Extra Curricular Activities
Extra Curricular (EC) activities play an important part in the life of Bonn International School. The school offers a broad and balanced programme of sport and non-sport activities suited to different age groups and interests. These activities take place either during lunch time or after school and are run by staff members or other qualified coaches/leaders. Activities can vary from year to year, but always include a wide range of sports, dance, music, drama, math and science and Model United Nations.
The EC Sport Programme offers both recreational and interscholastic sporting opportunities. BIS founded the German International Schools Sports Tournament (GISST see www.gisst.bonn-is.de) that brings 9 international schools together for quality sporting activities at both U14 and varsity (Grade 9- 12) levels. BIS is also a member of the ISST organisation (www.isstsports.org) and competes in ISST football and basketball tournaments at varsity level. The school strongly encourages the active participation of all students. EC Sport offered during the 2009-2010 school year include: badminton, basketball, cross-country, dance, football/soccer, golf, gymnastics, softball, swimming, tennis, touch rugby, track & field athletics and volleyball.
The EC Non-Sport Programme offers an equally diverse and interesting selection of activities. These encourage creativity and allow students to pursue their interests at deeper levels. Clubs and activities this school year include Model United Nations, Cooking club, Boy/Girl Scouts, robotics, math, language classes and art and crafts. In addition, there are a number of musical offerings, including school bands, blues band and choir as well as saxophone and string instrument groups.
Specific information about individual activities is located in the community section of the website (login required).
In addition to the activities mentioned above which are specific to BIS students, the school is open to some outside organisations. These organisations offer activities of special interest to our students and yet are open to children not attending BIS as well. One such activity is scouting, with both Girl and Boy scout groups meeting regularly at BIS. For more information about the Boy Scouts, please consult their website at http://www.bonn-boyscouts.de!
