Extra-curricular Activity Program

About the Extra-curricular Activity Program

Larrakeyah Primary School has offered an exciting Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) Program since 2015. This innovative, holistic and futures/community focused program is designed to enhance learning beyond the classroom by expanding the curriculum and helping children develop new skills and interests. The ECA Program provides students with the opportunity to challenge themselves, enhance their learning and achieve in a variety of contexts.  Our school mission statement is strongly embedded in this program:

"We instil life- long learning through high standards, high expectations and high achievement."

At the end of 2023 the ECA Program was reviewed and redesigned. This review saw additional categories added to the program. The five categories are: Knowledge, Creativity, Physical, Health and Wellbeing and Community.

When does the program run?

The ECA Program is an afterschool program that runs from 3:00 pm-4:00 pm for at school activities or 2:20-4:20 pm (including travel time) for offsite activities on a Wednesday afternoon for 8 weeks. Each term, a diverse range of activities is offered which fall into five categories: Knowledge, Creativity, Physical, Health and Wellbeing and Community. Not all activities are offered every term and not all activities are offered to both age brackets.
