CCA Booklet Term 1 - AY 2024 -2025

Page 1


Welcome from the Director of Community, Co-Curricular Activities & Sport

At Amity, we're dedicated to enhancing holistic student development through our co-curricular program. Our approach, supported by our CCA policy, recognises exceptional commitment and performance, and introduces an honours system for secondary students to acknowledge this.

Beyond the classrooms, Amity provides a comprehensive education that nurtures creativity, inquiry, leadership, and critical thinking. Co-curricular activities are key to this, expanding horizons and fostering these essential skills.

Our logistics have evolved, and lunchtime activities will no longer require sign-up, offering pupils a range of recreational options. However, afterschool CCAs will require sign-up through our new, all-inclusive SOCS platform.

We believe in active participation and encourage every student to engage fully, understanding the vital role of these activities in their personal and academic growth.

Enjoy and give of your very best!
