We are very fortunate at Samford State School to be able to offer our students a large variety of after school activities. We engage external parties to provide tuition in a variety of fields. The tutors all hold blue cards and insurance. Courses run on a term by term basis on school grounds from approx. 3.10pm for one hour per week. Whilst we host these classes, registration and all course related information must be obtained directly from the tutor.

Grasshopper Soccer program is a great complement to club soccer or a great alternative for those parents who want their kids to focus on developing skills without exposing them to competition. Children are divided into 3 groups according to age and skill level: Intro to Micro (5-6 yo), Micro (6-8 yo) and Micro Plus (8-12 yo). Participants will learn new ball skills every week with 3 fun and challenging games which will then culminate in a 'Big Game'. Kids from Micro Plus will be playing more challenging games that will teach them more about team play and positioning, while still keeping the fun in the game.
