During lunch times and after-school hours, tunes coming from the piano room mingle with those of saxophones, violins or clarinets from adjacent practice rooms. A variety of school teams compete both locally and in international tounaments. Leadership opportunities exist for students of all ages, as each class elects representatives and officers for the Student Council. The members of the Student Council voice student concerns and build school spirit and community. Many students make extensive use of school visual art facilities in their spare time.
Students can participate in a range of after-school activities offered throughout the year.
Students can opt to continue one activity for the whole year or try different activities each block. Throughout the year there are a number of special events such as music concerts, sports competitions, activity trips, the science fair and art show and academic trips. The International Award Students in grades 11 and 12 are encouraged to take part in the International Award Scheme of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. The programme provides challenges for students to set and achieve personal goals, learning about themselves, and qualities like responsibility, trust, planning and organisation. An expedition is planned for the summer.
