Charleville School of Distance Education offers a range of field events and whole-school experiences for students from Prep to Year 10. These events are an important part of school life and support learning, wellbeing, and connection across the year.
Kickstart Conference (Term 1)
Held early in Term 1, the Kickstart Conference is hosted at Charleville School of Distance Education and invites students and Home Tutors to Charleville for a week of intensive workshops focused on learning and skill development across a range of areas.
Home Tutors participate in sessions designed to build networks and deepen their understanding of curriculum delivery and teaching strategies, supporting them in their important role in the schoolroom.
Students attend daily sessions and work with their class teacher, as well as external facilitators. Swimming lessons form part of the Kickstart program, delivered by trained instructors.
Students do not stay overnight during Kickstart. Parents or Home Tutors stay in town with students and return each day for the scheduled sessions.
Whole School Muster Week (Term 2)
Held in Term 2, Whole School Muster Week brings students, families, and staff together in Charleville for a week of face-to-face learning, connection, and school spirit.
The week is based at the Charleville Racecourse Complex, where students participate in learning activities, wellbeing sessions, cultural experiences, and team-building activities. Students are welcome to stay overnight at the venue.
The week concludes with the Sports Muster (athletics carnival), where students proudly represent their house in a range of track and field events.
Cluster Muster (Term 3)
Cluster Musters are held in Term 3 and provide opportunities for students to connect face-to-face with peers and staff closer to where they live. These events focus on social interaction, engagement, and strengthening relationships within local clusters.
Minischool (Term 4)
Minischool takes place in early Term 4 and provides a valuable opportunity for students and teachers to work together in person in a classroom-style setting. Minischool is based at the Charleville Racecourse Complex, with accommodation and activities located on site. Students are welcome to stay overnight at the venue.
During the day, students participate in classroom learning, group challenges, team sports, and swimming lessons delivered by trained instructors.
Evening activities are designed to be fun and engaging, helping students build friendships and confidence.

At the end of Term 4, the school hosts a series of events to celebrate student achievement and bring the school community together.

Home Visits (As required)
