Exploring Passions

An Holistic Education

Learning continues long after the bell has rung. A wide range of clubs and activities provide students with the opportunity to explore new interests, develop their talents, and form lifelong friendships beyond the academic program. From creative pursuits and service initiatives to sporting excellence and special interest groups, there is something for every student to discover, lead, and enjoy.

Preparatory School

In addition to school-run clubs and activities, highly professional external educational providers are engaged to run activities which include Coding, Robotics and sporting activities.

Preparatory School

Chess

Students enjoy playing games of chess while having the opportunity to learn and practice new moves and tactics. Boys from Years 3 to 6 can develop their skills while playing against boys from different age groups.
Construction

Students engage their imagination to design models using various construction materials. Each week, the boys will use different modes of construction that may include Lego, Duplo, Magnetic tiles, blocks, connection toys and more.
Drawing

Students have access to a variety of activities and are assisted with step-by-step instructions to see their creations come to life. Boys will be able to test their drawing skills by drawing a range of items and using different equipment.
Homework

Students are provided a quiet space to complete their homework tasks with the assistance of a supervising teacher. If the boys are unsure of a particular task, they have direct access to a teacher who can work through the activity with them. They are also able to work with other students from Years 3 to 6 to complete as much of the week’s homework as possible.

In addition to school-run clubs and activities, highly professional external educational providers are engaged to run activities which include Coding, Robotics and sporting activities.

I’ve had loads of fun doing all the activities and clubs at Christ Church. From Debating where I learnt public speaking and communication, to Duke of Ed, where I did lots of team building and teamwork with others, they’ve been really amazing and they’ve really helped me on my school journey.
