All students will choose 3 club choices in order to be placed in a club this year. Clubs meet every other month. Club days are a huge hit with our students. Clubs give them the opportunity to meet other students, staff and engage in some of their favorite hobbies/events. We added some new clubs this year including "Cake My Day" Club, "Cup Stacking" Club, "Culture Shock" Club and "Steel Drums" Club.
You can help support our clubs by fulfilling our Buist Club Wishlist. Click the link below to see the list. We update it throughout the year.
