At Woodcreek School, Clubs are open to all pupils, with exceptional facilities, experienced teaching staff and a well-qualified support team to assist with cutting edge pre-habilitative work, recovery, strength and conditioning and psychology. All children are given every chance to better their performances in their chosen arenas.
Each student must belong to at least one Club of his/her choice. They are run by a Patron with a team of passionate teachers with a students’ leadership structure. Reports on Clubs/Programs activities may be followed from noticeboards, assemblies, school facebook page, magazines and newsletters.
They are required to engage, align and affiliate with other bodies that carry a similar mandate outside the school. A club or a program is expected to have at least one out of campus engagement every term.
