Clubs – GIHS

Extracurricular activities play a vital role in children’s learning journey as they focus on their holistic development. They provide opportunities for children to discover the value and responsibilities of individual and team work. They can enhance physical strength, develop endurance, and shape students to be healthy competitors. They help children to develop a sense of oneness, culture, and community. They teach children to apply what they have learned in the classroom in a real-world context and are part of a well-rounded education. Keeping this in mind, Gulf Indian High School offers various club activities for students. Through club activities, students discover ways that they can be productive and successful outside the classroom, boosting their confidence and their sense of independence.
