Clubs
School Clubs enable the students to develop their talent. We at CCHSS recognize that the effective learning does not always take place exclusively in the classroom so we provide ample opportunities to broaden learning horizons through various clubs. Each club in school tries to provide enriching and self learning activities in their own way. These clubs enable the students to interact with peers and learn from adults. Participation in extracurricular activities contributes to a better academic performance and psychological well being.
