At Carmel we offer an extensive enrichment programme which enables students to enhance and extend their own personal development.
Engaging in an enrichment programme is a great way to meet likeminded people and to enrich and support your overall college experience. The enrichment programme can provide opportunities to stretch and challenge your academic ability, to develop leadership skills and to compete with others in a wide range of sporting activities.
Our enrichment programme is categorised as follows:
- Academic– A Super Curricular programme which supports students to reach academic and progression goals.
- Wellbeing & Competitive – An enriching programme which builds students’ confidence and resilience. Activities to enable all students to stay physically and mentally healthy. Sports and teams with a selection criteria. Compete, lead and represent Carmel.
