b) Core Activities
Through core activity groups, the school seeks to encourage and facilitate students
who show promise of strong aptitude and interest in any sporting or non-sporting
activity to further focus and build on such competencies. This system helps
develop students in the 'core activity groups for sporting activities' to progress to
the school sports teams that compete inter-scholastically. Similarly, students in the
'core activity groups for non-sporting activities' have extended opportunities to
develop their creative talents and equip themselves better for performances as
well as participation in competitions.
The 'core activity groups for sporting activities' include basketball, football, cricket,
table tennis, mallakhamb, judo and taekwondo, while the 'core activity groups for
non-sporting activities' are Indian and Western music (both vocal and
instrumental), dance, drama and art.
Students are selected to participate in the core activity groups based on aptitude,
effort and commitment. Participation in core activity groups is voluntary, but once
opted for, students are expected to commit to regular attendance both in the
activity as well as inter-school competitions.
Participation in core activity groups entails students spending extra hours of
practice beyond regular school hours, the schedule of which will be intimated to
students and parents by Heads of the respective sections.
Student participation in core activity groups is contingent upon their continued
effort and progress in regular academic areas.
