Our co-curricular highlights
High potential and gifted education (HPGE)
Our (HPGE) program challenges students with enrichment activities like Da Vinci Decathlon, Tournament of Minds, and Debating. These are designed to extend the thinking of these students, and are structured around developing various cognitive skills, such as lateral thinking, analytical thinking, and critical thought.
Performing arts
NEPS has a strong tradition of music and theatre, with all students taking part in Drama, Choir, Dance, and Instrumental Music. Every second year, the program culminates in Celebration Night—a large-scale public performance featuring every student, supported by skilled parents, including actors, playwrights, sound engineers, and musicians.
Students can also learn an instrument individually through lessons arranged with the nearby Conservatorium. These lessons take place at school, with affordable fees and instrument hire. Many students progress to the School Band, which welcomes musicians of all skill levels.
Technology
At NEPS, technology is a key part of how we learn. Our well-equipped classrooms help students build an interest in technology. Our dedicated teachers provide engaging and interactive lessons for students. Students can interact with technology to research, program and do science experiments.
Craft club
A lunchtime activity where senior students teach crafting techniques like making pipe-cleaner flowers, chatterboxes, and paper chains.
