CLAREMONT COLLEGE

Our Clubs are Awesome

We are very pleased to be returning to our optional Club Program for the children. We believe the benefits of the Clubs Program include:

- Supporting the wellbeing for all children;
- Creating more space to increase the safety for all on the playground;
- Encouraging physical exercise with the extra space for freedom of movement;
- Enabling students to play sport and games using proper games/rules, with the need to modify the games on the playground;
- Catering to the different strengths of students eg: drawing, dance, chess etc.;
- More effective use of the different spaces around the school;
- Providing a more stimulating break, to combat any potential 'boredom';
- Giving students more choice;
- Assisting teachers with the management of student behaviour and
student safety; and
- Providing students who may not be interested in sports to have more
passive play options.

We ask that you chat with your child/ren about these clubs and encourage them to attend if they are interested. Please also remind them to thank the staff member who is running the club, as this is an extra service for the children, in addition to staff's usual duties and schedules.

We hope your child enjoys these activities, builds their friendships and has a whole lot of fun along the way.
