Our school has many clubs and activities that usually take place during lunch time. They also have the opportunity to play in the orchestra or a smaller ensemble. There is a very wide range of extra-curricular activities that effectively enrich the taught curriculum. There is a large choir and orchestra. The very extensive and successful programme of sports and gymnastics is a particular strength of the school.
Teachers give generously of their time and activities are very popular with pupils.
Basketball, Cricket, Athletics, Cross-Country, Netball, Rounders, Football, Rugby, Swimming, Hockey, Tennis and Badminton. Over 200 pupils are involved each year. The confidence, poise and skill of the pupils participating is most impressive. They practise during dinnertime and after school as part of the Gymnastics Club. The Gymnastics Festival is an outstanding event at Painsley Catholic High School.
