The Opportunity to Grow

Sport and physical education at Star of the Sea College work closely together to provide students with a very challenging and comprehensive program. During all physical education classes, students are encouraged to participate fully to explore and realise their potential. Physical education classes provide students with the opportunity to experience a wide range of traditional and recreational sports, as well as new developments and trends in the sporting world.

Through our involvement with Girls Sport Victoria, students have the opportunity to represent their school in 15 different sports. The emphasis is always on commitment, organisation and striving to achieve one’s best. Due to our school’s Bayside location and involvement with GSV, our students are very fortunate to be able to access and utilise many of the world class sporting facilities that Melbourne has to offer.

Star has a strong tradition of fostering creativity in visual art, music, drama and dance. Performances in drama, music and dance are an important feature of the life of the school.

The opportunities for students to develop their talents extend from music-making, acting and dancing to areas of stagecraft, set design, lighting, costuming and stage management. FAYBYRNE Centre, a state of the art facility designed to reinforce excellence in these areas of the arts, also makes teaching and learning a pleasure.

The visual arts curriculum offers students the opportunity to work in a wide range of media. Emphasis is placed on encouraging students to be imaginative, confident and skilful in discussing and producing art works.
