The Wider Curriculum

Much of the learning which takes place in a school setting has nothing to do with the National Curriculum!  The College works hard to encourage students to be involved in a wide range of events and activities.

Central to this is the House system.  The three Houses of St. Agnes, St. Bernadette and St. Theresa create a sense of belonging across the age range as girls join in a series of whole school events such as Arts and Crafts, Speech and Drama, General Knowledge Quiz, Fund Raising,  Music and Dance and Charity events.  Senior girls develop leadership and organisational skills as girls work together in friendly competition.

In addition the school is committed to fund-raising especially for our nominated charities of CAFOD, Action Aid and Les Bourgs Hospice.  Many original and entertaining events are run by the students in support of these and other charities.

During 2006/2007 trips to Spain, Northern France and London provided opportunities for adventure holidays, language studies and an introduction to the First World War battlefields.
