The aims of co-curricular activities are to provide students with opportunities to explore areas beyond the normal curriculum and to develop new skills. Clubs on offer include cooking, arts & crafts, public speaking, chess, entrepreneurship, drama and fashion design.
Each week, all students have one hour a week devoted to CCAs. They sign up for a Term at a time, and are expected to switch to a new activity each Term to ensure breadth of experiences.
Progress and performance in CCAs are not formally assessed and do not count towards the students’ GPA. However, involvement in CCAs does contribute meaningfully to personal growth and overall school record. They can be used to provide depth and interest on university applications and as evidence of a student’s ‘well rounded’ character and capabilities.
