This program is designed to develop a student’s individual communication skills and performance techniques. The skills of oracy (reading, listening and speaking) are emphasised to enable students to develop clarity and confidence in all areas of oral communication. Private lessons are also available.
Sport and physical activity are essential to general health and wellbeing. At Korowa we encourage positive physical activity behaviour through School sport, Physical Education, recreation and leisure time activities both at school and through community and club links outside school.
There’s something for everyone from House sport competitions to inter-school and intra-school sporting opportunities, as well as the Club Sports at Korowa including Netball, Basketball, Snowsports and Rowing. Regardless of skill level, students have the opportunity to participate, it’s a great way to make new friends, have fun and stay fit.

Korowa competes in the Debating Association of Victoria’s Schools Competition with teams from Years 8-12. Students can also participate in inter-House debates held at Korowa, or staff-student debates.
Debating develops confidence in public speaking, is invaluable for interviews later in life, fosters the ability to analyse and research topics, serves as an excellent aid to essay writing and stimulates the ability to ‘think on one’s feet’. It is also great fun!
