Junior School Junior Clubs (Grades 4 to 6)

Ukulele: Students don’t need any ukulele experience to join this club. Participants learn some basic chords to play their favourite songs. Watercolour Wednesday: Inspired by the landscape of our very own Havergal environment, students explore the basics of watercolour and create their own masterpieces.

One Act Plays: In this club, students have the opportunity to discover their inner thespians as they create and perform their own one act plays. Science Design: Students participate in designing and building a variety of structures and contraptions with newspapers, popsicle sticks, balloons and many other recycled materials. If they can dream it, they can build it. Squad Teams: There are four Squad Teams offered to Junior students: Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer and Softball. Participants learn the fundamental skills of each sport as they practise these skills in a fun and non-competitive team-based environment.

Brain Busters: Each week students challenge their brains by working together to solve all kinds of problems, participating in trivia games and building 3D puzzles. LEGO Engineering: This club explores building mechanized LEGO devices ranging from two-legged and four-legged walking robots to LEGO Mindstorms computer- controlled devices. Mindful Moments: Girls explore the topic of mindfulness through various activities such as yoga, Zentangle, mindful walks, breathing techniques and calming meditation exercises.
