A Variety of Activities and Opportunities
A school is, of course, much more than its academic programme and results. Thus, at St Gerard's, there are opportunities to take part in various school activities which not only complement academic development but also enable other interests and talents to flourish.
Regular extra-curricular activities take place in sports, drama and music.
Students have access to:
- Visits and fieldwork to enhance classroom studies
- Careers education and advice
- Opportunities for reflection and spiritual growth
- Opportunities for service and exercise of responsibility
- A variety of sports' teams in competition with other schools; also inter-house competitions
