Life at WGS
Extracurricular activities
At WGS, we believe education extends far beyond the classroom. Our extracurricular activities give students many opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills and build lifelong friendships.
Sport and athletics
Our annual athletics carnival is an eagerly awaited event that showcases our students’ athletic abilities. With sprints, long jump, high jump and an exciting tug of war, it is a day of fierce but friendly competition.
Book Week
Every year we celebrate Book Week with creative flair. Students from Kindergarten to Year 12 dress up as their favourite book characters, bringing the magic of literature to life in our school community.
Science Week
Science Week is a week of exploration and discovery, when students dive into fascinating scientific topics through hands-on activities and competitions. It is a chance for our young scientists to shine.
Debating and public speaking
Debates are held throughout the year to showcase students’ talents and communication skills, earning recognition and praise. Our debating and public speaking teams consistently do well in inter-school competitions.
Youth forums
Our students take an active part in annual youth forums, such as the Blacktown Council Youth Forum, where they discuss important youth issues and share their ideas. It is a platform for them to make their voices heard.
Wellbeing events
Our commitment to our students’ wellbeing shows in the events and initiatives we organise to support their physical, emotional and social development, such as disability centre visits, a homeless run, cyberbullying workshops and parenting programs.
Upcoming events are announced in our newsletter, published twice a term.
