At SJIIS, we recognise the importance of extracurricular activities as an integral part of our students’ holistic development. With a wide range of options spanning from sports to arts and technology, we are committed to providing an enriching environment that promotes personal growth and continuous learning beyond the classroom.
Our diverse list of extracurricular activities encompasses a wide range of interests and passions. From sports disciplines like karate, taekwondo, and badminton to creative activities such as Digital Arts & Animation and Art Club, every student has the opportunity to explore and cultivate their unique talents. Furthermore, we foster the development of social and collaborative skills through activities like Cheerleading, Girls’ Netball, and Boys’ Basketball, where teamwork and camaraderie are promoted.
It’s not just about participating in activities for fun but also about cultivating virtues and skills important for personal and academic growth. Sports activities promote discipline, perseverance, and physical health, while arts and technology develop creativity, problem-solving, and technical skills. Additionally, activities like the Chess Club foster strategic thinking and informed decision- making, while Drone Piloting and Design & Technology drive innovation and critical thinking.
It’s important to note that all our activities are designed to adapt to the individual competencies and needs of each student. Whether they’re looking to strengthen specific skills, explore new interests, or simply find a community to belong to, our extracurricular activities are designed to support and complement their academic experience.
Furthermore, our activities are organised to serve as the perfect complement to the academic part. We recognise the importance of balancing classroom learning with practical and extracurricular experiences that enrich our students’ education. For example, World Cinema and the World Scholars Cup offer opportunities to explore global cultures and perspectives, while Healthy HIIT Training and Yoga promote physical and mental well-being, preparing our students to face academic challenges with confidence and resilience.
Extracurricular activities at SJIIS undoubtedly play a fundamental role in our students’ holistic development. From strengthening skills to promoting values like teamwork and creativity, these activities are designed to enrich the educational experience and prepare our students for a future full of success and fulfilment.
