Extra-Curricular Activities


Extracurricular activities are a vital component of education, playing a central role in shaping benevolent and wholesome young individuals. Beyond the confines of traditional classrooms, these activities offer a holistic development experience and we believe that education goes beyond academics. Extracurricular activities provide students with a platform to develop socially, emotionally, and physically. By engaging in a diverse range of activities, it promotes comprehensive growth, preparing students for the complexities and opportunities they will encounter later in life.


Participation in extracurricular activities at Pal Buddhist School fosters essential character traits that serve as the bedrock of benevolence and wholesomeness, such as:

  • teamwork
  • leadership
  • responsibility
  • discipline
  • and empathy 

These qualities empower students to make positive societal contributions, often through community engagement and service initiatives, nurturing civic responsibility and a drive to effect change. Furthermore, extracurricular involvement enhances students' social skills, emotional wellbeing, fostering self-esteem and effective communication. Exposure to these activities broadens horizons and introduces students to lifelong interests, contributing to their personal fulfillment and happiness. Our commitment to diverse extracurricular opportunities reflects our dedication to nurturing well-rounded individuals who excel both academically and as compassionate, engaged citizens.
