Life Beyond Curriculum
Sherwood High believes that there is more to a child’s academic life than just his books. From creative skills to sportsmanship to a host of life skills, Sherwood High believes in the holistic development of a child. Take a look at the world of opportunities that we open up for your child.
Sports
Whatever you want to do, do with full passion and work really hard towards it. Don’t look anywhere else– Virat Kohli, Cricketer
The beauty of a good game is that it teaches you so many things – hard work, teamwork, pride in victory and, sportsmanship in defeat. Each of these goes a long way in helping a young child face the challenges of life. With a robust sports program in place, Sherwood High ensures not just physical development, but all-round ethical, and mental growth as well.

Clubs
“Creativity is Intelligence Having Fun”.– Albert Einstein
Have you ever seen the look of wonder that crosses a young child’s face when he encounters something new? Have you heard the squeals of surprise and long drawn enunciation of wow when brought face to face with something fascinating? These sounds of wonder and awe are part of every student’s day here at Sherwood High thanks to the over 42 school clubs that we have. From the fascinating worlds of literary characters, to machinations of mathematics, to discovering everyday Nature around us, to uncovering more of our heritage as well as getting creative with their hands – we have a series of hands-on activities across clubs that students can be a part of.
The Arts
“Every Child is an Artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up”. – Pablo Picasso
And that the artist in a child never fades away is what we aim for here at Sherwood High. The encouragement and training given is to bring out hidden talents and ensure that children are always connected to their creative and imaginative sides.
The level of artwork taught in classes is on the basis of grades. Grades 5and above are given canvases and are taught to use acrylic paints. Grades 4 and below work with pencil shading, oil pastels and water colours.

Student Council
Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow at Sherwood High
The Student Council at Sherwood High comprises the Head Girl and Head Boy, The captains of the 4 school houses and the vice-captains; the Sports Captain, Vice-Sports Captain, and the prefects. These leaders take on immense responsibilities all through the academic year. You will see that during school competitions they are assigned with specific tasks by the mentors of their houses. These are carried out with immense attention to detail. For the assemblies and activities, they are entrusted with themes and materials and have the responsibility of encouraging classes to come forward and work together.
School Assemblies
Another creative outlet for children are the assemblies that are conducted not just the traditional way, with the entire school, but grade and section-wise as well. A theme is chosen and presented to the children of a class. They are given designated days when they will have to put together an entire assembly, for the students of other sections of their grade. The performances can be skits, songs, and other relevant acts. The key is that the whole class is involved and the work appreciated by their peers. The themes are assigned at the beginning of the year, as are performance days for each grade.

Co-Curricular Activities
Going Beyond the Curriculum – Sherwood’s range of extra-curricular activities
We understand that breaking away from the monotony of everyday studying invigorates children. That is why we have a range of extra-curricular activities for them
Colour Days: The vibrancy of childhood is always associated with the brilliance of colours. At Sherwood High, we have colour days once every month. A colour is chosen and children are to come to school in that hue. All activities for the day are around this colour.
Trips
Co-Curricular activities supplement the academic curriculum to bring variety to the classroom. Much social development takes place during these trips and encourages social-emotional development as well as academic learning. We want our students to become courageous and to experience things first hand. A child’s heart seeks knowledge and yearns for fun as well as learning through the experience of new and exciting things, places, and people.
An educational trip is an off-campus learning activity that brings excitement and adventure to learning. To this end, we take advantage of our local and regional environment by visiting historic sites as well as engaging in team-building exercises. The school gladly endures the expense and disruption of the normal school routines. The objective behind these school trips is to help students understand more about the concepts taught in classrooms and recollect what they have learned about our culture and traditions through their books.
