Lunch Clubs & Enrichments

What is on offer during lunch and recess, and the teacher-led enrichment clusters that run on Fridays.

Lunch Clubs (Grades 5–8 Only)

Lunch clubs are open to students in Grades 5–8 and will run from Monday, October 5, through the end of January.

Some clubs are very popular, and space is limited. While the school may not be able to accommodate every request, they work hard to ensure that each student receives at least one of their club choices.

Please note: If no specific grade-level requirement is listed for a club, it is open to all students in Grades 5–8.
