The polyphonic Secondary ECA Symphony is now in full performance. Orchestrated by Teachers, Coaches and IBDP students, the ECA programme offers a wide spectrum of Clubs and Activities, ranging from the great Sports classics to a vast array of creative, innovative, intrepid, inspiring, thought- provoking, convivial and prosperous moments.
SPORTS… and… TEAM SPIRIT
Table Tennis, Basket Ball, Football, Volley-ball, Skateboarding are the Big Five Sports of the moment. These Sports Clubs enable IBDP Students to collaborate with the Coaches to experience the management of a group. In addition to the daily action the Sports Department organizes friendly games with other schools, which adds to the motivation and enhancement of team spirit, and ultimately constructs a solid sense of belonging.
CREATIVITY … and… SERVICE
An explosion of talents and superb skills is clearly demonstrated on a daily basis during ECA time. Quite a few splendid creations are also brought to the attention of a wider audience. As an illustration the ROBOTICS Club has exhibited a good number of its High- Tec specimens during Joint Primary and Secondary Science Fair. Spanish for beginners is a great addition to our internationally minded campus。
MUSIC … DRAMA … and SERVICE
The Music Department has actively supported the ECA programme, by providing staff expertise and second to none practice facilities and equipment to the service of our students. Students are inspired, take initiative and naturally get together to practice as Band members, perform with audiences or for special events with the guidance of specialist staff.
Following the performance of Macbeth last semester the Drama Department is growing from strength to strength, currently exploring the glittering world of American Classic Musical Movies and practicing emblematic scenes.
IBDP CAS CLUBS
The ECA Programme is the backbone of the IBDP CAS PROGRAMME for our G11 & G12 students. This Semester we have an astonishing 25 IBDP CAS CLUBS. These activities are student-led Clubs. The students managers handle all aspects of their sessions with the support of their CAS Advisors, CAS Co-Ordinator, and ECA Co-Ordinators.
