A standout of our offerings is a treasured tradition unique to Pembroke: our beloved Teddy Bear-Making Program. Students at Pembroke have been making bears for donation since 1987. Thousands of teddies have been sent all over Australia and around the world to help those in need, including young children involved in vehicle accidents, families devastated by natural disasters and children airlifted by the Royal Flying Doctor Service. It is a truly beautiful co-curricular activity that upholds Pembroke鈥檚 commitment to serving others.
Pembroke also has the distinction of being among a select few schools in Australia with a dedicated Scout Group. Our program includes Pembroke Joeys (5 - 8 years old), Pembroke Cubs (8 - 11 years old), Pembroke Scouts (11 - 14 years old) and Pembroke Venturers (14 - 18 years old).
In addition, Pembroke is one of Australia鈥檚 largest school facilitators of the Duke of Edinburgh鈥檚 International Award, with up to 700 participants at any one time guided by a dedicated staff leader.
A recent addition to our co-curricular landscape is our Community Languages Program, allowing many students to learn their heritage language at school. Currently, we offer Mandarin Chinese, French, Hindi, Italian and Polish in Junior School and we are working to expand our options. Further to this, Latin is a co-curricular elective in Years 5 to 9.
