Speech lessons are offered to all students at a subsidised cost. Accreditation is given for these lessons and they may be continued on through high school. Drama is also a recognised programme at the school. Students are taught various forms of Drama and at the end of their unit they are all involved in a performance. Students are also given the opportunity to compete in cultural events such as the Townsville Eisteddfod and Cultural Fest.
The Sports programme is designed to develop both physical skills as well as good sportsmanship. Students from Grade 5 upwards compete against other schools in sports such as soccer, netball, hockey and cross country running at various times in the year. In the hotter months, they participate in indoor sports such as ten-pin bowling and indoor cricket to avoid the extreme heat of the summer season. Students also take part in both Inter-house and Inter-school Athletics and Swimming Carnivals.
