Cromer Public School thrives on its music. At our school, we recognise that music education promotes discipline and self-control, improves students' self-esteem, enhances self-confidence and it is fun. Students are able to join the Junior or Senior Choir and are offered wonderful opportunities to sing at school and external events including School Spectacular at magnificent venues across Sydney. The students' hard work, enthusiasm and dedication have been rewarded with some impressive performance opportunities including;
Minecraft, coding and robotics clubs operate at lunchtime once a week. Students learn how to write simple computer code for sequencing, directional language, basic commands and programming.
Cromer Public School has a number of dance groups. There is a Junior Dance Group targeting Years 1-3, the Hip Hop Dance Group targeting Years 4-6 and the Senior Dance Group targeting Years 4-6. All groups have the opportunity to take part in a number of dance festivals throughout the year, including School Spectacular.
We have drama groups operating throughout the year. Both groups perform their pieces at the CAPA evening at the end of the year. All students work really hard on their pieces and contribute heavily to the creative process with their enthusiasm and ideas. We have many budding stars of the future.
Environment club meets weekly with a view to educating participants and the school community about environmental issues. Activities include the planting and harvesting of the school vegetable patch and recycling. The Environment club is instrumental in organising waste free Wednesday which raises awareness of the need to minimise lunchtime waste. Competitions are held to promote environmental issues and make the school community more vigilant in protecting the environment.
Lego club meets weekly with a view to design, collaborate and construct Lego creations to suit a set theme. Students can bring their own lego or use the school lego. The Lego Club is a great way to establish new friendships while reinforcing positive social skills through play.

These students participate in a selection process at school, similar to the one used in the actual competition, where both prepared and impromptu speeches are delivered by the entrants.
Students in Years 5 and 6 also participate in the Premier's Debating Challenge where teams from other schools debate each other with only an hour of unassisted preparation time. Our students have regularly been at or near the top of their zone for the last three years.
