​North Rockhampton High School offers a number of extra-curricular activities for students. These activities include instrumental music programs, lunch tutorials and inter-school sporting teams.

Work Exp​erience

This is made available to individual students on a needs-basis. 

Sport

In addition to physical education classes, students have the opportunity to play representative sport, at school level and beyond. North Rockhampton State High fields teams in such sports as cricket, netball, futsal, volleyball, basketball, rugby league, soccer, hockey and others.  Most interschool sport is played outside of school hours.  During each year, three major Carnivals are held on an Interhouse basis - Swimming (Term 1), Cross Country (Term 1) and Athletics (Term 2).  Age Champion and Champion House trophies are awarded.

Extended Learning Programs

We aim to provide meaningful extension activities for students with special interests and abilities. Extended Learning Programs are offered as part of some individual subjects and also offered across whole year levels. We also encourage students to become involved in activities which support their learning, eg. the Westpac Mathematics Competition, Australian Schools' Science Quiz, Opti-Minds,  Premiers Reading Challenge, Impact Extension Program etc.

Excursions and School Camps

​Excursions and camps are encouraged to supplement classroom learning. Where the excursion is an integral part of the course of study, students will be expected to attend.  Parents/guardians will be required to complete the necessary approvals where appropriate.

Instrumental Music​

Our school has an excellent reputation for its quality instrumental music program.  Instruction is available in all areas - brass, woodwind, percussion and strings.  North Rockhampton High's Concert Band, Stage Band, Middle School Band and String Orchestra are well known for their quality performance standards. Quality Music and Performing Arts facilities provide an excellent environment for students.

Student Council

The primary role of the Student Council is to act as a voice for the student body and to work towards its welfare.  Students from all year levels are represented; committees within the Council work in particular areas, eg. environment, community service and social functions.

Public Speaking

Students are encouraged to enter such contests as Apex Debating, Lions Youth of the Year, Plain Speaking, etc.

Cultural Activities

School Musicals and Concerts are part of the school's traditions.  Students are given many opportunities to be involved to use their talents.  Our various instrumental groups perform regularly both in our Performing Arts Centre and at outside venues.

Well-being Program

​All students at North Rockhampton State High School participate in a wellbeing learning program Yr7 – 12 which is underpinned by values and concern for student wellbeing.  This program helps shape the character and social fibre of our school community.
