Extra-Curricular Activities
Primary School
Our after school programme offers students from EY1 to Grade 5 a wide variety of activities to further develop their interests and hobbies outside of the curriculum. These activities are offered to allow students to broaden their ideas and further develop such areas as sports and the arts, plus supporting our academic programme with homework clubs and tutorial activities. Activities are offered from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
These activities are optional and are taught by both internal and external teachers. Extracurricular classes cover a range of activities including ICT, languages, arts & crafts, sports, technology, dance and music. Students may sign up for the workshops and classes at the beginning of each term. Parents will be informed of when the extracurricular programme sign up is available on the portal. The online sign up includes all course outlines, costs and procedure and will be shared to all primary school parents prior to each session. Please contact the Athletics and Activities department for further details.
All students participating in teams will be expected to keep up with their school work in class and behave appropriately when representing the school at both practices and games. Students who are not managing to maintain these expectations may lose their team privileges.
Secondary School
Sports are a great way to develop a healthy lifestyle and relationships outside the classroom. Schedules for teams vary, but practices are either before school or after school at 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm and teams meet two to three times a week. Students are encouraged to participate in as many sport teams as possible.
In addition to sporting clubs and teams, other activities are also available during the academic year, such as Secondary School Student Council, competitive dance and band teams, and drama productions. Meeting times for these clubs may differ and students should contact the Athletics and Activities department for any updates.
Sport teams and activities end at designated times and we cannot provide supervision for students afterwards. You should make adequate transportation arrangements for after activities.
All students must be in good academic standing to be excused from school to participate in an extracurricular event, and their academic standing will be verified by teachers prior to any release from normally scheduled class time. Students absent from school during the day may not participate in that day’s after-school activities.
Field/Residential Trips
Field trips are used extensively throughout as a vital link to bringing greater understanding to the principles being taught in the classroom. They provide stimulation to promote inquiry by introducing students to topics and link learning to everyday life. In addition to regular day field trips, we organize overnight residential trips which may last several days. Grade 6 and Grade 7 will participate in a four-day trip whilst students from Grade 8-9 will participate in week-long residential trips. These trips form a vital part of the curriculum. Residential trips typically are scheduled in January or February. Parents will be asked to sign a permission form covering all day trips, and another for the residential/overnight trips.
