Activities
Berlin British School believes that non-academic activities make a vital contribution in helping pupils build self-esteem, learn respect for other pupils, and of course forge lasting friendships. Pupils look forward to the annual ski trip to Austria and the annual adventure weekend to Blossin. Regular school plays, musicals, and concerts introduce pupils to the rewards of performing for their parents and peers. Several dozen clubs meet weekly on different days after school, offering pupils an unparalleled range of extracurricular activities.
Please find attached the club sign-up form for the Autumn Term.
