Extra activities at Ettalong

Ettalong Public School's creative and performing arts team will begin selecting students for extra curricula activities over the coming year.

Headed by Ms Merran Hansford, the team will select students for the school's dance troupe, choirs, debating, public speaking and recorder groups.

"These creative activities, added to the range and quality of the sporting activities we also have on offer, ensure our children have access to participate in an extensive array of educational, confidence-building and talent-encouraging activities," school principal Mr Colin Wallis said.

"Our week is being structured so that these extra curricula activities do not interfere or disrupt other learning, but will in fact enhance student learning."

Mr Wallis encouraged parents to support their children in taking up the opportunities available to them.
