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.
