After School Activities and Care
After-school activities play an important role in a student’s school life, as the social and emotional skills they often develop through these activities are linked to their interest in school.
These programs are not mandatory but we highly encourage students to participate in them as they are areas of learning not strictly developed in the classroom but that add value to individual competency.
Activities beyond the school day are an integral part in the overall development of a student. Participation in such activities allows a student to experience balance in life and to develop their own sense of self. UIS offers a range of activities specifically designed for appropriate aged students throughout the school year.
The “Clubs” that Uppsala International School offers give our older students a chance to own, promote and run a club that interests them. This added responsibility allows them to plan and deliver sessions, organize activities for their peers and show great leadership skills.
Not only does this give out older student’s responsibility, it allows all our students a chance to experience a number of topics outside of the curriculum to spark interests they never knew they had.
The following clubs are offered:
Journalism
The Journalism club allows students to learn how to write articles about various events, be they global or within our school community. Highlighting that journalism can be done alongside many interesting topics.
Drama
The Drama club gives students the chance to build on their self-confidence and public speaking skills. This all comes together with our school plays that give the students a chance to show their acting ability.
STEAM
The STEAM club gives our students the chance to experiment with different ideas and concepts. The innovation that comes from this is showcased in our annual STEAM fair.
Environmental
The Environmental club gives our students the chance to highlight how we are damaging the environment and also gives the opportunity for whole school campaigns to protect it.
Digital
The Digital club allows our students to understand and improve their online skills preparing them for the modern workplace.
Debates & TEDx
The debates and TEDx club give our students some excellent experience in public speaking and debating skills. This is tested through our school debates that are judged by our Headmaster and external judges.
Sports
The sports club gives our students that chance to experience curriculum sports in a fun and competitive way. It also gives our sports leaders the chance to experience some coaching and refereeing skills.
Model United Nations
The MUN club is an educational simulation in which students can learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations.
Helpers Society
The Helpers Society gives our students the chance to come up with exciting and interesting ways to run charitable events. These events build to the students delivering food parcels to many underprivileged people within the wider community.
