Lunch and After-school Clubs
What do we do at The Cottesloe School?
The aim of The Cottesloe School's clubs is to provide students with a diverse range of opportunities, from participating in sports and representing the school in teams, to joining performing arts groups or hobby clubs focused on Character, Healthy Relationships, and the 6Cs values. Additionally, students can access a quiet space in the library for homework or independent projects. These activities are designed to enrich their curriculum learning, support their studies, or introduce them to new experiences. While participation is not mandatory, we hope every student will discover something that suits their interests.
How does it work?
- Any student wishing to be on site after 3pm must attend a supervised session. Due to health and safety restrictions, it is not possible for students to remain in school unsupervised. There are no unsupervised areas of the school open to students after 3pm each day.
- All students are expected to be off the school site by 4:15pm each evening, and as soon after the end of their club or activity as possible.
- Students commit to attending a club each week. They need to tell the club leader before the session if they are unable to attend.
Performing Arts Clubs
Whichever aspect of Performing Arts you have an interest in, there is a club for you. There are evening performances held every term to showcase the wide range of talents our students have, on stage and behind the scenes. Below is our timetable.
PE and Sports Clubs
These clubs are not only for students wishing to be considered for school team selection, but also for students who would like to improve their fitness, develop their skills and enjoy some physical activity with their peers. The PE department will be happy to help with queries about any sports club.
- All sports clubs take place in the Sports Hall unless stated on the timetable.
- Kit – usual PE kit, or appropriate activewear, correct footwear (boots for football and rugby) and additional safety equipment (e.g. gum shield for rugby)
- If a student is selected for a school sports team, information is posted via the Team Google Classroom.
- Students are responsible for informing their parents of the details of fixtures including timings and arranging to be collected afterwards. Parents must complete medical and consent forms, which are emailed directly.
- Some sports clubs run at lunchtime to ensure participation rates are high. Because numerous our students travel by bus, they are not able to attend clubs after school.
What to do if you want to go to a lunchtime sports club:
- Bring a packed lunch on the day of your club - you can eat it at the end of lunch.
- Eat well at break time, so you've got the energy to participate.
- Get changed promptly at the start of lunchtime
- You may wear your PE kit to period 5 if you would like, so you're not late to lessons because of getting changed after the club.
