Students are encouraged to engage in a wide range of activities important in their overall development. Debates, declamations, group discussions symposia and quiz competitions are held periodically on topics of current international significance, not only to expand awareness of the world outside the school, but also to give the children valuable experience in public speaking. In order to enjoy the vast outdoors of the picturesque Himalayan mountains, students are taken on frequent hikes(treks) and picnics. Occasionally, a group trip is arranged, stretching over a period of several days, in which places of historical or other interests are visited.
