Middle School Clubs Perspective
Middle school is a dynamic time
in lives of adolescents and pathways middle school scholars are no exception!
Ore changes occur more changes occur during this period of time than in any
other time in their lives with the exception of birth through age 2. Academic
Social emotional and physical maturation are important, but a layer of fun and
the development of lifelong relationship are the icing on this cake at Pathways.
To further enhance the icing,
student club programs has been an essential part in Middle school. Middle
School clubs provide opportunities to engage in activities outside the
classroom.
It allow for the expression of already existing passions and the discovery
of new ones, provide leadership opportunities and advance service work, both in
the Pathways community and beyond its walls. Students work collaboratively with
classmates and students from other grades, develop cooperative skills and
engage in fun extracurricular learning.
Students are encouraged to choose
a different club activity every year which enables wider experience and thereby
develop their talents. The various clubs on offer are –
Robotics & Science Club,
Chess Club, Community Service Club, Public Speaking Club, Mandarin Language
Club, Coding Club, Drama, Dance, Indian & Western Music Clubs, Cooking Club
and Graphic Designing.
Some of the student’s
testimonials
In the drama club we have adopted
many skills like on the spot thinking and thinking over a stimulus and creating
a play. We even learnt how to cooperate with our fellow actors.
Rishab Menon, Drama Club
I feel the Community Service club
really put the world around us in perspective. There are the few, like us, who
are fortunate to obtain a good education and life. Then there is the many, who
have few to little opportunities for a good life. It is our duty to create
these opportunities for them.
Ishaan Gupta, CS Club
We learnt how to play different
instruments such as djembe, conga, bongo and dholak. We leant new Taal (tunes)
and beats, Overall we loved the percussion club as we have the passion for
percussion instruments and the club helped us get better at them. The teacher was awesome and supported us
throughout.

Senior School Clubs Perspective
In the senior school club assembly, we showcased all the learning, and performances we had learned throughout the year. It was a great sight to watch our mates performing and sharing their learning in front of the school.
We
heard some beautiful and melodies
music by the Music club. The music they performed was sensational and
beautiful. Then the Robotics club showed their learning experience through
sharing some knowledge they had with the audience. Their sketch up skills were
amazing. The cookery club showed us some
mouthwatering dishes with a knowledgeable quiz about the food ingredients and
thanked Ms Maneet Singh, the parent who had run it.
We also saw some glimpse of
the work and projects done by the Art group in this year. Their models were
very innovative with some brilliant ideas. We saw some beautiful photographs by
the Photography club. The knowledge they shared to with us was really helpful,
like one when they told us about the aperture control. The Pottery club showed
us some of their beautiful design and methods. They mentioned some very
informative videos and pictures in their presentation.
The Drama club’s act was
full of emotions and with a great moral. Their act was very sensational and the
assembly would have been incomplete without it. The Vocal music group’s song
had a very good melody and tone. At last the dance club’s performance was full
of energy and was performed with great spirit.
Finally, I would say that clubs
are something which develop our talent and gives us a stage and chance to show
it to the people. It is a platform which is given to us for showing and improve
our talent shaping it into something great. These talents can also turn out to
be our passion or profession later in life.
