Extra –Curricular Activities

Our program aims to develop and encourage student talents and interests, providing them with the opportunity to extend their learning beyond the classroom, and foster active and global citizenship.

Schedules are updated every year to meet the needs and interests of students and promote their personal development and respond to the talents of teachers who arrive. The program runs through most of the school year starting from September to June, although some activities are condensed due to the weather conditions.

Student Leadership

At RAK academy, we believe that students should have the opportunity to participate actively in academy life by taking up roles and responsibilities throughout the academic year in order to contribute to whole Academy improvement.
This is key to a deeper student engagement and enables our students to participate in the sort of leadership opportunities which prepare them for life. They have a very important role to play in the day-to-day organisation of our Academy.
Student Leadership aims to develop young leaders in our academy who are committed to making a difference to their own lives and to the lives of others.
It builds the necessary skills, confidence and motivation for young people to engage directly in the wider improvement of the academy and, in particular, in the improvement of the learning experience. It enables students to become advocates for their own needs and the needs of others. The Student Leadership Team leaders work as a team across the academy, ensuring there is a consistent approach from Early Years through to Grade 12.
