Berakah Miniatures Show Team

The NCC Berakah Miniatures Show Team (BMST) is one of the College’s many exceptional co-curricular activities available to our students (from Year 7 and above). The team trains between 12-16 horses and competes in many local shows. Students learn not only how to take care of and train the horses but also how to work as a team and develop leadership and character-building skills difficult to obtain in a standard school setting.

To learn more about the BMST team and experience, take a look at our BMST Brochure here.

A “coached chess” group

• Session starts at 3.05pm and finishes at 4.30pm. From 3.30pm – 4.30pm these students will receive directed teaching / smaller group instruction in streamed groups with the assistance of an external Chess coach.
