Acting, dialogue delivery, emotions, expressions, make-up, costumes, camera facing, speaking on the mike and connecting yourself with the audience, all these make an actor. The Dramatics club aspires to transform our budding artists into polished actors. Students take active part in every exercise and train under the guidance of our resource person Ms. Malvika. Teacher Merlyn and Tr. Vatsala are their constant help and guide.
In the Aerobics club students are taught exercises that make them sweat, breathe harder and get their hearts to pump faster. These rhythmic routines strengthen their hearts and lungs and make their cardio vascular system more efficient. They help the students to stay active and fit while having fun with rhythm and music.
Students taking up Computer as an activity are taught to work on software that is beyond the school’s basic curriculum. Students work on photo editing software, learn to create beautiful presentations, work with animation software such as Skytz and develop programming skills in Scratch.
