MUSIC
Music plays an important role at St. Olave's. In addition to curriculum tuition, there are very many opportunities here for Olavians to develop musical abilities and enthusiasms which we hope they will carry with them throughout their lives.
SPORTS
St. Olave's offers a plethora of opportunities to allow students to engage in different sporting activities at school, with clubs running at lunchtime and after school, alongside the standard curriculum.These clubs are run by members of the PE department, external specialists and Sport's Prefects.
DRAMA
A number of extra-curricular productions take place during the year. We alternate between a musical and a play for our main school show, with recent productions including ‘Guys and Dolls’,’The Crucible’ and ‘Les Miserables’. On the years we have a whole school play, we also have an additional production of extracts from different musicals to provide opportunities for singing and dancing. These large scale school productions are supplemented by student-directed plays, with recent offerings including ‘Our Town’ and ‘Twelfth Night’.
