CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

We believe that in order to enrich a child’s educational experience, it is important that every student is given an opportunity to develop their artistic talent. The School considers Music and Art as an important part of a student’s life and encourages students to take up both contemporary and classical forms of music, dance and creative. Dramas, plays, and painting are some of the main creative arts programs that are held in Maria Montessori every year during the Arts Festival. Extra-curricular activities like chess, debating, quizzing etc are also given top priorities. The school has quiz teams that participate in both state and national competitions.

We also focus on preserving the cultural heritage, and thus, we encourage our students to actively take part in traditional martial dance forms such as velakali, kathakali, etc.

We support all our students to participate in the regional and national competitions in drama and fine arts. Participation in such events will instill a sense of accomplishment, camaraderie and public and personal confidence that will help students to become smart and creative citizens of tomorrow.

Students must choose an extracurricular activity and we provide professional training every week for the activities chosen by them. Our array of activities include:

DANCE CLASSES

For all our students with an interest in dancing, we provide dance classes on a weekly basis. We also encourage our students to take part in cultural competitions within and outside of the school.

CO-CURRICULAR ACHIEVEMENTS And SPORTS ACTIVITIES

At Maria Montessori, we believe that every child must bring out their sporting talent in order to develop their necessary personal and interpersonal skills as well as gain personal meaning from participation. The school has reserved one working day of the week (Wednesday) for physical training and education. The physical education program includes exercises and participating in games. The children have an opportunity to participate in various team and individual sports like football, cricket, athletics and badminton etc.

In order to promote competition and bring out sporting talents of the students, the students are grouped into four houses. The four houses are Gandhi House, Nethaji House, Nehru House and Tagore House. The Houses compete with each other in the Sports and Games competition that are held every year. The winners and best performers of the competition are awarded medals and trophies and they are sent to represent the school regional and inter-school competitions.

BADMINTON

We understand that badminton is a popular sport amongst our students, and we also provide our students with the facility to play Badminton both indoor and outdoor.

TAEKWONDO

Our school provides facilities to children where they get exposure to popular international forms of art, and Taekwondo, a Korean martial art is one among them. Students are given training every week by a professional trainer.

ATHLETICS

Being a school which lays importance to physical education, we provide our students with the coaching necessary to enhance their athletic abilities. Many track and field events are conducted on our Sports day which is an event actively anticipated by many young athletes in school.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION

The Outdoor Education programme of Maria Montessori Central School consists of educational as well as leisure trips, both within and outside Kerala. These trips are organized so that students get to interact and learn more about the outdoors and gain a wider perspective about their surroundings. The school provides all the students with a Study Tour as a part of the academic curriculum every year. These tours are conducted by the school management and include visits to the museums, science parks, cultural centres, factories, places of tourist and historical importance and science parks.

Apart from this, the school also provides leisure tours for students. Picnics and tours to various recreational sites like beaches, parks etc are conducted so that the children interact with nature and learn more about the natural habitat. Through these Leisure trips the students get a first hand experience to learn and be a part of the local community and the wider world. Apart from the tours, the School also holds programs during festivals especially during Christmas and Onam. During Onam, the school organizes a floral carpet event that allow children to bring out their creativity by designing and laying out the traditional floral carpets.
