The spectrum of activities ranges from choir and musical instrument instruction to art, writing and language clubs.There are also a number of high quality sporting venues (e.g. tennis) with the immediate vicinity of the school to which we have access.

Students who do not participate in the afternoon clubs may attend our day care centre until 6.00 pm where there are plenty of opportunities to play, paint, do handicrafts, relax and read. Our childcare specialists are always present to support the children in organising their free time.
