Art Club is not only a place where people with a passion for art gather, it has also become a home for all of us to create memorable memories and special bonds. It is where all of us are allowed to speak freely without worrying about judgement. Here, we can unleash our inner artist. It does not matter how well you can draw but how passionate you are about art. You will be able to meet people of similar interests while picking up new art skills. You can also build up your self confidence by holding peer sharing sessions during CCA, where you will be able to teach our members any art skill that you would like to share with them.

In a world that is complex and ambiguous, Debate Society hopes to train minds focused clearly on the issue at hand, undistracted by the tangential or seemingly fashionable.

In this journey, students will be encouraged to cultivate traits like intellectual humility and readiness to charitably consider other points of view. Debaters will have a chance to hone their skills and spar in teams in debate sessions.
