Activities Outside the Curriculum

Activities outside the curriculum are planned to enhance the development of the whole child, and provide an extension to the school curriculum. The activities are grouped using multiple intelligences, thereby enabling children to pursue personal interests, develop new skills and knowledge or explore different areas. The philosophy of the IB PYP will be extended  to this programme and student expectations will be predicated on the attributes of the IB Learner Profile and PYP Attitudes.

• Activities Outside the Curriculum will be timetabled within the school day.
• All students from Prep to grade 6 must engage in the programme.
• Teachers from Prep to grade 6 and primary conduct the programme.
• Outside teachers may be introduced to expand the programme. The cost will be borne by the participants in the individual activities and each of these activities will be actively supervised by a Utaholy teacher/s.
• Two sessions will be conducted each year one in each semester.
• Students may choose 2 different activities or continue with one activity for the duration of the year.
• The scheduled activities may change between semesters.
• Activities will be grouped under a variety of multiple intelligences-

  Bodily Kinaesthetic
  Visual Spatial
  Logical Mathematical
  Verbal Linguistic
  Natural Environmental
  Musical

• The activities that will be conducted each semester will be dependent on the available resources, and the level of student interest.
• A student reflection on the activity will be included in the student portfolio at the end of each semester.
