Beyond Academics

Education at EGSPJ goes far beyond the classrooms. We believe that students should participate in activities which will promote their all round development and enhance their sense of personal well-being. Therefore, programmes of cultural activities, appreciation of fine arts, sports and community service are mandatory for all students in EGSPJ .

Every day, afternoon hours at the school shall be devoted to these activities. All students, boarders and day scholars, have to participate in such activities. Of course counseling and professional guidance shall be offered to children and their parents regarding the choice of programmes.

Sports & Games

Sports & Games

Participation in sports and games forms an integral part of the EGSPJ curriculum.

EGSPJ believes that organized sports activities teach the students the importance of social behavior .

Afternoon sports activity is mandatory for all students. The school encourages all students to choose at least one of the available sports and games and practice it regularly so that they will develop skills that are necessary to play at competitive level.

The play fields are extensive and include fields for Basket Ball, Volley Ball, Tennis, Table Tennis and athletics.

House system

The school believes that the house system will promote a spirit of friendly, rivalry and healthy competition in sporting, cultural and other school related activities. The houses give a feeling of belonging to members of the school from different grades in a vertical fashion. Each house will have a house master (a teacher coordinator), a house captain and a vice-captain.

Further they provide young pupils the perfect opportunity to face worldly experiences and in doing so they contribute significantly to their personality development.

Religion

The school consciously does not follow any particular faith. Students are taught to understand and respect all religions. EGSPJ community will celebrate all major religious festivals joyously to understand every religion equally.
