The Academy offers a wide range of co-curricular activities.
Our students are encouraged to embrace all opportunities to expand their personal experiences, further develop existing skills and explore passions. These activities increase each student’s sense of belonging, develop friendships and are a path to higher levels of motivation and engagement.
The three key areas at our College are Music, Dance, and Drama. Performing Arts at the Academy provides students with a space where they can freely express themselves and develop self-confidence and creativity.
Participation in the Academy’s various sports programs builds students’ skills in teamwork, diligence, self-care, and mutual respect for others.
Visual Arts at the Academy encourages students to express their visual artistic talents through digital and traditional art practices, such as, design, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, printmaking, fashion design and photography.
We enhance our students’ appreciation of art in both a social and cultural context by developing how they express and discuss opinions about art. Many of these conversations take place within some of Melbourne’s premier arts and culture centres. Our Visual Arts program also includes the annual Visual Arts Exhibition, visiting artists and enrichment programs.
Student-led Clubs at the Academy are both initiated and conducted by the students themselves, with support from staff members.
Academy students have the opportunity to develop their intercultural understanding with travel to our sister schools in Italy and Japan and cultural visits to France. Educational travel opens students respect for and understanding of different perspectives by connecting what they have studied at the Academy with real life experiences.
What better way to perfect another language than to travel to the country where it is spoken and interact with the people who live there. The Academy offers language subjects in Italian, Japanese, and French through to VCE level. Our sister school exchanges enable Academy girls to connect with students from Italy, Japan, and France in an experience that deepens their understanding of these different cultures and peoples.
The Academy of Mary Immaculate acknowledges the Wurendjeri people of the Kulin nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we learn. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future.
