Extra-curricular

Some of the unique opportunities your child can experience at Palmwoods State School are:

• An instrumental music program is offered with strings, woodwind and brass teachers.  Our Arts program includes choir and recorder band and learning activities culminate in a performance each year with whole school participation in a variety of events.
• Our permaculture garden program offers a practical and hands on approach for learners as well as providing options during lunchtimes.
• A camp program operates for Years 4-6 and many excursions take place to support units of work across the whole school.
• A swimming program occurs for Prep to Year 6 and we are fortunate to be able to access the local community pool which is a short walk from the school. In Year 5, our students learn important surf survival skills in collaboration with a local surf club.
  
• Whole school participation takes place in our annual Cross Country and Athletics Day events.  In addition to this, many sports take place throughout the year and students are eligible for selection to represent the school, district and state in team and individual sports.
  
• Students from Years 3-6 are eligible to nominate for a position on the Student Representative Council.
  
• A student leadership program operates in Year 6. Students are able to nominate for leadership opportunities including school captains and house leaders.
