The Importance of School Clubs

The pressure of school work is no walk in the park. Children today hardly find the time to chat with their friends during lunch breaks or spend a fun-filled free period. School clubs, however, offer the perfect outlet for students to express their hidden talents and skills. After all, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!"

Not all learning happens in the classroom. In fact, many life skills are learned in school clubs. However, many parents do not encourage higher secondary students to pursue school club activities due to academic pressure. Besides, there's the additional responsibility of scoring good marks to get into reputed colleges.

Despite these academic demands, joining a school club can mean much more than just an extracurricular activity. The clubs offered to students in Grade I-XI are:

• SPEAK WELL CLUB: Mandatory for all to improve linguistic skills, grammar, vocabulary, and, above all, reading with fluency, expression, and correct pauses.
• RAMANUJAN CLUB: Focuses on magical calculations and improving mental ability in mathematics.
• DR. HOMI BHABHA CLUB: Aims to instill and hone a scientific temperament.
• ENVIRONMENT CLUB - ECO CLUB: For nature lovers to engage in sustainable development activities.
