Student opportunities and activities
At Howlong Public School, we believe that education goes beyond the classroom. We offer a wide range of opportunities and activities to help students explore their interests, build confidence, and develop essential life skills.
Every student has the opportunity to get involved and succeed, whether it’s through sports teams, leadership and academic programs, or arts and music activities.
Our programs may include:
- school sport, athletics and inter-school competitions
- creative and performing arts and music programs
- cultural and language activities
- excursions and incursions
- public speaking and debating
- lunchtime or recess activities - like lego building masters, chess club and bingo
- student leadership opportunities
- activities that support high potential and gifted learners.

Our extra-curricular highlights
Incursions
Some of our incursions include visits from the Responsible Pet Owners program, Police and SES services, as well as local sportspeople like cricketer Ms. Ebony Hoskin and Olympian Nathan Katz, who share their personal journeys with our students.
Debating and public speaking
Students can develop their thinking, communication and teamwork skills through debating and public speaking. They also have the chance to compete in local and state events.
Creative and performing arts
Our drama, music and art programs help students be creative and express themselves. They can join in concerts, art shows and drama activities.
Trips and excursions
Our students enjoy getting out of the classroom to explore, learn and try new things. These experiences help them grow, build confidence and see how their learning connects to the world.
