Extra Curricular Activities
Extra
Curricular Activities or more appropriately Co-Curricular Activities at
Lakshmipat Singhania Academy are its potential strength. Here students are
provided with all opportunities to develop their skills and improve their
performances through a healthy spirit of competition. The track record of
the Extra Curricular Department of the Primary as well as Secondary School,
in both – Internal and External competitions stands testimony to our claim.
Children participate in a large number of events and win a good number in
them.
Activities form an essential & vital part of the curriculum of LSA. The final result of each student is the sum total of his Academic & Non Academic performance.

yielded excellent results. For example children even 4 years old were asked
to close their eyes and listen to background music. Let it sink into their
minds and then portray the concretized image of their experience. Some dunes
and caravans of camel etc. which were very pertinent. Other creative originalities
were also noticed in their rendition of the fusion theme that was offbeat.

and satisfy their boundless curiosity. Regular exercise in quizzing is done
to enrich their budding minds. Quizzing interests everyone, although the
means may be different. While some like to actually take part in the quiz,
