As students explore extracurricular activities, the school encourages them to take sensible risks, to experiment and be adventurous whilst also understanding how to reflect on their progress, to learn from their mistakes and to work out strategies for improvement. Key skills and attributes such as leadership, entrepreneurship, digital innovation, health & wellbeing, attachment to strong-rooted values, risk-taking, and critical thinking will be the focus and outcome of the programme.
RPGIS creates partnerships with organizations and individuals who add value, act as role models and bring their key insights and expertise to help the students. Amongst others, these come from leading bodies in the sporting, cultural, business, academic and scientific domains in Kolkata, elsewhere in India and internationally.
Age appropriate activities are offered that hone students creative talents, activity based (sports) skills and foster engagement with the community at large. Some examples of these are given below:
