In Notre Dame Girls Academy, we are conscious that learning does
not take place only in the classroom. School Clubs and Societies
are an integral part of the school’s curriculum designed to
cater for students’ hobbies and interests. These informal
activities are believed to extend interest in the specific
activity, promote friendship, social and leadership skills and
competencies, self-awareness and development and positive
values. They also provide skills needed for the students’ future
careers.
Notwithstanding the importance of these clubs and societies,
there is a regulated number of clubs or extra-curricular
activities that students may engage in. Great steps are taken to
ensure that they are well coordinated in order to achieve their
intended aims. The school clubs include: Creative writing,
Justice and Peace, Science Club, Debating, Press, Music, Art,
French Club and Gardening, among others. The religious societies
include the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Legion of Mary and Catechism
classes for students preparing for different sacraments.
