Co-curriculum
The Co-curricular programmes are not an optional extra for students, parents or staff, but are at the core of their education. It is not the Extra-Curriculum. All students at Secondary Level are expected to participate widely in the Co-Curriculum and are encouraged to do so at Junior School Level.
It is the goal of the co-curriculum to encourage the following:
- positive attitudes in many manifestations
- teamwork
- commitment
- personal courage
- the breaking down of self imposed barriers to achievement and success and the barriers imposed by short-term thinking and goal setting
- ethical behaviour
- appropriate humility and modesty
- leadership
- appropriate competitiveness
- generosity of spirit
- compassion
- physical fitness
- appreciation of Art, Music, Drama and cultural endeavour
- fairness and sportsmanship
- the ideals of unselfish service to community
- respect of all others including the younger, weaker and less able
- inclusiveness
- the search for excellence
- an international outlook; the avoidance of parochialism
- ... and much more
