Co-curricular programs

Sport at Korowa plays a central role in supporting students’ physical wellbeing, confidence and teamwork. Through Physical Education, school sport and co-curricular opportunities, students are encouraged to develop positive, lifelong relationships with physical activity.

Opportunities range from House competitions to inter-school and intra-school sport, as well as Club Sports including Netball, Basketball, Snowsports, Rowing and our unique Golf program, delivered in partnership with the Australian Women’s Golf Network (AWGN).

Regardless of experience or ability, every student is encouraged to participate, challenge herself and enjoy the social and personal benefits of sport within a supportive school environment.

Music at Korowa offers students the opportunity to participate, perform and excel across a wide range of instrumental and vocal ensembles. Students of all abilities are welcomed, whether they are discovering music for the first time or pursuing advanced performance.

Ensembles include choirs, orchestra, wind symphony, stage band, jazz, strings, saxophone and rock bands, providing diverse pathways for musical expression.

Private tuition is available through the Korowa Music School on a broad range of instruments, enabling students to develop technical skill, confidence and a lifelong appreciation of music. Performance opportunities throughout the year foster discipline, collaboration and artistic growth.

Dance and Drama at Korowa encourage creativity, confidence and collaboration through rich performance experiences. Students can take part in school productions, plays, dance showcases and concerts, building skills both on and off the stage. A major School Production is staged annually, alternating between Years 7-9 and Senior year levels, with Junior School productions held biennially.

Beyond productions, students can engage through Junior School and Senior Dance Clubs, the Junior School After School Drama Club, the Performing Arts Committee, and the Korowa Lyrical Dance Competition Troupe. These opportunities nurture confidence, imagination and leadership from an early age. Through performance and collaboration, students develop communication skills, resilience and a strong sense of self-expression.

Debating at Korowa develops confident thinkers and articulate speakers. Students from Years 8 to 12 compete in the Debating Association of Victoria’s Schools Competition, with additional opportunities through inter-House and staff-student debates.

Through debating, students learn to research deeply, analyse complex issues, structure arguments and respond thoughtfully under pressure. These skills support academic success across subjects and build confidence for interviews, leadership roles and future study. Debating at Korowa fosters intellectual curiosity, respectful discourse and the ability to think critically and independently.

Korowa’s STEM Academy brings together a range of co-curricular science, technology, engineering and mathematics opportunities under one connected program. Designed for students with curiosity and a desire to explore how ideas work in practice, the Academy supports hands-on learning, problem-solving and collaboration beyond the classroom.

Through activities such as engineering challenges, robotics, coding, applied design and competitive programs, students develop technical skills alongside confidence, teamwork and critical thinking. The STEM Academy reflects Korowa’s commitment to providing girls with authentic experiences that encourage innovation, experimentation and an understanding of how STEM connects to real-world contexts.

Community service is an important part of how students learn to engage with the world beyond themselves. Through a range of initiatives, partnerships and student-led projects, girls are encouraged to contribute with empathy, responsibility and purpose.

Service opportunities develop leadership, social awareness and a sense of connection, helping students understand how they can make a meaningful difference.
