ROTHWELL CAMPUSSENIOR SCHOOLCO-CURRICULAR OVERVIEW

FROM THE HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOLYour child has now reached Senior School and becoming a young

adult. As part of their journey you are hoping that they place a renewed

or continued focus on their studies. The temptation at this stage of their

education is to reduce or eliminate all other activities in order to focus

solely on their studies, and yet current research tells us that students

who are involved in co-curricular activity benefit academically as well as

culturally, spiritually and physically. It is all about balance.

In this booklet you will find a list of the co-curricular activities at Grace

Lutheran College for our Senior students. If your young person has not

taken up any of these opportunities yet in their school journey, it is never

too late. As our students continue to develop their intellect, discover

new passions and new skills, we would encourage them to try new

co-curricular activities and continue to work at those activities that they

have already developed a passion for.

It is in developing the whole person that your young adult will fully

prepare for what our College mission statement calls “a life of faith and

service so that God can be glorified in the world”.

For further information please contact Senior School reception ‘The

Hub’ during College hours for assistance.
