Extra Curricular Activities
Spring/Summer 2017

Updated April 2017

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 2017.
