Extra-Curricular

To achieve this, we offer a wide range of co-curricular activities that enhance classroom learning, further developing knowledge acquired with opportunities to apply skills learned. Our enrichment activities include lunchtime activities, after-school clubs and societies, international and local educational visits, school events, and competitions.
