Student opportunities and activities

Science & Technology

In science and technology, students explore the natural and made worlds. They learn how to apply scientific and technological skills, knowledge and understanding across a broad range of contexts.

Science provides a way of inquiring about the world around us. It explores evidence and investigates ways to discover, develop and produce solutions to real world problems. The inquiry and skill-based nature of science opens doors to ideas and discoveries.

Broadcasting

Students at Croydon Public School have the opportunity to participate in a broadcasting program where they learn real-world, collaborative film making and television production skills.

Students apply these skills in our television studio with the objective of creating meaningful content forreal-world impact.

Students produced their first television production, Kid Cascade

Personal development, health and physical education

Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.

According to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), students are expected to participate in PDHPE for between 1.5 and 2.5 hours per week in Kindergarten to Year 6.

PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.

Music Programs

The Croydon PS instrumental program provides students in years 2-6 the opportunity to learn a musical instrument alongside their peers. We are very proud of our instrumental music program which is an integral part of our school.

All Band and String Ensemble students attend weekly ensemble rehearsals as well as a weekly instrumental lesson (string instruments-private lessons; band instruments - group lessons). Our music students love to share their progress and our ensembles perform regularly for parents and for the wider school community.

Please contact Directions In Music for further information

Trips and excursions

Our students enjoy getting out of the classroom to explore, learn and try new things. These experiences help them grow, build confidence and see how their learning connects to the world.
