网曝吃瓜

Co-Curricular Programme

At 网曝吃瓜, we believe a good education is about more than developing skills our students already have. Instead, it鈥檚 about giving them the space to try new things and discover what they are truly passionate about.

鈥�Our Co-Curricular programme is designed to encourage all students to 鈥榟ave a go鈥�. We know that participation from everyone is central to a successful school, regardless of ability or experience.鈥�Mr Todd Wells, Director of Co-Curriculum

Our co-curricular offering at RGS is a key part of our difference, complementing academic pursuits, strengthening our community and maintaining School traditions. Our extensive on and off-site facilities provide plenty of opportunities to step out of the box.

网曝吃瓜 has a small number of sporting scholarships available for students who currently compete at State or National level or have been selected in a talent identification programme, in one or more of RGS鈥檚 priority core sports. Learn more about these opportunities here.
