Extra-Curricular Activities
RPSIS believes that our students are the innovators of tomorrow, and we strive to provide school activities that encourage our students and educators alike to practice innovation today. We define innovation as “the act of starting something for the first time in our existing context of work that would add value to our processes. Therefore, we introduce Extra-curricular activities which are the activities, often sports-based, that take place outside of the RPSIS classroom, helping students develop their personalities and physical aptitude. Students who show particular talent in these extra-curricular activities may participate to special programs, which provide additional, intensive training under skilled coaches. Examples of our Extra-curricular activities include:
- Quiz and Debate
- Essay Writing
- Art Competition
- Music, Dance & Drama
- Special sports coaching
- Outdoor Games and Gymnastic
- Team Building Activities
- Musical Instruments – Tabla & Keyboard.
- Karate & Martial Arts
- SUPW
These activities encourage our students to delve deeper into activities and subject areas that they are passionate about. Across all the innovation, extra-curricular or co-curricular activities, our primary goal is to incite passion and provide a fun way for students to discover and embrace the spirit of relentless learning, inside as well as outside the classroom, so they can identify with different interests, passions and personalities.
