The Co-curricular activities at Sharad Pawar International school are aimed to enhance and cultivate the over all development of our Students. These activities form an integral part of the curriculum to help develop and bring forth the talent and creativity of our Students. Performance in activities is given equal importance as in academics and sports. Such activities improve creativity, enhance confidence levels, inculcate discipline, enhance leadership qualities and abilities and stimulate the student to become a team player.
Day and Residential Students from Year 3 to Year 12 participate in after-school sports and clubs four nights a week from 2.20 pm to 4.00 pm. The clubs and activities are organized and facilitated by our teaching staff who elect or propose an activity in accordance with their personal strength and experience. These co-curricular activities provide both staff and students with the opportunity to mix with people from other parts of the school in an informal and creative environment.
They further provide students with the opportunity to broaden their skills and experience by participating in activities and events that challenge them in novel ways, thus enhancing their educational experience outside the normal rigors of the classroom.
There are a variety of activities that take place in the school academic year which include:
- Inter House Activities
- Inter School Activities.
- Activity Clubs
There are a number of activities scheduled for the student’s house wise throughout the year. These activities aim at enhancing confidence level and team play. Care is taken that new faces appear each time in order to maximize the exposure rather than keeping it limited to the best. Students from Year 3 to Year 12, compete against other on behalf of their school houses in events as diverse as dance, sport, marching and public speaking. This competition encourages a healthy, friendly rivalry between our four houses of Dragon, Eagle, Elephant and Sun and fosters a sense of pride in our individual students as they increasingly identify with and support the other members of their House.
The Inter-school competitions will also continue this year in many formats. Our teachers are devising activities we may host or participate for a variety of local and International schools in and around Pune. Sport will feature again along with some more intellectual pursuits including debating, recitals and chess competitions. SPIS has also been fortunate to be invited to several sporting events and quizzes by our neighboring schools which will take place over the coming terms.
