Co-curricular Activities at GIIS Bnagalore: Discovering Passions, Developing Potential
Empowering Students Through Co-Curricular Excellence
A core component of holistic education is the Extra-Curricular and Co-Curricular activities that shape the development of students. They are instrumental in honing the talents and developing social skills, critical thinking and teamwork.
Our school has an array of ECA and CCA activities for the benefit of our students. It is mandatory for our students to participate in at least one activity under both categories.
To instil a sense of belonging, camaraderie and brotherhood among students, many of these activities are held by grouping students into four Houses, which encourages healthy competition, a hunger for winning and pride in accomplishments. These initiatives make us a leading school in Bangalore with co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, helping students grow in every aspect of their development.
Co-Curricular Activities
CCAs build upon the inherent talents of our students as well as getting them interested in new activities and opening their minds to new possibilities in the realm of skills-based education.
Students' talents are built upon which equips them to soar higher through participation in competitions, talent shows and events. They also foster social integration, increase their self-confidence and teach them to follow their passion.
A wide range of skills-based learning options make our CCAs very attractive to students, which is why we are known for offering some of the best co-curricular programs for students in Bangalore that support both personal and academic growth.
