WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY, CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES & SPORT

At Amity, we're dedicated to enhancing holistic student development through our co-curricular programme.

This term, we are pleased to welcome FS1 pupils into the Lower Primary CCA programme, ensuring even our youngest learners can benefit from these enriching opportunities.

Amity’s co-curricular activities are designed to nurture creativity, inquiry, leadership, and critical thinking. By offering a diverse range of activities, we aim to expand horizons, foster essential skills, and encourage students to pursue their passions.

To further enhance accessibility, lunchtime activities continue to offer recreational options without requiring sign-up. Afterschool CCAs, however, will require registration through our SOCS platform, ensuring a smooth and organised process for parents and pupils.

We encourage all pupils to actively participate and make the most of these opportunities, understanding their vital role in personal and academic growth.

Enjoy Term 2 and strive to give your very best!
