Extracurricular Activities (ECA)

On top of a digital academic experience, our School equally
values students’ holistic development. With strict social distancing
measures in place, holding student activities on campus may seem
difficult, if not impossible. However, when there is a will, there
is a (digital) way. To develop individual potentials during the
pandemic, our School provides students with a wide variety of ECA
through live streaming, ranging from regular meetings of Clubs and
Societies to various online leisure activities.
