Extracurricular Activities
All students are encouraged to spend at least two afternoons a week participating in extracurricular sports or other activities. Activities are supervised by members of staff, volunteers or IB students. The emphasis is on participation rather than competition, although in some disciplines it is possible to arrange regular and competitive meetings with other local schools. Examples of team sports played at Waterford include: soccer, swimming, hockey and basketball. Student organisations include: Amnesty International, GAP (Gender Awareness Project), Culture Club and the Young Heroes group which raises funds for Swazi orphans and vulnerable children (http://www.youngheroes.org.sz).

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
