Beyond Academics
The goal of our school is to provide holistic education by balancing academics with extracurricular activities. The syllabus is designed to make learning less stressful for the students without compromising quality. That’s why our school has created clubs that cater to various interests. We at our school believe in the importance of club activities for students because of these important reasons:
1).Students learn from each other .Whether they are working on one project or separately, everyone is able to learn from each other during club activities. They are not only receiving insights from their teachers or club advisers but also from their classmates and peers. They gain new perspectives and also learn the importance of respecting another person’s viewpoint.
2.)They let students discover the value of unity.
School clubs create small communities. They attract people who share the same interests such as in music, arts, or sports. Club activities help students develop sense of unity and teamwork, learning how to work with others in reaching the same goals.
3).They help learners develop social skills.
Clubs enable students to meet, mix, and collaborate with other students from different backgrounds in a different environment. They are pushed outside of their comfort zone and encouraged to socialise with people they are not very familiar with. Though the first meetings and activities may seem awkward for them, they will soon form meaningful relationships and friendships, which is vital in the lives of adolescents.
Students become more confident and independent.
4).Our school provide plenty of opportunities for students to take on leadership roles and show off their talents through club activities. Thanks to these, they are able to discover that they can actually be productive and successful in many other ways outside the classroom. This boosts their level of confidence and their sense of independence.
