Extra Curricular Activities
It is important for the complete development of the children
that they have opportunities for development outside the classroom.
At Erasmus School this is achieved through a variety of after
school activities and excursions, incursions and camps.
After School Activities on Site
A variety of after school activities are offered: chess, drama,
art, fencing, Choristers, Ensemble and Indian dance. See After School
Activities page for timetable and notes.
Erasmus School does not offer an after school care programme.
Arrangements can be made with nearby schools that do provide after
school care.
Excursions, Incursions and Camps
Grades 4, 5 and 6 are taken on a camp each year. Previous venues
have been Wilson’s Promontory, Camp Manyung and Howqua. In 2007
grade 6 visited Canberra. Most terms each grade participates in an
excursion or incursion that increases their experiences and
knowledge of subjects worked on in class e.g. Sovereign Hill,
Melbourne and Werribee Zoos, Planetarium, Aquarium, Skylab, ballet,
Opera Australia etc. In-class activities have included the hatching
of chicks from eggs in the Prep classroom.
The $60 excursion fund, collected at $15 per term covers most of
these events. Camps are calculated separately and charged at cost.
Average costs from previous camps are shown on the Pledge Form.
Parent’s permission is required prior to a child going on any
event outside the school, also an updated medical form for camps. A
contact person’s telephone details are also required in case of
emergency. |
