Co-curricular Activities

Sport

Sport at NVCCS involves a variety of opportunities to develop and enjoy competing. A diversified co-curricular program provides students with participation in both team and individual competition. The school also supplies occasions for progressive pathways as well as challenge and recreational sporting endeavours.

NVCCS is a part of the Christian Schools Sports Association and competes in annual North Coast Zone interschool gala days and carnivals. Fundamental movement skills are honed through in-house weekly sport periods which vary from surfing to ultimate frisbee tournaments.

School carnivals are alive with enthusiasm and cheering from the school’s three sport houses: Joshua (Gold), Gideon (green) and David (blue). Each house is led by both Secondary and Primary captains kindling eagerness as well as organisation for every student to contribute. One of the highlights of the year is the cross-country carnival run along the beautiful Nambucca Heads V-wall walk. Based at Bellwood Park, year groups rotate around activities ranging from jumping castles, canoeing and fishing.

Ultimately, we see sport as another aspect of life to cultivate and enjoy the gifts and talents God has given us. At NVCCS we hope to nurture a lifelong love of physical activity, fostering a strong sense of fair play, team spirit and perseverance to achieve. 

Music

Nambucca Valley Christian Community School endeavours to equip students in experiencing and developing the fundamentals of music. We offer a variety of opportunities for students to unwrap and explore the gift of music, become proficient in performance and develop a heart for serving others.

Co-curricular music offers students a diverse range of opportunities to explore and reach their potential. The program provides intensive one on one study of a chosen instrument for extension and enrichment of musical gifts in conjunction with the mandatory and elective classes. Ensembles encourage students to serve, communicate and express themselves musically. They gain valuable experience, deepen their understanding and gain appreciation of the art form.

In Senior School, students are encouraged to participate in ensembles to promote teamwork, perseverance, experience and service. Ensembles are open to all students who are interested in singing or playing an instrument. Opportunities are available for beginners to more advanced players.

Participation in an ensemble is strongly advised for all students that undertake the elective music course. The additional time making music will enhance their aural and theoretical knowledge as well as their performance experience and techniques.

Each ensemble performs at various school events and functions, community gatherings as well as having the privilege of sharing the gift of music with senior members in our local nursing homes.

For more specific information, please feel free to contact the school and arrange a time to speak to our Director of Music.

Performing Arts

Our School’s Performing Arts program exhibits one of the best comprehensive designs on the North Coast. The ever-expanding department encourages students of all abilities to develop their God given gifts under the guidance of a passionate team of teaching professionals.

Our new Performing Arts Centre boasts a beautiful new multi-purpose teaching area, optional small theatre space, dance studio, recording studio, office, storeroom and 5 small studio rooms. We have a thriving peripatetic program with a broad range of instruments for individual tuition on offer. Regular performances are featured throughout our school year.

Students are given a smorgasbord of options including small ensembles, choirs, orchestra, drama performances, dance presentations, stage productions, assemblies, HSC showcase, as well as several performance nights throughout the year.

Stage Productions

The School embarks on a new stage production (drama/musical) bi-annually. During the establishment of our high school, 2015 saw the successful production of “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” and in 2017 “Anne of Green Gables”. The Junior school also presented their own musical “Play Ball” in 2018. This production resulted in optimal participation and many of our younger students enjoyed being part of an exciting process and presentation. During 2018 our Multi-purpose Auditorium was built with the completion just in time for our next presentation.

In 2019 we undertook a new musical, “Jam Jar Sonnets” and in 2021 'My Girl' that proved to be a great success for all involved. Having our own space for both rehearsals and the final product is a great blessing.
