Do Something!
More than Co-curricular
We know that when you’re passionate about something you’ll learn. We have an expansive range of experiences outside the regular classroom, with something to suit you wherever your enthusiasm lies.
Other schools call this co-curricular or extra-curricular, at Guilford we call it
DoSomething!@GYC
So many options. Something for everyone
We know that being involved in a co-curricular or extra-curricular activity will lead to a more enjoyable, more valuable and more connected life at College. Your extra-curricular involvement is every bit as important to your education as the courses you study.
We have more than fifty options on offer – the full range of sports, a wide range of service and leadership opportunities, many committees and clubs, Catholic Social Action through Vinnies, L’Arche and OzBosco, opportunities to be involved in Drama and the Musical, live performance in drama and music, the Duke of Edinburgh program, lunchtime concerts and inter-house competitions. There’s something for everyone.

Creative Arts
If you're a creative person we have a place for you.
The creative arts provide great options for students who lack space in their formal education for a creative outlet. Some of the options offered include various bands, a rock challenge, theatre appreciation, choir and life drawing classes.
There are also lots of opportunities to be involved in the College's annual musical production. A definite College highlight!
Community and Service
We are motivated to action by our values.
We are inspired by our Catholic values to live justly, be compassionate, care for the natural world, serve others in need and work for peace. Our students provide service leadership through community-based projects and partnerships.
Active volunteering occurs in class time through Religious Education electives, through our College, Campus and House based fundraising and awareness raising activities.
Clubs and Societies
We know that friendship groups often share similar passions and interests.
Whether it's debating, chess, board games or something more obscure we've got a variety of clubs and societies the to help you find your people.
Other groups include robotics, modern languages, ethics olympiad, philosophy and an art, literature and film society.
“Having the chance to participate in our DoSomething!@GYC program teaches you all kinds of life lessons. It gives young people confidence and instils in them motivation and drive to be the best they can be.”
