High School Grades 8 – 12
At Pinnacle College Rynfield, there is an emphasis on giving our Students additional experiences that you would not normally expect in a traditional schooling environment. For the first hour of every Day 4 on the timetable, we literally get the students “OUT OF THE BOX” and allow them to choose from a host of activities that they would not normally experience.
They choose a specific activity for a Term and then choose a new activity for the next Term. These activities are not Grade specific and as such, the Students are given the opportunity to engage with other Students in higher and/or lower Grades. This offers and whole new level of social interaction and camaraderie in the High School.
The types of activities on offer include:
Touch Rugby; Mosaics; Cross-Fit; Song Group; Swimming; Mountain Biking; Theatre Make-up; Paper Craft; Volleyball; Yoga; Mural Painting; Hockey; Golf; Basketball; Tennis; Trail Running; E-Sports; Laser-Run (Biathlon) and many more.
