“Starting a new school year means choosing a CCA. People often think that CCA is only for time-filling. However, at SIS, CCAs are seen as an extension of the classroom,  a place where skills, values, and passions grow.”

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) play an important role in shaping a student’s holistic development. They are not just “extra” activities. They help students discover new interests, build confidence, and develop important life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and resilience.

At SIS, CCAs are carefully designed to complement our academic programs, giving students opportunities to explore sports, the arts, science, languages, and more. The right CCA can spark lifelong interests and even influence future career paths.

Here’s how you can guide your child in choosing the right CCA:

1. Follow Their Interests
   Encourage them to try something they’re genuinely curious about.
2. Focus on Learning and Growth
   Remind them that CCAs are about developing skills, not just winning competitions.
3. Balance with Academics
   Ensure their schedule allows for healthy rest and study time.
4. Let Them Explore First
   They don’t have to commit to one thing forever; experimenting is part of learning.

When parents support rather than control the decision, children feel empowered to own their learning journey. This independence leads to better engagement, stronger commitment, and greater enjoyment.

At SIS, we believe that CCAs help shape well-rounded individuals who are ready to thrive both in and beyond the classroom. Visit and contact SIS to learn how SIS can help your child grow both academically and personally.
