Extra- Curricular Activities
We are extremely grateful to our staff who give so generously of their time outside the classroom to provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Various studies have shown that the involvement of students in these activities is hugely important in developing a sense of belonging to the school and, therefore, enhances the students’ chances of succeeding in school.
