Extracurricular & co-curricular opportunities<\/h2>\n
Norito Yonezawa, parent of GIIS PYP students Rihito and Eito Yonezawa said: \u201cGIIS offers a range of extracurricular activities. For example, my elder son Rihito likes sports and enjoys dodgeball, so he plays sports. My younger one, Eito, actually enjoys art. The art teacher encouraged them (the students) to draw whatever they wanted. He brings home a lot of his drawings.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRihito also won the second prize in a competition called \u2018Battle of the Brains\u2019, which is a maths competition. I think the teachers encouraged him. It was a peer collaboration activity so he not only developed maths skills but also communication and peer collaboration skills,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
At GIIS, we offer a diverse range of extracurricular activities, including a variety of sports, to cater to our students’ interests. From cricket to badminton, football to basketball, tennis to athletics, we ensure that every child finds a sport that matches their personal style. The goal is to instil a passion for sports and provide avenues for students to excel in their chosen pursuits.<\/p>\n

On top of this, we provide the exclusive Gold Squad Accelerator Programme, where talented students receive additional training from the best coaches at no extra cost.<\/p>\n
This programme that aims to nurture their skills to enable them to reach new heights in their sports journey, is offered in cricket, basketball, badminton, tennis and football.<\/p>\n
We also offer a range of on-campus co-curricular activities that complement the academic curriculum. For instance, activities like the Writers Club and Debates focus on personality development, while Cooking Without Fire promotes independence among students.<\/p>\n
\u200d<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n Moreover, competitions such as \u2018Weave-a-tale\u2019 and \u2018Battle of the Brains\u2019 foster 21st century skills like communication, collaboration, and analytical thinking. Through these activities, we aim to hone and develop skills that contribute to the well-rounded growth of our students, empowering them to become confident learners.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n Also read: <\/strong>How we plan the teaching and learning for IB PYP students at GIIS<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Enquire](\"https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Enquire-Now-Banner-jpg.webp\")
