Character Development
Students are encouraged to participate in the co-curricular activities on offer, facing the inherent challenges that aim to inspire and develop them during their learning adventure, and build a sense of belonging and community pride.
Co-curricular activities enable students to build emotional and social skills such as resilience, persistence and cooperation. Tudor House offers an extensive co-curricular program encompassing both sporting opportunities and a wide range of creative and performing arts activities.
Sports
The health and wellbeing of our students is supported with a range of sports including Soccer, Rugby, Cross Country, Athletics, Swimming, Triathlon, Softball, Cricket, Water Polo, Basketball, Tennis, Netball, Oz-Tag and Snowsports.
The annual Triathlon (Years 3 to 6), Billy Cart Derby (Pre-K to Year 6), Ashes Cricket (Boarders vs Day Students), Rugby and Cricket Tours are much anticipated events on the School’s annual calendar.
Music and Performance
Tudor House students have a wide range of opportunities that enables them to participate in performing. Whether it is a recital showcasing individual musical talent, singing with the Choristers, competing against their peers in poetry recitals, ‘spelling bees’ or public speaking, or just performing in the annual Talent Show, our students become engaged and confident in front of an audience.
Each year the Year 6 students perform in a musical. Directed by teachers and supported by the Music Department staff, these performances are an extravaganza. Professional sound technicians are engaged to ensure all students are seen and heard at their ‘performance best’ with everyone including parents and friends joining in to build magnificent sets and outstanding costumes.
Extra Curricular
In addition to the wide range of activities on offer every day, we also have a number of co-curricular activities held both on and off-site in which our children participate. The program includes tennis coaching, swimming lessons and squads, an equestrian program at nearby Rosthwaite Farm, Soccer, Rugby and Cricket clinics, Chess Club, Lego League, Dance, Debating and Snowsport lessons and training during the winter months in the Snowy Mountains.
These activities contribute to forming stronger friendships between students and help to continually build on skills they will continue to use throughout life.

Outdoor Education
One of the most popular activities at Tudor House is our renowned Kahiba program. With origins in the Cub Scouts movement, outdoor education has been a long-standing tradition of the School and provides students with the opportunity to build resilience, resourcefulness and character.
Linked to the curriculum outcomes, Kahiba challenges students physically and intellectually as they navigate outdoor life skills.
The meaning of Kahiba originates from the Aboriginal word for ‘young’. With this in mind, our teachers deliver a program of activities across the School and in residential camps.
Our own 169 acres of bushland provides students with the weekly opportunity to enjoy Kahiba where they participate in activities ranging from canoeing, archery, base building, fire building and management, fishing, first aid, knot tying, tree climbing, orienteering, or competing on the 32 modules of the low ropes course. Years 5 and 6 cook their own lunch in preparation for the privilege of weekend camping on the grounds afforded to Year 6 students.
Students also participate in the maintenance of our farm through the Paddock to Plate program, where they learn to plant, grow and nurture vegetables, fruit and animals. The resultant bounty is then used in our Dining Hall where we can all enjoy the products of the children’s hard work.
