The SJIS campus is a lively environment where a detailed program of activity takes place across the year. From cultural celebrations, to concerts, club activities and festivals, there’s so much to experience and fun to be had at school.

Children arrive at school by 8.30am to start learning at 8.50am, with the day officially finishing at 3.20pm. We offer a range of after-school activities and some seasonal clubs for students in the older grades, including cooking, book club, craft and science.

At SJIS, we take great pride in offering a diverse range of clubs and activities that enrich our students’ experiences. From inter-school debating and sporting programs to visits with other international schools and cultural exchanges, our students are constantly engaged in meaningful and fun opportunities. We are also honoured to participate in IPSHA (Independent Primary School Heads of Australia) Sporting Carnivals and art displays, allowing our students to collaborate and compete with other independent schools across NSW. Additionally, twice a year, our students embark on exciting local excursions, providing valuable learning experiences beyond the classroom.

Cultural learning comes to life in creative and fun ways at SJIS, from Star Festival (Tanabata Matsuri) to Children’s Day, Sports Day and more. These activities are a wonderful way for the broader school community to come together and deepen connections across the school.
