Lunchtime and After School Activities

Williamstown High School has a great history of supporting students both within and outside of the classroom to extend their skills, interests and talents. Through the dedication of staff, students have the opportunity to explore their interests through lunchtime/after school activities.

These activities are exceptionally important in our school setting as we strongly encourage our students to pursue their interests. We acknowledge the research that students who are happy and engaged in their schooling have an increased focus across their curriculum, are likely to be successful in their academic and personal growth, and become outstanding members of the school and broader communities.

International Camps

World Challenge:

Community and Culture programs immerse students in far-away places they wouldn’t visit on the average family holiday. Students have an opportunity to engage in a cultural experience where they get to make a difference. Students in Years 10 and 11 will have the opportunity to attend this trip in 2023. The destination will be decided by the students, with Borneo and Costa Rica the two destinations to choose from.

The Great Literary Tour of Britain:

Opportunity to deepen student engagement in the areas of Literature and History. The purpose is to increase educational experiences via the sites visited as well as through the customised workshops at educational centres along the tour.
