chess cluBChess is a wonderful game of deduction, reasoning, strategic analysis, concentration, spatial awareness, logic and social interaction. It is an excellent way to develop strategic thinking skills

and make friends. The children are taught by experienced teachers from Chess Ideas, a company providing chess coaching in schools since 1994.

Children learn about the value of pieces, how each piece moves, strategies to commence a game and strategies to defend the King. As their skill level improves, they are given problems to solve through simulations, and set plays are designed to further broaden their understanding about the strategies and intricacies of the game. They are engaged in tournament and match play activities and receive individual attention as they learn to develop sound attack and defence skills.

Groups are based on year group and ability and beginners and experienced players are welcome.

kArAteKarate has been taught at Christ Church Grammar School as a cocurricular activity for over fifteen years and is about control and discipline. We teach traditional karate with a contemporary outlook, utilising modern coaching principles and encouraging the children to be the very best they can be.

Karate enhances personal development in many ways, increases personal confidence, learning self-defence skills whilst enjoying game sense skill work.

All gradings are conducted during regular sessions and all students enjoy being empowered in a structured and nurturing environment. The skills initially taught include defensive movements, (blocks), body evasion, awareness and assertiveness. With increased knowledge, the children are taught more self-defence strategies, kata, (prescribed patterns upon which the grading syllabus is based), and years later, kumite (sparring). We strive to attain a high level of skill from all our students.

Cost: $200 per term for the lessons.

NB: the cost of a uniform and membership will be charged directly by Art of Defence

Class times: Years 2 – 6, Tuesday lunchtime. Prep - Year 1, Friday lunchtime

Teachers: David and Amelia Zarb from Defence Australia


homework cluBWhat does homework look like for you?

Primary students learn upwards of 100 new topics every year. Odds are, when homework is set, they are going to need help with a few of them. As a parent, the help you give depends on your time, subject knowledge and teaching ability. But when

these aren’t there, there are fights, miscommunications and stress in the home. Sound familiar?

That’s where Homework Club comes in. The program relieves pressure on busy working parents, helping out with the weekly homework routine. Our tutors assist your child with their tasks, using it as an opportunity to fill any gaps in knowledge and teach important study skills. To keep you in the loop, you’ll receive a weekly feedback report, detailing everything your child has done in the session.

Cost: $295 per term

Class times: Years 3-6, Tuesday and Wednesday, 3.30pm - 5.00pm
