Lunch Clubs & Enrichments
What is on offer during lunch and recess, and the teacher-led enrichment clusters that run on Fridays.
Lunch clubs
Lunch clubs will begin on Monday, 10/5 and run through the end of January. Some clubs are very popular, and the school is unable to accommodate all students, but they work hard to make sure that students receive at least one of their club choices (for example, students often choose art at lunch all four days - if classes are overfull, they’ll receive at least one session). If no grade level requirement is listed, all are welcome to join.
