Students have a wealth of CCA options in the High School. Our CCA programme enables students to develop an understanding of themselves and others, as well as build resilience and a desire to learn in different contexts. We encourage our students to select activities that will allow them to build life-long passions and interests that they may wish to pursue as part of a healthy and creative lifestyle COVID-19 restrictions meant that our CCA Programme had to be modified. Elementary School children participated in Chess, Art, Mindfulness, Sport and PE, Chinese, and Digital Technology, to name a few. High School students meanwhile took part in a wide range of activities twice a week following the themes of Creative and Performing Arts, Outdoor Education/Exploring and beyond, Sports & Games, and Service Learning. 23
