ENHANCED LEARNING WITH AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

Our after-school Activities and Clubs Programme is designed to enhance student learning and personal development in line with our mission and vision.

We offer our grade 1-12 students a broad and diverse range of opportunities to:

• Learn new skills or enhance existing skills and interests
• Work with students from other classes and grades to make new friends
• Learn about the importance of commitment and become more resilient
• Develop creativity, independence, communication, and leadership skills through a variety of visual and performing arts, academic enrichment and service learning activities
• Develop empathy and advocate for others through service learning projects
• Work with peers and teachers to create an environmentally friendly school
• Develop an understanding and appreciation of living a balanced, healthy lifestyle
• Step out of their comfort zone and pursue a passion

Most activities are run by qualified staff with no additional costs to parents.
