Our extra-curricular highlights
Commitment to Indigenous Culture and Community
Niland is committed to creating an inviting, community-driven environment where all students feel valued and supported. With more than 30% of our students identifying as Indigenous, we work closely with families, staff, and Elders to ensure Aboriginal culture, knowledge, and perspectives are honoured throughout the school. Together, we support our First Custodians by sharing, celebrating, and teaching cultural traditions, histories, and ways of learning in meaningful and respectful ways..
Work Training
At Niland School, we place a strong emphasis on Work Education, providing students with the opportunity to engage in weekly work training sessions. These sessions focus on developing skills in café operations, hospitality, cooking, and gardening. Additionally, our senior students have the option to participate in external work training placements, allowing them to further enhance their competencies in retail, gardening and landscaping, beauty, and office administration.
Trips and excursions
At Niland School, trips and excursions are an important part of our learning program. We believe that stepping outside the classroom allows students to explore new places, try new experiences, and discover real-world connections to what they learn at school. These opportunities help students build confidence, develop independence, and deepen their understanding of the world around them, all while creating memories that enrich their educational journey.
