Today’s high school system’s experience pressure several sides. Curriculum changes, technological advances, personnel shifts obstruct the educational landscape and can obscure the fundamental needs of our country’s youth that our educational system was built to meet and realize. However, while classroom time is vital to our students’ success, we must remember that the experience of the classroom setting alone doesn’t develop the well-rounded character and fortitude necessary for an individual to succeed in this changing world.
Extracurricular activities that provide environments beyond the classroom in which our students can grow and develop are vital to their success, and no extracurricular opportunity available to our students today can match the proven benefits that involvement in inter-house and inter-school sports provides. Hence, Advaith hosts several Inter-House sports tournaments throughout the academic year. Over 1270 students participate in our inter-house sports and some of our athletes participating in two events! Besides, Advaith also congregates Inter-School tournament annually inviting schools from Hosur and Bangalore. The first tournament; Advaith Sports Championship in 2019 – 2020 witnessed over 1400 students participating across Football, Volleyball and Basketball in the boys’ and girls’ categories. Competitions play a role in motivating students to perform and excel and offer a lot more reward than just winning medals and trophies. Competitions offer a chance for participants to gain substantial experience, showcase skills, exhibit and evaluate outcomes and uncover personal and team capacity. Sports tournaments also encourage students to adopt newer techniques, strategies and develop along.
“Did you know? Our students conduct and organize major parts of the tournaments and they are shareholders of the tournaments!”
