Extra-Curricular Activities
The department is committed to offering a variety of extra-curricular activities and clubs wherever and whenever practicable considering the restraints of staffing, cost and tie. It is the policy of the department that any pupils who wish may attend the activities that take place. (However, there are occasions when specific practices for team players might take place).
