Our extra-curricular highlights
Debating and public speaking
Our school has in recent years seen strong success in debating and public speaking competitions. Students can develop their thinking, communication and teamwork skills through both debating and public speaking. They also have the chance to compete in local and state events if they are selected for our representative teams.
Creative and performing arts
Our drama, music and art programs help students be creative and express themselves. They can join in concerts, art shows and drama activities. Our school has an extensive list of creative and performing arts groups which students - some are by audition and others are open to everyone who is interested. Each year we put on a big performance; our annual CAPA Night extravaganza at Riverside Theatre.
Sporting carnivals, competitions and gala days
Westmead PS values the importance of sport and physical activity in children's lives. We embrace opportunities for our students to develop their physical skills through both fun and competitive opportunities.
Camps, incursions and excursions
Our students enjoy getting out of the classroom to explore, learn and try new things. These experiences help them grow, build confidence and see how their learning connects to the world. Incursions, excursions and camps are some of the best highlights of students' schooling lives and we make sure to organise high quality opportunities for our students.
