Extracurricular activities form an integral part of learning in the school. The extensive range of enrichment activities that the school provides encompasses all the important disciplines that are essential for growth, fulfilment, teamwork, and skills acquisition. We provide our students with engaging participative activities that will help broaden their horizon, discover their passions, develop an appreciation of teamwork, and support their holistic development to become well-rounded individuals. As they grow, students are encouraged to choose activities from across the various ranges so that a balance is always maintained between the different domains and between personal and team-oriented sessions.
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.
