Extra-Curricular Activities

Clubs, activities, and opportunities to explore interests and passions

Academic and Intellectual

After-school homework assistance is provided for CE1 to CM2 by a group of experienced teachers to help with completing and tracking homework, structuring work methodically, and learning lessons. The service aims to offer support and guidance rather than remediation. It fosters organizational skills, independent study habits, and a regular academic routine outside standard class time.

Arts and Creative

Arts Plastiques develops artistic sense, imagination, and creativity through a variety of crafts and materials; productions are created, displayed, and shared. Atelier Creation enables students to create, design, and bring objects to life using different materials. Musique, Theatre, and Danse enrich artistic expression and performance, while Rythmo Kids Muzik provides rhythm-based percussion activities that build coordination and teamwork.

Cultural and Language

English at the school is taught with daily immersion by native-English-speaking teachers from multiple countries, offering the best of both French and English. The International Section opened in September 2017 across pre-primary, primary, and secondary levels. By the 2022-2023 school year the entire primary section will be in the International Section. An annual English Week and related language projects enhance language learning.

Social and Hobbies

A broad array of after-school activities is offered, including badminton, basketball, football, gymnastics, handball, rollers, tennis, archery, and dance, organized under the Sports Committee with activity facilitators. Cultural and other activities—such as arts, creation, music, and theatre—are also available. Activities carry trimester fees (Rs 2,100 per activity per term) and sign-up procedures are in place for changes and new enrollments.

Leadership and Professional

The school maintains a Conseil de Vie Collégienne (Student Council) with members including the Cheffe d'Etablissement, the Conseillère d'Éducation, representatives of teachers, representatives of parents, and student representatives. The listed members for 2020-2021 illustrate the council's structure and participation by both staff and families.

Lifestyle and Wellbeing

Students are generally interested in physical activity and participate in the APSA activities offered in the program. The program emphasizes a balanced relationship with the body, readiness to learn, and a positive effort, with mixed-gender participation maintained across cycles 2, 3, and 4.

École du Centre - Collège Pierre Poivre is a private school in Helvetia, Saint Pierre, Mauritius, offering a French curriculum for ages 3 to 15. Founded in 1991, the school sits on a single campus near a sports complex, within a Mauritian setting. It is accredited by AEFE as a French-program establishment, and teaching follows the standards of the French Ministry of National Education. An AEFE agreement provides teacher secondments, inspection and advisory support, reinforcing educational excellence. The school combines a bilingual environment, with English taught by native speakers from early years, and celebrates Mauritian history and culture through uniforms, religious classes for those who wish, and local context. The International Section, opened in 2017, means most primary students receive English-language immersion. Notable features include a library, a science laboratory, a multipurpose hall, and integrated arts and culture projects with local and international artists, enriching both academic and creative development.
