                   Rationale    The activities programme is a vital part of student life and learning. The programme  activities are divided into six categories linking to our UWCSEA skills and qualities  where our students will develop, explore and engage in activities beyond the  classroom. By trying out new things, they discover what they are good at, and are  motivated to succeed.    Wellness for Life  These activities will develop an understanding of the relationship between a healthy  body and a healthy mind. The value of self-discipline, awareness and confidence are  important aspects as you invest in your body and mind.     Mind Matters  These activities require students to inquire, question and make connections.  Mind  Matters focuses on problem-solving, analysis and evaluation in a variety of different  settings.      Arts and Performance  Activities that promote visual, auditory and movement expression.  Originality,  collaboration and perseverance are important skills.     Dragons Sport  Representative sports at UWCSEA East promotes confidence, resilience and  determination throughout a wide variety of competitive sports on offer.  Commitment,  dedication and sportsmanship are essential components of sport.     Learn and Lead  Communicate and lead through collaboration in diverse settings.  You will assume  shared responsibility and resolve issues whilst working with others.   Flexibility,  adaptability and cooperation will be required to develop trust and influence as a  leader.         Create and Innovate  These activities encourage students to unleash curiosity, generate new possibilities  and alternative ideas.  Students are encouraged to be original, adaptable and to  improvise whether working with engines, food or robotics.
