Extra-Curricular Activities The aim of our Activity programme is to give children the chance to experience and learn new skills or expand and develop existing skills. We try to ensure that children gain enjoyment, healthy exercise, new skills and hopefully the motivation to take those activities they enjoy with them into adult life. Extra-Curricular activities give children the chance to experience different teachers and teaching styles and reap the benefits from this. The programme also gives teachers a chance to give of their knowledge and expertise not only in their teaching subject but also from whatever interests and experience they have. We offer over 50+ different activities and these include: 

FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia) Sports training for events.

Team Sports such as basketball, football, T-Ball and volleyball

Drama

School Newspaper/ Podcasting

Taekwondo

Athletics

Languages: Thai/Mandarin/French

Arts and Crafts

Instrumental and Singing lessons

Horsemanship, Swimming, and Golf may also be offered

Field Trips Children participate in school field trips throughout the year. These trips are connected to the learning that is taking place in class and are designed to engage and stimulate children to promote discussion and inquiry. Class Teachers will inform you of upcoming trips on Firefly at the beginning of each half term. Before the trip takes place, class teachers will provide parents with a detailed letter and consent form. Children without parental consent remain at school and attend a different class.

Homework We believe that Primary age children should participate in a few relevant and appropriate tasks outside of the school environment in order to reinforce, consolidate and extend learning. These tasks will consists of : daily reading and practicing spelling and times tables. Homework should promote the learning partnership between home and school and encourage self-organizational skills and independent learning.
