There's a possibility that these programs do exist.  I've noticed 
that in the books, we really only get a sense of things that affect 
Harry directly.  For example, Hogsmeade visits are never even 
mentioned until Harry's class has the opportunity to go there.  Maybe 
all we hear about is Quidditch and the electives that HRH are 
interested in.  Who says, for example, there aren't upperclassmen 
taking Gobbledegook?  Maybe there are other extra-curriculars that 
aren't as popular to watch as Quidditch.  Just a thought for the 
Pensieve.
