Beyond the classroom, our extra-curricular offerings empower students to discover what inspires them, pursue interests, develop fresh talents, and make a difference both on campus and in the wider community. We provide diverse, hands-on activities ranging from athletics and creative arts to academic support groups to help students build confidence, stay organised and feel connected to their peers.

Sporting Opportunities and Representative Pathways
Through our partnership with Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS), Year 5 and 6 students can enjoy a range of sporting opportunities, from inclusive interschool gala days to representative pathways that support talented athletes.
Students will have opportunities to represent Rosebank in athletics, cross-country and swimming, as well as football (soccer), netball and OzTag. SCS interschool gala days will also give every student the chance to participate, develop their skills and experience the enjoyment of team sport. Activities include AFL, soccer, netball, volleyball and newcombe ball.
For students competing at a higher level, SCS provides a pathway to representative honours through Catholic Schools NSW Sport, with opportunities to progress through MacKillop selections to state and national school sport championships.
Students with relevant sporting experience and demonstrated ability will be invited to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). SCS reviews submissions against the selection criteria and the wider pool of applicants, then invites shortlisted students to attend trials. Submitting an EOI does not guarantee an invitation to trial or selection in a team.

Year 5 students can explore their creativity and develop their performance skills through Rosebank’s performing arts opportunities. From musical ensembles to the stage, these experiences encourage students to build confidence, share their talents and form connections with students across year groups.
Concert Band
For students who already play a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument, Concert Band provides an exciting opportunity to develop ensemble skills and perform as part of a larger group. Year 5 students rehearse and perform alongside students in Years 7-9.
String Ensemble
String Ensemble is open to students who already play the violin, viola, cello, or double bass. Students will build their musicianship, confidence, and performance skills while rehearsing and performing with students in Years 7-8.
Middle School Musical
Held every two years, the Middle School Musical offers students the opportunity to perform on stage alongside Year 7 and 8 students. The next production will be in 2028, with audition information and application packs released at the end of 2027. Opportunities are available for performers, with an exciting chance to be part of a major school production.
