At LEH International School Foshan, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who not only excel in the classroom but also thrive outside it. Our Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) programme plays a pivotal role in achieving this goal, providing students with a platform to explore their passions, develop new skills, and embrace personal growth. They are allowed 2 hours of ECA time each school day, ensuring they have ample time to pursue their interests and develop essential skills. The activities regularly change every term to provide a constantly evolving array of options, ensuring students have a dynamic and relevant range of opportunities.
Our ECA programme has a great choice of activities for our students to choose from ranging from Art and Textiles and Music to drama, Public Speaking and LAMDA. Our sport ECAs have grown this term from our already existing choices of Swimming, Football, Table Tennis and Badminton to externally coached Touch Rugby and Basketball. At the start of the next term, we will be offering our very first Golf ECA run by professionals offsite.
ECA in Prep School:
Igniting the Spark
For our Prep School students, the ECA programme is an exciting gateway to personal exploration starting at a young age. They have the freedom to choose an ECA that aligns with their interests and aspirations. Whether it's a passion for the arts, languages, sports, drama, or music, we offer a variety of options that allow them to delve into what interests them the most.
In addition to these options, we offer the Homework Club every day, a teacher-supervised session where students can review their daily lessons and work on homework. This ensures that our young learners maintain a balance between academics and extracurricular pursuits, helping them become well-rounded individuals.
