Somerset Senior Sport
By Candice McKenna, Acting Director of Sport
Round 1 for APS saw Somerset up against King's Christian College in Week 8. Results can be found under resources.
Senior School
The first thing which strikes many people about Somerset College is the warmth of relationships between our students and the mutual respect between students and our staff. These characteristics are developed in myriad ways each and every day.
Learning within the classroom is inclusive, engaging and encourages collaboration. Opportunities beyond the classroom include a broad range of sports and cultural pursuits, and progressive outdoor education and service learning programmes.
There really is an opportunity for every child to develop a passion in the knowledge they will be well supported as their talents develop. This extends into our pastoral care programme and our focus on student wellbeing with continuity of care throughout the student’s time in the Senior School.
