Co-Curricular

James Sheahan Catholic High School has a rich and broad curriculum to offer all students. Our curriculum offerings span the trades, the sciences, the creative arts and languages. As such, our School Co-Curricular program matches the broad curriculum offerings, supplementing and enriching student learning. 

Academic leaders at the school have a strong desire for students in our rural and regional context to experience the full range of learning opportunities. In any given year, students at James Sheahan have the opportunity to:

• Be engaged in Year Masses and Encounter Mornings,
• Travel overseas on Languages trips to France and Japan,
• Host students from sister schools in France and Japan,
• Visit local and national galleries,
• Tour local agricultural sector businesses and engage with regional agribusiness,
• Visit different places of worship for world faiths,
• View theatre offerings in metropolitan centres,
• Take part in Eisteddfods and tournaments,
• Test soil and water in local waterways adjacent to our campus,
• Show cattle at regional shows,
• Compete in equestrian competitions,
• Prepare catering and host dinners for special guests and parents,
• Perform in concerts and at assemblies,
• Trial for a range of sports at Diocese, State and National level,
• Compete against other regional schools for the Interschool Cup, and
• Visit university campuses, attend careers sessions on a wide range of work opportunities, and take part in Work Experience, Work Placement and volunteer work 

Our Co-Curricular program is supported by an equally rich extracurricular program where students can pursue areas of their own interest in faith, sport, the arts, environmental work, or cultural pursuits. A quick glance at our social media pages will illustrate an extracurricular program which spans social justice activities, NAIDOC events, building leadership skills, through to students competing in a range of competitions from spelling bees, to Chess and STEM competitions!
