IGNITE Co-curricular
The Ignite Co-Curricular Program at KRB
At Kincoppal – Rose Bay, the Ignite Co-Curricular program is a cornerstone of our commitment to educating the whole child. It offers students from ELC to Year 12 a diverse range of opportunities to challenge themselves beyond the classroom, discover new interests, and pursue excellence in a balanced and meaningful way.
The program is structured around five key areas:
• Intellectual Pursuits and Challenges
• Creative and Performing Arts
• Community and Service
• Global Future Competencies
• Sport and Movement
These interconnected areas allow students to grow in confidence, resilience, and character while developing leadership, time-management, and collaboration skills. Academic research supports the value of co-curricular engagement, showing that students who participate in such programs experience improved academic achievement, enhanced self-esteem, and stronger social development.
At KRB, we believe that excellence is best achieved through balance, where academic rigour is complemented by rich, real-world experiences that help students flourish. The Ignite program is not just an extension of learning; it’s a vital part of what makes a KRB education unique.
