School Clubs

These clubs are created and supervised by the school to provide opportunities for students to discover, develop, or enhance their talents and socio-personal skills based on their interests and abilities. These clubs are anchored on the school’s educational objectives and set of standards. The Student Council coordinates major activities of the school clubs except for Quantum Leap (campus journalism). 

Note: 

As part of the requirements for college admission application, certification, recommendation, and extra and co-curricular activity records, all Grade 7-12 students are required to join and actively participate in at least two (2) school clubs. 

Due to the demanding activities and serious responsibilities of SC (Student Council) and Quantum Leap, students are not allowed to be regular members or staff of both SC and Quantum Leap at the same time during the school year.
