The student activities programme is an integral part of the total school educational programme.

It is a progressive experience that will prepare students for their future.

School is more meaningful and enjoyable when a student becomes involved in the activities programme.

Whether the activity is being part of a club or an organization, a special interest group, or student government, it is an opportunity to make friends, to learn some important social skills, and to take part in fun activities.

Most of the activities require only an interest, some a try-out, others a special skill, but there is something for everyoneand new clubs and organizations are always welcome.The School embraces the importance of providing a well-balanced activities Programmeto augment the learning activities of the classroom.

Life lessons such as teamwork, goal-setting, time-management, sportsmanship, commitment, and leadership are taught through daily experiences and prepare students for future life challenges.

Opportunities are provided at all levels and include participation in activities such as publications, student government, performing arts, honour societies, and special interest clubs, in addition to opportunities for student growth and enrichment through athletics and sports.

Activities are implemented so that youth have greater opportunities for success in developing the attitudes, skills, knowledge, and abilities to live healthy lives, become productive adults, and to thrive in the workplaces and communities of the 21st century.

Impact: Research shows that youth with the opportunity to build positive peer and adult relationships have better school and community connectedness, better school attendance, increased social competence, and less substance abuse and behavioral issues. Research also indicates that school activities can markedly increase engagement in learning, improve academic achievement, and reduce behavioral issues.
