Swimming Program

Swimming lessons are part of the Lawnton Health and Physical Education Program and all students are required to participate. If a student is ill, a note will need to be forwarded to the class teacher. Swimming lessons are usually scheduled during Term 4.

Religious Instruction

Religious Instruction is offered to students through ‘SUPA (Scripture Union Primary Age) Club’ which children opt in to attend at lunchtime with their parent’s permission.

Sporting Houses

To foster team spirit and to promote healthy competition, the school population is divided into four houses – Guyra (green), Bindar (blue), Yarri (yellow) and Rungie (red). The house competitions are mainly for sporting events, especially Sports Day and our school Swimming Carnival. Family groups are usually kept together.

Excursions and Camps

School excursions and camps are offered as part of our educational program and are designed to support curriculum programs and within the context of units of study. Camp is held annually for students in Years 4, 5 and 6. The venue for the camp depends upon class numbers and available camp facilities. Every effort is made to keep expenses to a minimum. A time payment scheme is available to assist families to pay for these activities. Please see the Principal if consideration for assistance is requested.

Lunchtime Clubs

Teachers offer a range of clubs during lunchbreaks to develop children’s’ interests outside the classroom. Clubs are optional are open to all students who wish to attend. All clubs for each lunch break are announced prior to the bell for play time. Cooking Club, Art Club, Chappy Arts and Crafts, Sports Club, Edor, Science Club, Defence Club, and Groove Club are just some of the clubs on offer for your child to participate in. If your child would like to be apart of these club please encourage them to listen out for  the announcements. As these clubs are offered by the teachers during lunch break students are not required to attend every club session and are welcome to attend when their interest peaks.

Resource Centre/Library

Children are encouraged to use the Library regularly to borrow books, to care for them and to return them promptly. The library is open at lunchtimes under the supervision of a staff member. To borrow all children must have a library bag.

  • Book Club: The Ashton Scholastic Book Club is conducted in the school each term. Order forms are sent home with the students.

  • Book Fair: is conducted annually during the official “Book Week” and is a popular event which also supports raising funds for our school.
