After School Activities are an important aspect of school life, enabling students to develop a range of skills. It also allows students to develop essential life skills such as teamwork and communication skills, as well as developing friendships outside of the constraints of the academic timetable.
The programme of extra-curricular activities that broadly comes under the banner of ASA has been a constant area of growth at JIS. Expanding beyond a simple provision of activities after school, the scope of opportunities for students now covers a wide variety of times and types, catering for a wide range of interests and ages.
As well as experiential activities which run over a single term, the establishment of various Clubs in some sectors of the school has given students the chance to belong to a team or group over an extended period. These Clubs have also become involved in external competitions and gatherings, both locally and internationally. Seasonal sports ASA also allow for a wide range of sporting disciplines to be experienced by students.
Staff from both Junior and Senior sectors, as well as senior students and parents, offer leadership to hundreds of students throughout the year. Peer tutoring provides opportunities for senior students to act as mentors to their junior counterparts, extending the connections between a diverse range of school community members. The ASA programme provides a vital balance to the academic side of school life, creating opportunities for students of different ages to work together with staff and parents in an environment which is conducive to building relationships, personal confidence and developing skills.
