Extra-Curriculum

Students at Roydvale School are fortunate to be offered a wealth of opportunities to spark their interests, feed their enthusiasm and extend their creativity. Whether it is a programme offered as part of the curriculum or extra-curricular activities, the range offered goes towards creating well-rounded individuals with a richness of experience.

A music specialist ensures every class receives weekly music lessons of the highest quality. A choir operates in the school and the children who form this perform at the annual Christchurch Schools' Music Festival and the North-West Music Festival. In addition to this, tuition in clarinet, flute, violin, guitar, keyboard and drums is available on site.

A 'Green Team' ensures that Roydvale's attractive outdoor environment is maintained by promoting recycling as an everyday event at the school.

A variety of sports are offered at Roydvale. The popularity of basketball continues to flourish as a result of the success of our teams in the North West Competitions. Year 5 and 6 students have either participated this winter in the Christchurch Primary Schools Thursday Sport Competitions at Hagley Park or in two sporting options of golf at the Russley Golf Club or mountain biking. During summer Y5/6 children have the opportunity to participate in Canterbury cricket's Milo Trophy and Milo Shield competitions, while children from across the school can participate in summer hockey and touch rugby competitions.

Opportunities for success also exist with Chess and French operating outside of classroom time allowing children to extend their existing skills or develop new ones.
