Character Development

Students are encouraged to participate in the co-curricular activities on offer, facing the inherent challenges that aim to inspire and develop them during their learning adventure, and build a sense of belonging and community pride.

Co-curricular activities enable students to build emotional and social skills such as resilience, persistence and cooperation. Tudor House offers an extensive co-curricular program encompassing both sporting opportunities and a wide range of creative and performing arts activities.

Sports

The health and wellbeing of our students is supported with a range of sports including Soccer, Rugby, Cross Country, Athletics, Swimming, Triathlon, Softball, Cricket, Water Polo, Basketball, Tennis, Netball, Oz-Tag and Snowsports.

The annual Triathlon (Years 3 to 6), Billy Cart Derby (Pre-K to Year 6) and the much-anticipated Boarders vs Day Students matches across Basketball, Cricket, Netball, Rugby and Soccer, are highlights of the School’s calendar. These events, along with the Rugby and Cricket Tours, are cherished traditions that both foster and strengthen school spirit and community.

Music and Performance

Tudor House students have a wide range of opportunities that enables them to participate in performing. Whether it is a recital showcasing individual musical talent, singing with the Choristers, competing against their peers in poetry recitals, ‘spelling bees’ or public speaking, or just performing in the annual Talent Show, our students become engaged and confident in front of an audience.

Each year the Year 6 students perform in a musical. Directed by teachers and supported by the Music Department staff, these performances are an extravaganza. Professional sound technicians are engaged to ensure all students are seen and heard at their ‘performance best’ with everyone including parents and friends joining in to build magnificent sets and outstanding costumes.

Extra Curricular

In addition to the wide range of activities on offer every day, we also have a number of co-curricular activities held both on and off-site in which our children participate. By participating in activities such as music, art, sports and various special interest clubs, students build confidence, teamwork and leadership skills.

Outdoor Education

Outdoor Education at The King’s School, Tudor House is designed to complement the academic and pastoral programs through the development of character. The girls and boys at Tudor House have the opportunity to develop a sense of self, others and the natural world through a range of diverse experiences in the outdoors. The vast Tudor House landscape offers a wonderful opportunity for our students to take advantage of the unique natural environment of the School.

To enrich the girls’ and boys’ learning experience, each student from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6 will participate in our Outdoor Education program, named Kahiba, which increases their physical, mental, social and emotional health. Our Kahiba activities occur on school grounds one afternoon a week, with year groups and classes rotating through our diverse range of activities including:
