Co-curricular

We believe it’s important for children to have a holistic education and that education is best when it combines the pursuit of academic excellence with the development of character. That’s why we’re proud of our co-curricular activities, and why our pupils are excelling inside–and outside–the classroom.

By participating in wide range of co-curricular activities, our pupils have the opportunity to pursue their passions, and develop skills such as leadership and teamwork.

For many in our communities, the opportunity to participate in tournaments, festivals and competitions opens up a whole new world of travel and experience that they may not otherwise be exposed to.

They have been so successful that they have represented their schools, and even their countries, at international tournaments across Africa.

Excursions take our pupils outside of the classroom and into a world of work; introducing pupils to environments like factories, power plants and a wide variety of places and professions.

Song and dance is an important part of community life. Pupils take part in performances; festivals and events across their Country, giving them an opportunity to showcase their skills. They often compete in music competitions and do really well at local, regional and national levels.
