At Gulf British Academy, a range of extracurricular and curriculum-based enrichment activities extend learning beyond the classroom. Field trips are arranged for every year level and are often linked to the curriculum, visiting places of local interest in Kuwait such as museums, historical buildings and parks, and occasionally engaging with community services. The trips deepen understanding of Kuwait's history and development and broaden pupils' awareness of the world around them. Science and Maths fairs and other events, including Spelling Bees and Year Group Productions, are part of school life.
After-school clubs include Art and Crafts, Music, Drama and Dance, giving pupils opportunities to develop artistic and creative talents. These clubs run after school for about an hour and provide chances to perform or display work. Additional clubs cover Football, Cookery, ICT and French, complementing creative pursuits with other interests.
French is offered as an after-school club. Arabic and Islamic Studies follow the Kuwait MOE curriculum, with English as the language of instruction across subjects.
Students participate in a wide range of after-school clubs, including football, art and crafts, music, dance, drama and ICT. The clubs run for one hour after school, three or four days per week. Events such as Sports Days, Spelling Bees, Year Group Productions, Dress-up days, Book weeks, Science and Maths fairs, topic-based assemblies and guest speakers accompany the school year.
The Student Leadership Programme gives pupils opportunities to have a voice, lead projects and give back to the GBA community. The programme includes the Head Girl, the Head Boy, the House system and the Committee system. Examples of activities include Movie and Pizza Nights, Plastic Recycling Drives and Charity fundraisers.
The Student Leadership Programme provides leadership development and opportunities for pupils to lead and coordinate initiatives. It includes the Head Girl and Head Boy, the House system and four Committees (Social, Environmental, Student Support and Causes). A Head of Student Leadership coordinates activities and mentors pupil leaders.
Gulf British Academy offers sports and well-being activities through after-school clubs, including Football and Dance (Zumba). Sports Days and House activities promote teamwork and physical well-being, supporting an active, healthy school lifestyle.
