'Aspirations' Show Choir

Aspirations Show Choir will bring together students who enjoy singing, dancing, or combining both in performance. A show choir blends vocal music with choreographed movement, creating themed performances that are expressive and fun without needing a full script. Students meet once a week after school to prepare songs and dances. These rehearsals will build toward a showcase at the end of Term 3, where the group will share their work with the school community.

Football Development Program

The program aims to engage students of all genders and abilities to access high quality AFL development sessions. The program will run for 25 weeks in preparation for and during local AFL Football seasons.

The program is designed and led by Jonathan Simpkin, former AFL premiership player and current player at Colac Tigers Football Club. With years of experience playing and coaching at the highest level, Jonathan brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the role. He has a deep understanding of the game, including tactics, strategy, and player development and is able to communicate this knowledge effectively to students.

Students will develop football skills within an inclusive learning environment. The young players will refine technical skills, decision making skills and game strategies through ball-centred activities and modified games.
