EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

The school runs a comprehensive programme of extra-curricular activities in order to give pupils a plethora of opportunities to develop their leadership skills, talents and interests. The activities promote healthy competition amongst the pupils while at the same time they encourage good behavior, intellectual curiosity as well as creativity and compassion. As a result, pupils having stepped out of their comfort zone are ready for the challenges of life after school. Moreover, the deeply meaningful experiences enrich and strengthen pupil university applications to top universities.
