Learning Enrichment

Reading Challenge

Children who excel in learning are offered learning enrichment opportunities, tailored to their needs. Students who enjoy reading and writing can participate in the Premier’s Reading Challenge. Our School runs the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge to foster the love of reading as a passion. 

Enjoyable Learning

Our desire is to enrich the learning and development of all students beyond the curriculum; academically, socially and creatively. Our extracurricular program provides students with enriching experiences that not only make learning enjoyable but creates greater engagement.

Interschool Activities

All students are also able to engage in a variety of interschool activities that develop their minds and capacity to think. Our Chess and Debating Clubs provide students with a great challenge to learn the art of strategic thinking.

Creative Arts

We provide an array of creative arts opportunities, including dance groups, choir, band ensembles, drum lessons and piano lessons, allowing students to nurture their artistic talents and passions.

Outdoor Education Activities

Our outdoor education experiences help enrich learning for our students. They attend local and regional incursions and excursions, squads and multi-grade activities which give them the opportunity to try a variety of sporting and outdoor competition. Not only does your child have fun, but they also develop leadership skills, learn the art of collaboration and the call to look out for and care for one another.

To support your child’s personal growth and development Pacific Berowra continues to source the best outdoor education programs within Sydney and the region. Regular visits to Taronga Zoo, the Sydney Aquarium and the Community along with the Rod Education Scheme adds new and wonderful experiences for our students.

Diverse Creative Arts Offerings

At Pacific Berowra, we provide a rich tapestry of creative arts experiences for our students. From vibrant dance groups to in-class piano lessons, and band ensembles led by a Melbourne Symphony Orchestra member, we offer a spectrum of opportunities for artistic growth and expression.

Cultivating Confidence and Connection

Our creative arts programs in art, drama and music serve as a catalyst for skill development, fostering confidence in our students. These activities also create a nurturing environment where students can connect and share their innate talents, further enriching their personal growth.

The Magic of Performance

Our biennial Whole School Musical is a highlight of our artistic calendar. It involves students from Kindergarten to Year 6, encouraging them to embrace various roles, from chorus members to backstage helpers. This inclusive experience not only enhances their performance skills but also brings immense joy to our students.

Memorable Past Productions

Throughout the years, we have staged captivating musicals like 'The Bethlehem Project', 'Three Wise Men and a Baby', and 'Wise Guys and Starry Skies'. These productions not only showcase our students' talents but also create cherished memories of artistic collaboration within our school community.

Sports

Is your child naturally sporty? Would they enjoy competing at a higher level in sports? Pacific Berowra understands how beneficial sports are to young people. We provide opportunities for students who have a keen interest in sports to participate in individual and team sporting activities on-campus and off-campus to represent our School by competing at local, regional, state and national levels.
