Student activities and excursions

Trips and excursions

Our students enjoy getting out of the classroom to explore, learn and try new things. These experiences help them grow, build confidence and see how their learning connects to the world.

Chess

We have a strong chess team at Lake Albert Public School, with competitions held between local schools. Students in our chess team range in age from Year 1 to Year 6.

Young Communicators competition

Each year, students in K-6 are involved in our public speaking competition, the Young Communicators. Students prepare and present a speech about a topic of their own choice, with the possibility of being chosen to represent their class and year at the school finals

Student representative council (SRC)

Our SRC gives students the chance to be involved and practice leadership, teamwork and communication. Students are elected by their peers (or selected by their teachers if in Kindergarten). We select SRCs in Term 1 and Term 3.

Music tuition

Our students can learn music during school time through the Riverina Conservatorium of Music. There are a large range of musical instruments that can be explored and all are taught by trained music teachers.

Student leadership

When students are in Year 5, they have the opportunity to be nominated as School Captain, Vice Captain or a School Prefect. Year 5 students start this process in Term 4, in preparation for their final year at school.

Athletics carnival

Each year, our students compete in the LAPS annual athletics carnival. Our athletics carnival promotes school spirit, fitness and confidence.

Debating and public speaking

Students at LAPS have the chance to learn and practise the skill of debating by joining our debate team. This opportunity is usually offered to Stage 3 students. Students can participate in competitions held between local schools.

Choir

Students have the opportunity to join our school choir.

Our choir performs at school, community events and special concerts.
