Secondary Activity Programme (Years 7 to 13)

Secondary activities take place once per week on Wednesdays from 2.35 to 3.15pm. The scheduled activities change four times each year, meaning that students get lots of opportunities to try out a wide variety of activities during their time at Lanna. Students have the option to change activities each quarter or, of course, continue with an activity that they wish to take further. On occasion some students may be directed to specific academic assistance activities, if it is felt that they are in need of the additional help at this time. This is done through discussion with the students concerned.

We are very pleased to announce that Karate has been added as an activity option in response to many student requests for some form of martial arts. We now have a highly qualified instructor coming into school each week to provide instruction in the art of Karate. If you are interested in reading about Karate etiquette click here.
