Approved alternatives to the Co-Curricular Program.
We recognise that changes to secondary school at Year 10 or Year 11 can interrupt plans that have been made previously. We also encourage students to continue to pursue their own interests and passions, therefore, the following options are offered to cater for these students.
These opportunities are included in the web preferences list. Once the application has been approved, the student’s co-curricular program will be finalised with them on an individual basis to cater for the time they need to complete this activity.
Elite Sports - Students competing at a National Level. VET Subjects - Students studying an additional VET subject. Special Projects - Students selected for Science Fair. Adopt as your fundamental creed that you will equip yourself for life, not solely for your own benefit, but for the benefit of the whole community.
Primary School Outreach Programs.
These flagship projects allow JMSS students to develop leadership and responsibility by developing and teaching skills to primary school groups each week. 4 different primary schools, with 4 students from grade 5 or 6, attend JMSS and are taught Science, Maths, or Robotics by our students. This incredible opportunity is one of our most popular and rewarding subjects.
- Little Scientists
- Mini Mathematicians
- Robogals
RoboGals is run in association with RoboGals Monash and RoboGals Australia.

Opportunity to explore mathematics.
Following on from the success of the “Little Scientists" program, JMSS offered a new program in 2018 called "Mini Mathematicians" which is aimed at providing primary school students with the opportunity to explore mathematics and problem solving like real mathematicians do. The Mini Mathematicians program has been incredibly successful.
Delivered by passionate mathematics and science students.
Sessions are focussed on building problem solving skills and students’ ability to communicate mathematics and science effectively. Feedback from schools, teachers, Principals, parents and students has been overwhelmingly positive. In light of this, JMSS will offer the program again, and is seeking Expressions of Interest from primary schools who may wish to participate.
