Beyond the Classroom: How Camps and Extracurricular Activities Enrich Education at Maharishi Primary School Reservoir

At Maharishi Primary School Reservoir, we believe that a better education goes far beyond the classroom. It’s about creating well-rounded individuals who are confident, curious, and connected — and that’s why camps and extracurricular activities play such an important role in our school experience.

Learning Through Experience

Some of the most powerful learning happens outside the traditional classroom. Camps and co-curricular programs offer students opportunities to:

  • Discover new skills and interests

  • Build resilience, independence, and teamwork

  • Deepen friendships through shared experiences

  • Step out of their comfort zone in a safe, supportive environment

  • Develop leadership, communication, and decision-making skills

From overnight camps to day excursions, these experiences help children apply what they learn in school to the wider world, making education more relevant and engaging.


Camps That Inspire Growth

Our school camps are thoughtfully planned to support personal growth and social development. Whether students are exploring the outdoors, learning about History or habitats, tackling a ropes course, or participating in team challenges, they are building confidence and discovering their potential.

These experiences often become some of the most memorable and meaningful moments in a child’s school life — moments that spark self-belief, resilience, and a sense of achievement.


A Range of Extracurricular Opportunities

In addition to camps, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities that help students explore their passions and talents. These may include:

  • Sports and physical activities through our Homework Club to promote health, coordination, and teamwork

  • Creative arts programs such as choir, screen writing, and visual art

  • Cultural and community events that celebrate diversity and belonging, such as our National Reconciliation Week sessions

These activities enrich our curriculum and provide students with a broader, deeper, and more enjoyable learning experience.


Supporting a Balanced Education

At Maharishi Primary School, our Consciousness-Based Education approach recognises that a better education balances academic learning with personal growth. Camps and extracurricular opportunities give students a chance to express themselves, connect with others, and develop the practical life skills they need for the future.

They also bring joy, excitement, and motivation to learning — helping students become active, engaged, and lifelong learners.


Learning for Life

By participating in camps and extracurricular activities, our students gain more than knowledge — they gain confidence, independence, and a sense of who they are. This is what truly defines a better education: one that prepares children not only for the next year of school, but for life beyond the school gates.

We’re proud to offer a rich, well-rounded program that supports the whole child — in and out of the classroom.
