Student opportunities and activities

French lessons

Our French teacher, Coco, is a native Parisian and has been teaching at the Alliance Française for 24 years, specializing in French language instruction for children. Coco uses the Les Loustics method, a dynamic and interactive approach that I’ve trusted for many years. This method combines songs, listening and reading comprehension, and early reading activities. Children love it because it makes learning French fun and engaging.

French class at Dulwich Hill School takes place on Friday mornings from 8.00 to 9.00 am.

To book your child into French classes please email: cocobesse92@gmail.com.

3D Printing

3D Printing classes are run by Simeon, an ex student of DHPS and a Dulwich Hill local. Simeon has been obsessed with designing products and using 3D printers for as long as he can remember. In this course Simeon will take what he has learnt from his experience with design and printing and bring it to the kids of DHPS. By using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and 3D printing he hopes to show students how to transform ideas into real products and learn valuable lessons in STEM.

During the course kids will design, model and print two products from their own imagination and at the end of the term they will have the opportunity to showcase their products and present their ideas to the class and parents.

3D Printing returns Term 4, on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. You have a choice of one or two hour session on either day .

Term cost for the one hour session is $220, or term cost for the two hour session is $320.

Inner West Drama

Inner West Drama classes are all about creative play.  The increasing structure in the lives of our children leaves little time for flights of fantasy and play. Inner West Drama offers kids a focused space in which they can play imaginatively through games and improvisation.  Play allows children to try out new tactics and behaviours in a safe and fun way which they can then take into the everyday.  In-class performances develop confidence, ensemble skills and practise presenting to a group. Most of all our class are fun and playful.
