Why Should Your Child Participate in an Extra Curricular Activity?
At St Kevin’s, we believe every child deserves the chance to
discover their gifts, express themselves with confidence, and grow in both
heart and mind. Our extracurricular opportunities — including instrumental
music, choir and singing, and speech and drama — are open to
all students from Prep to Year 6 and offer a wonderful way for children to
explore their creativity in a supportive, faith‑filled environment.
Learning an instrument nurtures discipline, patience and
perseverance, while singing and drama help children build confidence,
communication skills and emotional expression. These programs are not only
fun and engaging — they also play an important role in a child’s personal,
social and cognitive development.
At St Kevin’s, we celebrate the joy of learning together.
Our extracurricular activities give students a unique opportunity to shine, try
something new, and grow into the capable, creative young people they are called
to be.
