Sandnes International School places a high value on school activities. Simply defined, these activities teach kids values like teamwork, individual or group responsibility, physical strength, well-being, diversity, and a sense of community. We know that engaging in various school activities increases students’ sense of involvement with their school and cultivates a better learning environment. That’s why various indoor and outdoor activities are encouraged at SDIS.
Outdoor activities help students grow into caring and active individuals. So, instead of the traditional and regimented school day, SDIS encourages all of our children to be proactive. All of this is accomplished while participating in several beneficial activities throughout the school year.
Overall, outdoor learning improves kids’ learning, mental health, and well-being, but there are additional advantages:
A well-functioning psychological atmosphere is an indispensable part of our educational environment at SDIS. All students are entitled to enjoy a healthy school environment that promotes their well being as individuals. We provide all the necessary information and resources a student may need to cope with stress, anxiety, and depression.
Any form of bullying, discrimination, violence, sexism, or racism is highly despised at SDIS. We always make sure that our students have a safe place for learning.
By encouraging good mental health and wellbeing activities, SDIS strives to develop students into resilient young people. Each school activity is designed to support the welfare of our students.
Physical education is important to everyone at SDIS. School gym activities raise all of our students’ understanding of their personal physical fitness. Building a healthy mind and a healthy body is of utmost importance.
