Activities, Clubs & Associations

Methodist College prides itself on providing a nurturing environment that encourages the girls to explore their interests and discover their strengths through a variety of activities and clubs, beginning in the Primary. Students’ enthusiasm to participate in intra- and inter-school events such as concerts, competitions, exhibitions, and cultural and religious programmes is boosted by their participation in these clubs and societies. They offer innumerable opportunities for the girls to develop the confidence, life skills and social skills that they carry with them for a lifetime.
