Senior School Programs and Societies
Year 6 to Year 12
Getting involved in a Senior School Program or Society is a great way to find a new interest or deepen an existing passion.
Societies are co-led by both students and teachers to aim to create a safe and collaborative space for students to share ideas. By working with students outside of their peer group they hope to better understand the world around them through the lens of the Round Square IDEALS and Discovery Framework.
