At St Joachim’s Catholic Primary School Lidcombe, we are committed to developing the whole child.
Sport
Students’ take part in weekly high energy sport lessons with our sports curriculum delivered by ‘GOT GAME’. We provide a two week swimming program where students are skilled in basic and more challenging swimming levels. Students can represent the school at Cluster and Regional Carnivals.
Debating
Debating is a valuable form of communicating a certain position on a specific topic. It involves developing and presenting an argument in a team environment. Debating in a public forum fosters student confidence and cooperation.

Chess provides the opportunity to learn problem-solving skills, spatial awareness skills, improves memory and exercises both sides of the brain. A professional chess instructor tutors the students and they can compete in an inter-school chess tournament.
