Co-Curricular and Extracurricular Activities

Co-Curricular Activities at Dulwich Hengqin International School

At Dulwich International High School Programme Hengqin, our Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) Programme is integral to providing students with a holistic education. These activities offer students opportunities to develop and excel both academically and personally, while gaining lifelong skills that will benefit them beyond their academic years. 

Our Co-Curricular Activities are organised as after-school programmes, conducted outside academic hours, with a strong focus on English Speaking.

Benefits of Co-Curricular and Extracurricular Activities in High School

Participating in co-curricular and extracurricular activities provides students with hands-on experiences that enrich their academic knowledge and develop practical, leadership, and social skills. These activities play a pivotal role in shaping a student’s character, work ethic, and passion for learning.

Three Core Areas of Our CCA Programme: Academic Enrichment, Sports, and Leadership

As an integral part of Dulwich's “Holistic Education”, our Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) programme focuses on three core areas: Academic enrichment, MADD (Music, Art, Drama, and Design), Sports and leadership. It gives students the space and opportunity to explore their interests and strengths, and develop their 'soft skills' academically, socially and character-wise.

Each CCA often focuses on more than one aspect, such as a student-run economics club, which not only pushes the organiser to take the initiative to do more academic research, but also builds students' presentation skills and confidence in delivering their lectures.

Aim of our CCA Programme: Foster Creativity, Leadership, and Community Engagement

The fundamental aims of our Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are to provide students with the space to:

• Explore non-curricular subjects
• Develop creative and practical skills through collaboration and research (SE21)
• Experience service in the community
• Develop leadership skills through practical opportunities
• Engage in meaningful competition in academics and sports
• Promote environmental sustainability projects
• Participate in the Dulwich Digital Difference (the D3 journey)

Students are encouraged to participate in at least two co-curricular activities per week. With over 50 activities available, led by both students and teachers, our CCA programme encourages leadership development and offers a broad spectrum of interests for exploration.
