Role of parents

Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) CCA is an integral part of holistic development of our

pupils.

• A platform to build character and values, like

responsibility, self discipline and life skills

• Provide opportunities to discover and develop

their strength, leadership, interest and talent for

sport, uniform group, performing arts or club &

society.

• Promotes social integration and teamwork

This helps your child to lead a balanced life in adulthood.

It is not the CCA participation per se that enhances educational outcomes. It is the fact that the activity provides skills, strength, networks and support, plus social and personal rewards.

Teachers and parents working hand in hand to develop the child holistically To keep the students meaningfully occupied.
