Culture and Clubs
Educating the whole learner – body, mind and spirit.
Stanford Lake College students have the opportunity to represent the school in a number of cultural activities annually including a Cultural Extravaganza, two eisteddfods, debating competitions as well as participating in external music and drama examinations. One of the most loved events on the school’s annual calendar is the house singing competition, where each boarding house melodies it out to be crowned the champions. On a biannual basis, the school puts together a Talent Showcase as well as a musical or school play.
There is also a weekly culture period where all students choose an activity of their choice each term. The culture options for clubs and societies which include drama, music, percussion, and choir prove to be very popular among the pupils.
​
During the weekly culture period, pupils have can choose from one of the following activities: Adventure, Chess, Debating, Drama, Film, Fly Tying, Healthy Living, Music (including Choir, Drumming and Marimbas), Photography, Read with Me, Robotics, Round Square Society, Refereeing, Speakers and STEM.
CHESS
The chess club is not just for the chess veterans, but for people interested in learning the game too! It gives its members a chance to play against wide variety of players, learn new strategies to improve their game as well as develop pattern recognition. A good sense of sportsmanship is also taught. With our member numbers increasing, chess is becoming a well-established club at Stanford.
