Clubs and Societies are possible one of the single most important aspects of a student's life. They are a place of friendship, personal growth, and development: they are a great way to develop one’s character and the skills that will benefit students in school, their career, and in life.

Clubs and Societies give students skills and talents that they are not able to learn or develop through normal level education: skills like commitment, leadership, effective communication and being able to work successfully in a group. It also helps to boost students’ self-esteem and self-confidence.
