Stories and highlights

Our school offers students a wide range of opportunities to participate in. It allows them to have experiences that they may not get elsewhere.

A year at our school

We start the year off with Swim School then closely followed by our Community of Small Schools (CoSS) Swimming Carnival.

Our CoSS Athletics Carnival and CoSS Cross Country are the main sporting features in Term 2.

Our excursions for 2026 are all happening in Term 4.

The 5/6 students are heading to Ballarat/Melbourne.

3/4 will be going to Borambola for their camp.

K/1/2 are visiting Canberra for the day.

Kapooka PS holds their school Athletics Carnival before our CoSS Athletics Carnival. We go up to the Base and the children get to have a go at all the events in preparation for the next carnival.

Being a Defence School, we actively work with our Members of Defence and include them in a variety of events, such as ANZAC Day.

Our students participate in a number of sports gala days. This year, both boys and girls across Stage 2 & 3, have had the opportunity to play in Netball, Soccer and AFL Gala Days.

Throughout the year, our school combines with other Small Schools to participate in Science Day, Naidoc Day, Public Speaking, Sports Days, etc. By combining with other Small Schools, this allows the students to widen their social groups which helps when they transition to High School.

Our school participates in the Wagga Wagga ANZAC Day Memorial Service every ANZAC Day. The School Captains normally have the privilege of laying a wreath at the Cenotaph.

Our students get a lot of opportunities to participate in local excursions such as Musica Viva, Riverina Environmental Education Centre, local schools for rehearsals for Chords, etc.
