Co-curricular programs offered at St Finbarr’s School are designed to enhance students’ academic learning. Students who get involved in additional activities at school learn life skills in a fun and engaging way.

Students learn how to work in a team, make new friends, build courage to try new things and are motivated to do more as they experience success outside the classroom.

Students engage in activities that include sport, the arts, music, community celebrations, social justice projects and regional and district competitions and events.

  • Mothers’ Day assembly and luncheon
