We believe extra-curricular activities are an excellent way to extend what our students learn in the classroom. They’re also fantastic at stimulating intellectual curiosity and encouraging students to take care of their mind and body. All of which helps to develop independent, confident, curious and lifelong learners who go on to fulfil their potential and do great things in their adult life.
We offer our MYP students a comprehensive programme of extra-curricular activities to enjoy throughout the school year. ECAs provide students with lots of free opportunities to explore new interests, develop high levels of skill in existing interests, and develop IB learner profile traits such as caring and risk taking, which may not be easily developed in a classroom setting.
A handful of activities require a fee for participation in external competition or specialist facilities.
Actors Club
Students take part in drama games and activities that build towards rehearsals for school plays and musicals.
Creative Writers Club
Students work independently and together to create poetry and short stories, and participate in other media activities.
