Extra-curricular activities
Retreats form an integral part of our educational program in which all students participate. Our Retreat Program starts in Year 7, while the three-day Retreat in Year 12 is recognised as a significant life experience and often acclaimed by students as a major highlight of their education.
Camps play an important role in extending the curriculum beyond the classroom. These may be in the form of three day Adventure Camps for all Year 9 & 10 students and various subject camps. Similarly, excursions, both in and out of school time, also offer ‘real life’ experiences and enhance student learning.
Inter-House Activities encourage maximum participation, develop House Spirit and are an integral part of Seton life. Students enjoy a wide range of summer and winter sporting carnivals and competitions, as well as a variety of cultural activities.
Homework Clubs are run after school on a weekly basis by faculties such as Maths, English HASS, Science and Religious Education.
Public Speaking has had a strong tradition at Seton, both at junior and senior level.
Dance Classes provide another opportunity for students to develop their talents and contribute to College celebrations.
Drama makes a significant contribution to the cultural life of the community. Both Year 11 & 12 students hold major productions that are widely acclaimed, while Year 9 & 10 each present an evening of performance. Technical workshops offered on sound and lighting are also popular.
Students learning an instrument either through the College Music Tuition Program or outside of the College, are encouraged to participate in one of the College music ensembles. These include: the Flute Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Rock Bands, Musical Theatre Choir, and College Choir. Rehearsals take place either before school, at lunchtimes or after school. Students should see the Director of Music, for more information on how to join.
Media, Visual and Materials Design and Technology are flourishing areas of the curriculum where student involvement extends well beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Once a year the College holds the prestigious Brother Francis Arts Exhibition.
Sport sees the College take part in Inter-school Carnivals for Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country. Seton also has teams representing the College in a variety of State and Inter-school competitions that include Basketball, Netball, Soccer, Touch Rugby, Cricket, Australian Rules, Volleyball and Triathlon.
