Extra Curricular Activities 2018

Introduction

Extra-curricular activities are an
important aspect in any school and
allows students to develop and
progress whilst doing something
they enjoy.

We believe that these activities
are an essential part of a
well-rounded education. Involvement in extra-curricular activities are
beneficial to students as they:

 Allow students to learn outside of lessons
 Helps them to develop communication, social, leadership and

teambuilding skills

 Helps boost their confidence and learn new skills
 They are able to learn and develop their interpersonal skills and

gives them a chance to meet new people

Our activities are designed to cover the following areas:

 Social
 The Arts and culture
 Sport
 Music and performing arts
 Maths and Science
 Technology
 International events and activities to promote aspects of student

SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) Development

In this booklet you will find a list and times of the activities for
2018-19.

At the back of this booklet you will find the times and locations of all
