A range of extra-curricular activities are offered throughout the school year.
Instrumental Program:
At Augusta we offer an Instrumental Music Program of which we are very proud. Education Queensland provides the opportunity for selected students to learn a string or band instrument commencing in their primary years of school.
The STRINGS program starts in Year 3 with students eligible for violin, viola, cello or double bass.
The BAND program starts in Year 4 with students eligible for clarinet, flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba, percussion and electric bass guitar.
Where instruments are available, Year 4, 5 & 6 students are also eligible to join STRINGS or BAND, including the option to move onto the double bass (STRINGS).
Please note that once a student signs up for the Strings Program they are not eligible for the Band Program in Year 4. It is our expectation that children who start in the Strings Program will continue in the Strings Program for the duration of their schooling at Augusta.
Choir:
At Augusta we have both a Senior and a Junior Choir. Students participate across the school year in internal school events including whole school assemblies, Anzac Ceremony and the Augusta Showcase. Students also participate in Education Queensland regional events including Fanfare and Combined Choral Workshops, and community events such as the Jacaranda Festival.
Performance Team:
Augusta has a dance troupe comprising of students from year 4 to year 6. The Performance Team have weekly dance lessons with a dance teacher. They learn dance moves and practice new routines which they perform at school events across the school year along with Eisteddfods and community events.
Gala Days:
Each year Augusta join with local schools to participate in interschool sports. These are called Gala Days. To date Augusta participates in girls’ soccer and netball and boys’ soccer and football. Gala Days are open to students in years 4, 5 and 6.
