Student Life

We believe that the important learning experiences that a school provides happen in and outside of the classroom, and our vibrant and varied student activities and co-curricular programs are vital in allowing us to achieve our goals of educating the mind, body and spirit of our students.

CO-CURRICULAR
We learn many of our most profound and lasting lessons in co-curricular activities, where we can learn life lessons such as how to win with grace and lose with dignity, and where we have opportunities to work productively with others and be part of a team. Each of these events are profound learning opportunities and assist young people to build resilience and shape their characters.  At TSAC, we are also committed to providing opportunities for every student to be at their best. For some students, they are at their best in their co-curricular undertakings – and we encourage, value and celebrate their contributions. Co-curricular offerings are available with Creative Arts, Sports and Clubs and Other Activities.

SERVICE
The College has a strong commitment to providing students with service experiences, to assist them in understanding their privileged place in the world, their power to facilitate positive change, and experience the fundamental ways in which being other person centred can be good for their own wellbeing.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP
Providing leadership opportunities to all students is a vital part of the Secondary years. All Secondary students are encouraged to develop their own leadership potential through our Leadership Program that asks students to:

• Understand different strengths that individuals might bring as a leader
• Appreciate the diverse skill sets required for successful teams and projects
• Consider their own strengths as a leader and what they might contribute to a group

OUTDOOR EDUCATION
The College has a strong commitment to Outdoor Education experiences and integrates camps into the school year.  These experiences form part of the students’ powerful learning journey, for it is on camp that they are provided opportunities to be resourceful, take safe risks and work as part of a team. Being outside of their comfort zone, in a supportive environment, is an excellent way of preparing young people for the challenges that they will face in life, to develop positive relationships within self, peers, various environments and adventure, and a highly effective way of allowing them to develop the coping mechanisms necessary to overcome the associated challenges.
