Passion and purpose through co-curricular
At Guildford Grammar School, learning ventures beyond the classroom. Our comprehensive co-curricular program offers extraordinary opportunities for every child to explore their unique passions, talents and strengths.
We value the importance of a well-rounded education. Our aim is to provide students with practical, hands-on and meaningful experiences that develop their skill-set, exhibit their non-academic abilities and provide a pathway to explore these opportunities whilst complementing their curricular program.
Co-curricular activities are an important part of school life and allow students to:
- Develop curiosity and courage through age-appropriate risk taking in sports, music, the arts or new pursuits.
- Improve academic success – research shows a strong link between academic outcomes and co-curricular participation.
- Foster their sense of responsibility and enjoy improved relationships and wellbeing.
- Younger students adapt their learning through play and discover new strengths and talents.
