At ELTHAM we have a number of co-curricular groups and activities that involve an awareness and care for the COMMUNITY.
CHINESE HUB
Welcome to our dynamic Chinese Hub, where students actively participate in co-curricular activities that seamlessly integrate language learning with the richness of Chinese culture. This hub will be led by Chinese teachers and senior school students and who are passionate about language learning and are keen to promote a diverse learning environment at ELTHAM College. From interactive Mandarin workshops and cultural celebrations to calligraphy, brush painting, and traditional Chinese art, our diverse program offers a blend of linguistic proficiency and cultural immersion. Join us on this holistic journey where language and cultural appreciation converge for an enriching co-curricular experience.
Available for students in Year 5 – 12.
ENVIRONMENT ACTION GROUP
Students from the Senior school are invited to join the Environment Action Group to become active members to raise awareness and to plan and implement activities with the environment as the central focus. This will include activities for Junior and Senior school students to connect and participate in activities to improve our environment across ELTHAM College.
The Environment Action Group supports student-led initiatives to “Act Local and Think Global”.

FRENCH BUDDIES CLUB
The French Buddies Club is a peer mentoring initiative designed to strengthen connections between Year 10 and Year 11 French students. This club provides a relaxed and supportive environment where Year 11 students mentor and guide Year 10 students through their language learning journey. Held during Monday lunchtimes, the sessions include fun French-themed activities, collaborative learning, and opportunities for students to ask questions, receive help, and practice their French in an informal setting. It’s a great way to build confidence, reinforce classroom learning, and foster a strong sense of community among French learners.
Available for students in Year 10 – 11.
MODEL UNITED NATIONS
