Public Speaking Club
We strongly believe Public Speaking skills are an essential quality our students must possess. A strong public speaking persona is an excellent self-esteem booster and helps them overcome fears.In addition, it can improve critical thinking skills and help reevaluate one’s communication habits. Students learn how to write speeches,effectively communicate, and get their message across to a larger audience. Confidence gained through public speaking helps students progress as leaders and as members of their communities.
Chess Club
Chess can help students learn to concentrate, think logically, overcome obstacles, spot patterns, and categorize information.Our students develop their problem- solving and planning skills as well as their patience, focus of thought, and self-discipline.
