Specialist Clubs
At the Westminster School we make every effort to understand each individual child’s strengths and aptitude, to see how we can best address them. A range of specialist clubs provide enhanced guidance and training to students, helping them enhance their skills in their particular field of interest. Such focused learning helps students work well in groups, take responsible and independent decisions, and understand better their areas of potential and proficiency.
The specialist clubs at The Westminster School include:
• Art and Craft Club
Art and craft specialist club is introduced at an early stage to help the students in the pursuit of artistic and creative excellence.
• Environment Club
The Westminster School Environment Club is a part of the United Nation’s Environment Programme and with the Emirates Environment Group. As part of the Club, students participate in various clean up drives, they learn more about the environment and the conservation and management of resources. The students are driven by the enthusiasm to make sure the environment they live in is clean and conducive to learning. This has been extended to recycling waste and cleaning neighbouring public areas.
