Our Co-curricular Program

With the aim to develop the full potential of students, Ormiston College provides an extensive co-curricular program. It is an expectation of the College that students will participate in at least two co-curricular activities each year. Students who are involved in programs outside of the College are expected to prioritise their commitment to College programs.

Co-curricular Activities
Drama

Private or group co-curricular drama is offered to interested students. The drama students have the opportunity to enter eisteddfods and participate in accredited drama examinations. Various productions and presentations are also held throughout the year.

Drama Tuition Enrolment Form and Schedule of Fees for 2026 will be made available from November 2025.

Music

Ormiston College encourages all students to acquire a lifelong love of music. Specialist music teachers inspire and equip students to become the best musicians they can be.

In doing this, music becomes a highly valued component of their lives both at school and beyond the classroom and as a consequence of this, students develop skills in the areas of socialisation, self-expression and creativity, critical and subjective thinking, concentration and self-discipline. We believe the pursuit of excellence in music to be an essential part of a holistic and integrated education for all students.

Co-Curricular Music

If you sing or learn a musical instrument, we would be delighted to welcome you into our Co-curricular Music Ensembles. We offer a choir for every age group, bands, string ensembles, jazz bands and guitar ensembles. If you are interested in finding out more information about our offerings, please contact music@ormistoncollege.com.au.

Music Tuition Program

Ormiston College provides a comprehensive and expansive Music Tuition Program. The College’s Music Tuition Program has long had a reputation for producing outstanding results and engaging students as lifelong musicians.

Music Forms

Music Tuition Enrolment Form and Schedule of Fees for 2026 will be made available from November 2025.

Sport Aerobics Program

The Ormiston College Sport Aerobics Competition Program is run by specialist external sport aerobics coaches from Industrie One Australia. Sport Aerobics is a high paced, energetic combination of choreography, strength, flexibility and fitness. It combines the specific elements of aerobics, the flexibility, strength and agility of gymnastics and the showmanship, choreography and creativity of dance.

TAS Sport

Sport plays an integral part in the well-rounded education offered by Ormiston College.

Central to the program is our commitment to TAS (The Associated Schools), an independent schools’ sporting association which offers seasons of Saturday fixtures as well as swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals. Complementing the TAS competition is the opportunity to participate in the regional selection process which allows our elite athletes to ultimately compete at State and National level.

All students have the opportunity to represent their House in a range of interhouse sporting events which culminate in a Champion House Cup. We offer outstanding sporting opportunities for students, including excellent coaching programs and state-of-the art facilities. Most importantly, our sporting program boasts an exciting tradition of excellence with premierships recorded every season.

Trimester 1 Sport Preseason Training Information and Secondary School Co-curricular Registration for 2026 will be sent progressively, from the Dean of Activities, throughout Term 4 2025.

Swim Academy

The Ormiston College Swim Academy is where our students, parents, staff and members of the public come together to enjoy swimming in an inclusive, positive and friendly environment. Everyone is welcome, from OC students and their families to members of the general public!

Infinity Tennis offers a Tennis Program at Ormiston College to create a pathway from Prep to Year 12. This Private Coaching Program provides a link for students who wish to improve their individual skills throughout the year, complementing the team coaching provided at TAS and Junior TAS levels.
