Department Information

Introduction 

Our students' modesty and our diverse culture are well known within the community. In line with one of the school's mottos of enriching students' learning experience and cultivating their diverse abilities, the Extra-curricular Activities Committee (ECAC) is committed to promotion of various activities for students. These activities, mainly across the categories of class operation, four houses, leadership training, joint-class activities, services, and post-exam activities, enrich students' school life outside of classroom learning.

Objectives 

  1. Enrich students' school life and help them build relationships through various types of activities.
  2. Integrate and promote leadership training within sub-committees to provide students with ample opportunities for self-initiated learning and innovative thinking. This enriches students' learning experience, and helps build a culture of excellence where students help establish others after establishing themselves.

2. Societies and leadership training

Encourage and train students to take on leadership roles. Students are given opportunities, from S1, to participate in various societies and extra-curricular activities. They are also given opportunities to plan and organize activities in the capacity of society/club committee members, regardless of the secondary school year they are in. Student cultivation–oriented education emphasizes students' roles as coaches in the learning process. As such, students' preferences, interests and abilities should be accommodated, and the content of learning should be explored and developed by students rather than entirely handed down by teachers. Training and development since a young age enable students' excellence in extra-curricular activities, particularly in leadership. Therefore, students are routinely involved in planning of the school's major activities, such as athletic meets and themed open days. This serves to enhance students' leadership, and to promote and implement the school's motto of "after establishing yourself, help establish others".
