Internal Clubs

We are excited about having a range of extracurricular clubs on offer for students which is run by our regular staff. These clubs will run at either breaktime, lunchtime or after school. Some may also only be during Week One or Week Two of the timetable. All internal clubs are free and students should see the teachers directly to sign up for the clubs.
