Co-curricular & Extra-curricular Activities
At Paragon ISC, learning goes far beyond the classroom. Every student should have opportunities to discover their interests, sharpen their talents, and build the personal skills that shape confident, well-rounded individuals. Our Co-curricular and Extra-curricular programmes are designed to support academic growth, creativity, leadership, and social development in a safe and inspiring environment.
Co-curricular Activities
Co-curricular activities are integrated with our academic programmes and reinforce what students learn in class. They help students develop discipline, teamwork, intellectual curiosity, and strong character.
What students gain
- Stronger academic understanding
- Improved communication and collaboration
- Confidence and leadership
- A richer school experience aligned with our DHQL commitments
What we offer
Co-curricular options vary by year level and are introduced during orientation week. These may include:
- Robotics and Coding
- Cambridge Clubs
- Olympiad training (Math, Science, English, Global Perspectives)
- Debate and Public Speaking
- STEM projects
- Arts, Music, and Drama
- Global citizenship and service-learning activities
These activities complement academic programmes and encourage students to stretch their thinking, ask questions, and apply classroom knowledge in meaningful ways — all central to our Definition of High-Quality Learning.
Extra-curricular Activities
Extra-curricular activities give students the chance to explore new interests, build hobbies, and develop physical, creative, or social strengths outside the formal curriculum.
Three core themes
According to the Student Handbook, our extra-curricular programme is organised under three categories:
- Sports

- General Interest
Sample Activities
- Football, basketball, volleyball, swimming

Some activities may involve specialist instructors or additional materials, and fees may apply where external providers are involved.
Field Trips & Learning Beyond the Classroom
Field trips are an important part of our programme. They provide meaningful learning experiences, cultural exposure, and opportunities for behavioural and social development. Trips may include:
- Cultural and historical visits
- Environmental and sustainability projects
- Science, technology, and industry tours
- Outdoor education and team-building camps
- Competitions and exhibitions
Parents are informed in advance, and permission slips must be submitted before participation. Some trips may involve additional costs.
Leadership & Community Engagement
Paragon Student Union (PSU)
Our PSU empowers students to take an active role in school life. PSU members lead projects, run events, and support community initiatives such as:
- Peer tutoring
- Charity days
- Tree planting
- Orphanage visits
- Workshops with local and international organisations
These activities strengthen leadership, responsibility, and global citizenship — values central to Paragon ISC’s mission.
A Holistic Education Experience
Co-curricular and Extracurricular programmes help students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. They support the development of:
- Teamwork and cooperation
- Discipline and organisation
- Creativity and critical thinking
- Confidence and self-expression
- Respect, empathy, and global awareness
Aligned with our DHQL, these activities ensure students are actively engaged, purposefully challenged, and given opportunities to lead and contribute.
