Clubs and Societies

Happiness - Success - Community

We are immensely proud of the numerous clubs and societies that run at St. Olave’s, many of which are jointly led by senior students.

Offering over 40 co-curricular activities, there truly is something for everyone!  All who join St. Olave’s are expected and encouraged to play a full part in this rich school life.

Our Olavians have the opportunity to build on existing talents and develop new skills and interests, widening their friendship groups and fostering teamwork, resilience and a sense of community throughout the school.

There are regular school concerts and drama productions as well as a wide range of orchestras, ensembles, bands and choirs. Individual tuition is also available on a wide range of instruments.

Throughout the school, breaktime, lunchtime and after school activities include a plethora of subject based clubs, societies, curriculum study groups, language clubs, debating, robotics, environmental, computing, chess, music rehearsals, and numerous sporting activities.

Regular after school and weekend sports fixtures take place as well as the ever popular popular Duke of Edinburgh Award Schemes, World Challenge and Operation Wallacea.

In addition, the school’s ‘Le Chavetois Society’ regularly raises money and carries out voluntary work in the local community. We are proud to continue this tradition which has supported the community in this way, since the First World War.

Each year, as part of the extra-curricular programme, students have the opportunity to undertake a variety of overseas tours and expeditions. A large number of trips and visits are organised on a regular basis, including art gallery visits, geography field trips, rugby and cricket tours (both home and abroad), and modern language trips throughout Europe.

Clubs such as Chess, VEX Robotics, F1 In Schools and Target 2.0 regularly successfully complete at regional and national level.

Many of our societies produce regular journals and publications which are of an impressively high standard. These are available to view via the following link:
