Co-curricular

A wide range of co-curricular programs is open to students to complement the School's holistic learning opportunities. The School encourages excellence in sporting, music and performing arts arenas, and promotes the values of working together and being respectful of others.

Students develop initiative and enhance their leadership skills through Abbotsleigh's Duke of Edinburgh program, debating and public speaking, and involvement in co-curricular clubs. 

Girls can also opt to take extended tuition classes via AbbSchool programs.

Extended tuition

Studies have shown that involvement in extended tuition can promote a sense of engagement with school, which in turn has a positive influence on achievement, attendance and aspiration to higher levels of education. Extended tuition provides opportunities for leadership and personal growth and teaches the value of teamwork, competition and responsibility.

At Abbotsleigh, AbbSchool is made up of two important areas within the Abbotsleigh community: extended tuition and the school holiday program. The purpose of AbbSchool is to encourage participation, fun and friendship through a range of exciting activities. 

The opportunities are not limited to girls who attend the School. Adult courses, the holiday program and some extended tuition courses are also available to the wider community including parents, friends, siblings (including boys) and residents from the local area. 

AbbSchool's extensive range of activities and courses covers a variety of topics. For full details on all our programs, please download the AbbSchool or Music Extended Tuition booklets for 2023 below.
