At Samtse LSS, we believe that a well-rounded education goes beyond the traditional classroom setting. That's why we have introduced 16 clubs aimed at developing students' skills and interests. These clubs are formed after a thorough situational analysis and are run by competent teachers in small groups. Each club meets every Wednesday for one hour. Participating in these clubs provides students with a chance to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build meaningful relationships with peers and teachers. These clubs can also help students gain confidence and leadership skills that they can use in their academic and personal lives. Additionally, being a member of a club can foster a sense of belonging and a positive school culture. We believe that participating in these clubs will enhance their overall educational experience and prepare them for success in their future endeavors.
