Enrichment CCAs include Science Society, Debating Society and Technology Society. Junior School offers Special Interest Clubs that extend beyond the taught curriculum. Enrichment follows a progression: Experiment (DUCKS) in the early years, Development (Junior School), and Extension (Senior School), with increasing commitments. Enrichment is one of the three pillars of the CCA programme, alongside The Arts and Sport.
The Arts are a core component of the CCA programme, including Music, Art, Dance and Drama. A Music CCA requires a full-year commitment. The Arts complement sport and enrichment within the CCA framework.
Korean literature is offered as a co-curricular activity. Mandarin is taught through three pathways—Mandarin A (Chinese as a native language), Mandarin B (Mandarin as a second language) and Mandarin C (Mandarin as a foreign language)—with the Wo Hui Mandarin approach to language teaching.
The CCA programme covers Enrichment, The Arts and Sport with activities such as Football, Swimming, Sailing, Basketball, Music, Arts, Dance, Drama, Debating, Cooking, Yoga, and Korean literature. Activities are designed with learning intentions and outcomes to actively develop students. The programme includes events and trips linked to CCAs.
The school is an International Award Centre delivering the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award (DofE). Green Tigers is an environmental initiative within the CCA programme.
Enrichment Societies (Science Society, Debating Society, Technology Society) provide opportunities to develop leadership and collaboration. Senior School adopts a year-long Extension in Enrichment CCAs to deepen commitment and leadership. The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award is delivered through the programme.
The CCA programme is designed to develop student health and wellbeing as part of the learning journey. Wellbeing is a whole-school focus, promoting physical, mental and emotional health and participation in the wider community.
