After School Clubs
Many of the dedicated staff members of Comet Bay College give up their personal time after school to run FREE Clubs and Groups for the students.
They share their knowledge and passion for co-curricular activities to encourage interesting experiences and learning opportunities for all involved.
College Radio
The Comet Bay College Radio is broadcast Monday to Friday, every recess and lunchtime.
CBC Radio is a cross-curricular initiative to engage students with the College Motto, “Seek Excellence”, through music and dialogue.
Our presenters are student volunteers who run regular broadcasts, playing music requests and updating students with announcements about activities and events. They encourage students to seek excellence by following the College rules and earning VIVO points.”
Any student is eligible to join, however positions are currently full.

The Comet Bay College Coder Dojo was created to allow students interested in learning computer coding to participate in a wide range of coding activities. It provides opportunities to learn coding techniques and create computer games.
