Clubs, Teams and Groups

Willetton Senior High School is a vibrant place with much to do outside of normal classes.

 

If students have a special interest, they are likely to find a club, team or group that offers an opportunity to unleash inner talent, and have a great time with other like-minded students.

Book Club

The Willetton Book Club meets fortnightly to deep-dive into our favourite reads!

 

In Book Club, we discuss the latest novels, select a book for reading then discuss the merits of the novel at our meetings.

 

Book Club runs every Wednesday lunchtime in D6, starting from Week 4, Term 3.

Chess & Cubing Club

The Chess & Cubing Club meets once a week at lunchtime. It is a social chess group, however, there is the opportunity to compete in both school based and state wide competitions. No chess experience is necessary to join this group and all students are welcome.

 

The Rubik’s Cube has 43 billion billion different combinations and takes most people months to only partially solve. The Rubik’s Cube Club members learn and practice methods of speed solving this amazing puzzle. Within a semester, with a little practise you will be able to complete the cube in around two minutes. Our best students achieve times between 8 and 15 seconds.

No cubing experience is needed and all students are welcome.
