Co-Curricular Activities

St Austin's Academy offers a large number of co-curricular activities after school. The emphasis in all Junior School activities is on participation and recreation, moving through into Lower Secondary where performance becomes encouraged, to Upper Secondary where the focus is on the elite level and on competition.
