Welcome to Campbell High School

Outstanding features

Enrichment

Our students have the opportunity each term to enrol in an Enrichment activity.  Enrichment is a fixed hour in the timetable during which staff offer a program of extra curricular activities. All students enrol in a 10 week course of their choice. 

Enrichment activities may aim to improve students' academic skills, sporting skills, or creative skills. Alternatively, they may be designed purely as an interesting activity which students would not be exposed to in the usual school timetable. 

Some current Enrichment programs are mountain biking, study hall, reading for pleasure, Annie's legacy - quilting for children in hospital, chess, international movies, Swedish, Japanese for travellers, bootcamp fitness, magic for beginners, maths help, gourmet BBQing, singing outreach, mural painting and band.
