the College a dynamic learning environment which seeks to develop each student’s individual potential in a host of areas. The co-curricular program encompasses sport, music ensembles, creative and performing arts, technology, academic enrichment, as well as leadership development and Christian groups, all of which are designed to motivate and enrich students beyond the classroom. These activities are an important part of College life and our holistic approach to education. Students are encouraged to explore new areas, find their passion and develop skills in teamwork and leadership.
We believe that each student is an individual with their own particular God given gifts. Co-curricular groups provide extended opportunities for students to discover and nurture these talents as well as succeed within their chosen field.
Co-curricular activities are undertaken at lunchtime or before or after school. Students are strongly encouraged to be involved in the program as this provides an important balance to the teaching program at the College, as well as allowing students to be fully involved in College life.
Students electing to participate in co-curricular activities are expected to demonstrate commitment, enthusiasm, and care for others. Many of these activities provide students with opportunity to represent the College off-campus.
Music
Rouse Hill Anglican College endeavours to equip students with the fundamentals of music by offering a variety of opportunities where students can unwrap and explore the gift of music, pursue excellence in performance and develop a heart for serving others.
The co-curricular music program runs in conjunction with the classroom program, offering a diverse range of opportunities for students to unwrap the gift of music and explore their potential. The program provides students with the opportunity to enrich and extend their practical music gifts beyond the mandatory curriculum and elective classes. Ensembles encourage students to express and communicate musically, deepen their musical understanding and gain an appreciation of the art form.
In Senior School students are encouraged to participate in the ensembles to promote team work, excellence and building an attitude of serving others. Ensembles are open to all students who are interested in singing or playing an instrument with opportunities available from beginner to advanced levels.
Participation in an ensemble is strongly advised for students who undertake the elective music course as this additional time spent in music making enhances their aural and theory knowledge as well as their performance techniques.
Each ensemble performs at school events and functions, festivals and eisteddfods, community events as well as sharing the gift of music with senior members of our greater community.
