Extra-Curricular Activities
The Highlands School of Egypt believes that learning, growth and development continue after school hours. As students grow, they will need to develop skills, interests, and abilities which will enhance their capacity to perform beyond the academic world. Thus HSE supports and encourages students to participate in activities beyond the school day.
Teachers, as leaders of the school are expected and encouraged to support the activity program by acting as advisors to teams or clubs or by supervising students in the support of their activities.
School is a great time to get involved in sports, clubs, the art and different activities. At HSE, almost all students participate in some sort of sport or student activity. As a result, lifetime friendships are born and great memories are stored away in the mind forever.
ECAs are optional and students who participate will pay a certain fee. Buses are not available to take students home.
THE GOALS OF THE HSE STUDENT ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
To provide activities that complement the school curriculum, satisfy competitive and recreational needs of the students, and respond to the expressed interests, talents, skills, and values of the community.
To promote school spirit and self-esteem.
To teach and foster desirable leadership skills, community awareness, citizenship, responsibility, and teamwork.
To develop students who are lifelong learners and positive role models.
To provide equal opportunities for all students.
A student's participation in a club or organization is a privilege and not a right.
A student's opportunity to participate can be limited or denied for failure to follow the club or activity's rules or for violation of the student conduct code.
