EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
As with all our schools, King’s College Panama offers a rich range of activities outside the classroom (depending on what form these take, additional fees may apply). For us, these form a part of developing a sense of independence, as well as opportunities to socialise and just have fun with friends. The options may vary over time, depending on staff availability and expertise, but this is an important part of school life and we will make sure that our activities are held to the same standard as all of our work with your children.
This year our aim is to offer the children a variety of experiences and clubs to address different needs and interests of our student body. The majority of the clubs will now take place at the end of the day and will run from 3:30 - 4:30pm.
A school bus service will be available after the clubs. This will be a limited service and will be different routes to the normal bus service and an additional cost will be charged for this service.
Art Club
The children will have the opportunity to do both collective and individual work using a range of different techniques; paint, sketching, collage, clay, etc. For this club they will need a t-shirt or apron to protect their uniforms while doing art and crafts.
BALLET
Ballet promotes coordination and group work developing the imagination and teaching each student to express themselves and tell a story through movement. Students learn the basic techniques of classical ballet according to their experience. A trained ballet teacher from Fusion Panama will come to school to teach the students.
YOGA
Introducing children to yoga at an early age can help them learn healthy lifestyle habits and set the foundation for a fit future. We are offering this activity for the first time this year, due to high demand from parents. María Lourdes de Mackrill an experienced yoga instructor offers yoga classes lasting 1 hour. The activity is offered for students from Reception to Year 3.
GUITAR
Between the different courses Mr. Laverde can offer you will find guitar, through this instrument I teach the basic principles, its parts and its execution using songs that are easy to play. If your children have an interest in music, then learning to play the guitar is a skill that will benefit them throughout their entire life. For the guitar lesson the students need to bring their own guitar.
TAEKWONDO
