International language study takes place in coeducational settings, with students and visiting peers from sister schools engaging in language study. These international and intercultural activities are integrated into Churchie's cocurricular and extension offerings.
Interhouse competitions and carnivals run across the cocurricular programme, providing diverse social and competitive opportunities. Social sport fixtures with girls' schools, such as touch football and netball, foster interaction between Churchie and partner schools. Dances occur twice a year and Senior Formal and the Churchie Ball are major social events for students and their partners.
Service activities run throughout the year and include events like the Sony Camp, where Churchie boys and St Margaret's girls work together to support students with disabilities. Year 9 programmes include cadets and service activities such as local land restoration, visits to aged-care homes and toy manufacture for disadvantaged children. Participation in the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award is available to recognise leadership and service achievements.
The Year 9 Personal Development and Leadership programme engages Year 9 boys in leadership and development experiences, with weekly cadet or service activities and opportunities to earn the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. Years 11 and 12 leadership development is delivered through the pastoral curriculum and outdoor education, with senior students mentoring younger peers and taking on duties within their house and the School. These programs build leadership capacity across the student body.
Outdoor Education forms an integral part of the curriculum, immersing students in annual expeditions and experiences in nature, with the philosophy of learning by doing. The programmes are developed from Years 6 to 10 to build self‑reliance, interdependence and leadership, while emphasising environmental stewardship. The Vision Valley Residential Programme for Year 9, run in partnership with Pymble Ladies' College, provides a four-week coeducational experience focused on personal growth and teamwork. Students also participate in cocurricular sports including rowing, rugby, cross country, swimming, track and field, tennis, volleyball and water polo.
