Activities at UWCSEA encompasses a wide range of choice engagements with music, arts, sports and cultural activities.  The Activities element of our learning programme serves many ends: it allows students to develop skills in particular domains; it allows children access to appropriate competition and challenge; it supports leadership, teamwork and community; it offers recreation and leisure to support well-being.  A major outcome of activities as part of a Hahnian education is that we hope learners discover their Grand Passion.

In Activities students learn and reflect upon the skills and qualities of our profile.  Students acquire discipline specific learning and competencies related to their choice of activity, from how to play chess, to competitive swimming.

Activities support students’  physical, intellectual, artistic, creative, emotional and social well-being through providing opportunities for leisure, relationships and mindful engagement with the world around them.  Through engaging positively with other students and adults within the programme, Activities strengthens our community through shared experiences and endeavour.

Activities support the foundations of a lifelong active and healthy lifestyle.

The Activities programme encourages self-discovery and empowers students to take appropriate risks while exploring their capabilities. They also build leadership and social skills and an understanding of group dynamics. Most importantly, they experience both success and failure and learn the value of commitment.

Students sign up for each of the four Activities seasons each school year via our online system, which allocates students based on their preferences. Parents are able to view their child's activity commitments, together with their academic timetable, via our website portal. Students who usually take the bus home are provided with an ‘activity bus’ after activities have concluded at no additional cost.
