There is more to a child's well-rounded education than their academic performance. School is designed to equip children with a range of skills that cannot be learnt from textbooks but life-long skill sets and resilience built through experiences.

St Columba’s provides your child with the opportunity to take part in cultural activities after their school day.

Cultural activities are important for any child because, unlike much of the academic work, they tap into right brain thinking which include emotional intelligence, imagination, social awareness, expression and intuition.

St Columba’s offers various exciting Cultural activities. 

We provide a weekly schedule of the activity practice days and times. Children participating in the practices also enjoy the social engagement aspects that cultivate a sense of community, open up new friendships and increase teamwork.

In November our cultural students are invited to attend an awards morning at which they are recognised in front of their peers, teachers and the St Columba’s community for their dedication and achievements in their cultural activities.

At St Columba’s we foster a fun, relaxed learning approach to Chess, helping players understand what is happening in the game, and why they have won or lost a match. Chess team members play in various matches throughout the year, helping them measure their skill levels against other schools, encouraging healthy competition and a sense of teamwork.

The St Columba’s Choir is a non-competitive space in which every child is welcome. The focus of the music is on rhythm, pitch and tone, and children are encouraged to read music as part of Choir practice. Our Choir sings a variety of songs across musical genres, introducing children to a wide range of musical perspectives and ideas as we strive to develop a love of music and singing in every child.

Our choir participates in a variety of competitions and festivals throughout the year, offering children the opportunity to experience the excitement of live performances and the team spirit that is fostered as we work together to prepare for these performances.
