Extra Curricular Programs

There are a number of subjects outside what is considered core curriculum – English, maths, science – which are still vital to children’s education and development. These include;

  • Music
  • Languages
  • Road safety and
  • Financial literacy.

Also not to be forgotten are programs run by schools to assist students with different needs than their peers, such as gifted children.
