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:
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
