Extracurricular clubs by school
Junior School
I hope that every Junior School child has continued to have a great experience full of academic and personal growth at Dwight in Term 2.
We are delighted to share our extracurricular opportunities ahead of the actual sign-up which will open on Tuesday 25th March at 9:30am and close on Tuesday 1st April at noon. We hope this provides you with time to review and discuss options with your children for Term 3 in advance of the sign up. Please note, this sign up is just for after school clubs, our lunch clubs will continue to run in Term 3 and students will be able to sign up for those at school. We are proud of the range of offerings available for our students!
You may notice a slight decrease in costs from Term 2, which is due to there being less weeks this term. Also, due to popular demand, we are now offering Lego Club twice a week! Please only sign your child up for one of the two possible days.
All Junior School Clubs will begin on the week commencing Monday 28th April and end on 4th July.
Lastly, our popular Science Club, run by the incredible STEM Dorado, will continue. As in Term 2, it is priced slightly higher than other clubs due to the costs associated with materials for running this exciting club.
If you have any questions about the clubs or feedback on the process, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Stephen Spoore
Assistant Principal
