Other Clubs
Among the many clubs that St. Lawrence College pupils can choose from, we are especially proud of the following:
Greek Drama Club
Pupils of all nationalities and from all school years are encouraged to join this club, which meets twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Thursdays during break times.
The aim of the Greek Drama Club is to present something innovative for Greek National Celebrations, something of interest, but always related to that particular period in history. This usually includes a short play, Greek dances and songs.
Environmental Club
The Environmental Club meets once a week, usually on Fridays, and is open to all pupils in the senior school.
The aim of the club is to promote and raise awareness and understanding of environmental issues, to instil a sense of responsibility and personal commitment to protect and preserve the environment and to encourage pupils to learn more about some of the most important issues facing the world today –i.e. the benefits of recycling at home, endangered species, pollution, deforestation, and the fragility of the rainforests.
Another important objective of the club is also to give support to Greek environmental organisations, such as Arktouros and the Turtle Rescue Centre, by arranging visits and holding fundraising events.
Greek Support Club
The Greek Support Club aims to offer help to those who encounter difficulties with their Greek language skills. The club is open to native and non-native speakers alike, as well as to pupils from all years. It meets every Thursday at lunch time but participating pupils are encouraged to go and seek help any time they deem it necessary.
Yearbook Club
- The Yearbook that is produced each year is a highly prized possession for every pupil and continues to give those pupils great joy long after they leave our school. For that reason, it is important that the Yearbook is produced to the highest of standards – and that is the job of the Yearbook Club. This club is open to pupils from all years, but it is usually senior members of the school body who are the most productive in it.
- The aim of the Yearbook Club is for members to:
- Proof read yearbook pages which are being put together and critically assess them for necessary changes.
- Gather information/interview graduating pupils for the graduate page.
- Get assignments from departments or year groups to be used as resources.
- Promote regular contact with subject teachers so that club members keep abreast of events.
- Categorize resources gathered by grade, department or theme.
- Write text to go with the photographs that are to be used in the yearbook.
- Offer new ideas for the yearbook.
- Act as photographers if they wish and take photos of sporting events/other events for potential use.
Meetings happen about once per month, so that members can check on their combined progress and arrange new assignments. They usually take place during lunch break, however senior pupils often meet whenever they have free time during the day.
