The co-curricular program of Bishop Druitt College provides enormous opportunities for our students to explore who they are and the gifts they possess. It includes sporting pursuits, community service activities, music and the arts, drama, public speaking, debating and a highly valued outdoor education program.
The co-curricular program forms an important part of life at Bishop Druitt College. Being involved is a commitment to the College, to oneself and to sharing experiences with students and teachers that might not necessarily be encountered in the daily routine. The program offers our students the opportunity to be a part of a team in an increasingly egocentric world. They encounter challenges, work together to overcome obstacles and accept judgement, learn to manage the disappointment of defeat and share the joys of success. |

Pastoral care is central to the total school environment at Bishop Druitt College. Therefore, pastoral care at the College addresses the diverse needs of the community- emotionally, physically and spiritually. Pastoral care is integral to the Bishop Druitt College community where everyone has the right to be safe, to learn and to be respected and treated with dignity.
We believe that Pastoral Care provides opportunities for positive relationships and interactions within the school community, through both the formal and informal curriculum as well as promoting a holistic approach to quality teaching and learning in ways that foster the self-esteem and integrity of each person. It is the shared responsibility of every person in the community to ensure individual student needs are met in a warm and welcoming atmosphere regardless of factors such as gender, ethnic origin, race or ability. |
