Co-Curriculars


     
     
Participation in clubs is an important aspect that encourages girls to assume leadership roles. Many clubs hold their meetings during Contact periods, part of the regular schoolday, so that all girls have the opportunity to be active in extra-curricular activities and to develop themselves as leaders. There is such a wide variety offered that any girl can find a group whose activities appeal to her.
