Specialist programs

Performing Arts

St Agnes School has an exuberant Performing Arts program that delivers extra curricular activities in which students may be involved.

Students demonstrate their Performing Arts skills, taking part in assemblies and performing in front of an audience during our End of Year Showcase. All classes incorporate theatre skills to prepare and practise an item for the performance.

Festival Choir is also offered enabling students to learn a repertoire of songs and to perform as part of the massed choirs during the Primary Schools Music Festival.

Instrumental Program

Students from years 3-7 can opt into an instrumental program to learn string instruments. They can hire or provide their own instrument and the tuition is provided at no cost. This is subsidised through the Department for Education. Voice, Keyboard and Percussion are also offered at a cost to parents for private tuition.

Instrumental students showcase their skills through performing for the community.

SAPSASA

South Australian Primary School Amateur Sports Association

St Agnes is part of the Tea Tree Gully district for SAPSASA. The school nominates for a wide variety of events for students to take part in. SAPSASA gives students the opportunity to represent their school and to compete against other schools in various carnivals and knockout competitions. Students can also represent SAPSASA at a district and state level.

Kitchen/Garden

The kitchen and garden program at St Agnes involves planned lessons in both the kitchen and garden for all students from Reception to year 6. Many volunteers join our kitchen/garden program to work with smaller groups of students to support them to learn lifelong skills and experience the fun of planning, planting, growing, harvesting, cooking and eating their own fresh vegetables.

The skills based learning that occurs in the kitchen/garden is incorporated into everyday classroom learning experiences.
