Activities and societies
Physical activities are a common form of recreation and a source of well-being and are key to improving physical fitness and physical and mental health. Physical activities may include introductory, recreational, and competitive sports or outdoor activities, fitness training, and recreational games incorporating muscle-building. Physical activities may also take the form of organized practices (with adequate supervision) or informal practices
Description
We dedicate Monday evenings to our program of societies and clubs. The Lower Sixth are encouraged to take on leadership roles within societies and clubs, setting the direction and content. This opportunity provides excellent support for applications to Higher Education in future years.
Pupils who wish to take part in practical activities can choose from clubs as diverse as polo, clay-pigeon shooting, climbing, and pottery.
Our academic societies cover many core subjects including English Literature, Maths, Philosophy, and Psychology. Pupils can choose to join a society that supports an existing area of study or one that gives them a new avenue to explore. In either case, they will benefit from varied meetings, build their presentation skills by presenting research topics, and have the opportunity to hear external speakers.
