Uniform
NSW government schools require students to wear a uniform. Schools will provide you with information about their uniform requirements at enrolment. A school uniform usually costs between A$250 and A$300 depending on the number of items bought.
School Assessment and Academic Progress
School assessments and homework are an important part of the school program. Students may be required to complete assignments, oral presentations and examinations which contribute to their final grades.
These assessments help teachers to evaluate academic progress and prepare reports for parents.
Excursions
Learning occurs both inside and outside the classroom. Schools organise subject specific excursions (for example, a visit to the art gallery, museum or zoo) which provide practical field experiences. Excursions are an important and compulsory part of the school curriculum.
Sports
Sport is offered during school hours once a week. Sporting events such as athletics and swimming carnivals help to develop team spirit and good sportsmanship skills.
