Our Co-Curricular Activities give children opportunities to explore new interests, challenge themselves and grow beyond the classroom. Tag Rugby introduces children to a fast-paced, inclusive sport where they can develop running, passing and teamwork skills. Through active play, students build agility, resilience and confidence while learning to work together. Young Artists gives children the freedom to explore drawing, painting and creative techniques while developing their own artistic voice. Sessions encourage creativity, confidence and the courage to experiment and try something new. Architects turns creativity into a hands-on adventure, challenging children to design, build, test and improve. Along the way, they develop problem-solving skills, resilience and confidence while exploring early engineering concepts. Dance gives children the freedom to explore movement, music and self-expression while developing coordination and confidence. Sessions encourage creativity, connection and personal growth, helping every child find their own way to shine. Little Chefs gives children the chance to cook from scratch while developing practical skills, independence and creativity. Each session encourages children to try new things, develop independence, and healthy relationship with food. Our Puzzles & Games club turns thinking into an adventure through board games, logic puzzles and strategy challenges. Students build concentration, patience, problem-solving skills and confidence while learning to work independently and with others.
