Co-curricular Activities 2023-24

This year, we have placed extra importance on CCA, understanding that these activities play a vital role in providing students with opportunities to explore their interests beyond the confines of the academic curriculum. This post highlights the range of CC Activities conducted in both the Primary Section and Middle School Section, aimed at nurturing our students' diverse talents and passions. We firmly believe that by offering such a diverse range of activities, our young learners can explore their individual talents, interests, and strengths. The two-month duration of each activity ensures that students have the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge significantly, fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence.

Middle School Section: Our Middle School Section has four exciting CC Activities that have been met with enthusiasm and appreciation from our students. These activities are thoughtfully designed to promote creativity, teamwork, and self-expression, helping students develop essential life skills beyond the classroom.

Guitar: The guitar activity allows students to immerse themselves in the world of music, learn to play this versatile instrument, and discover the joy of creating harmonious melodies. Playing the guitar can be a therapeutic way to unwind and reduce stress. Engaging in music can elevate your mood and provide an outlet for emotions. Learning and mastering a song or technique you once thought was difficult can bring a deep sense of personal fulfillment and satisfaction. Once you learn to play the guitar, it becomes a skill you can enjoy throughout your life. It can be a lifelong hobby or even a profession if you choose to pursue it further. Learning guitar enhances cognitive abilities and memory retention. It exercises both the creative and logical sides of your brain, improving overall mental agility.

Power of Drumming: Through the drumming activity, students unleash their rhythmical abilities, honing their coordination and gaining a deep appreciation for the power of musical timing and collaboration. Drumming requires the simultaneous use of both hands and both feet, which helps improve coordination and motor skills. Over time, drummers develop a strong sense of rhythm and timing. Drumming exposes individuals to the world of music, helping them appreciate and understand the role of percussion in various music genres. Drumming can induce a state of mindfulness and "flow," where the drummer is fully absorbed in the activity, leading to a sense of joy and timelessness. Drummers need to be attentive to the rest of the band, improving their ability to listen and respond to others' musical cues. Drumming can be a life-long hobby that brings joy and satisfaction throughout one's lifetime. Learning to play the drums can be an enjoyable and fulfilling experience with numerous mental, physical, and emotional benefits. Whether pursued professionally or as a hobby, drumming can enrich a person's life in various ways.

Reading: Our reading activity encourages students to embrace the magic of literature, fostering a love for books and enhancing their language skills, empowering them to articulate their thoughts eloquently. Reading books that explore diverse characters and experiences can cultivate empathy and a deeper understanding of different cultures, perspectives, and societal issues. Readers clubs often delve into the symbolism, themes, and literary devices used in books, leading to a more profound appreciation and engagement with literature. Members can express their thoughts and emotions about books freely in a non-judgmental setting, fostering self-expression and self-confidence. The shared experience of reading the same book and discussing it can create a unique bond among members.

Wall Painting: Wall painting is a form of artistic expression that allows individuals to unleash their creativity and imagination. It provides a unique way to communicate ideas, emotions, and messages through visual art. Engaging in creative activities like wall painting can be therapeutic and reduce stress. It provides a meditative and mindful experience that helps improve mental well-being. Wall painting involves precision, attention to detail, and patience. Mastering these skills can enhance your overall artistic abilities and attention to finer elements in various aspects of life. The wall painting activity provides students with a creative outlet, allowing them to express their artistic talents while beautifying the school environment, infusing it with colors and inspiration.

The Impact: The emphasis on CC Activities in both the Primary and Middle School Sections has proven to be highly rewarding. Our students have demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm and active participation in the various activities, leading to their holistic development. These pursuits not only ignite their passions but also encourage teamwork, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment.

By providing an excellent platform for students to explore their interests, talents, and creativity, our CCA program has become a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery. As we move forward, we will continue to refine and expand our CCA offerings, ensuring that each student has the opportunity to flourish and thrive in an environment that encourages exploration, self-expression, and personal growth. Together, let us continue to embrace the transformative power of CCA in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
