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:
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
