This is a personal development programme comprised of different levels where students complete activities and challenges to demonstrate their abilities to work as part of a team.
Participating in the European Youth Parliament allows pupils to develop a thorough knowledge of the European Union, an understanding of how decisions are made in the European Parliament and the knowledge required to form their own opinions and to discuss issues that affect Europe in a critical and constructive way.
The EYP sessions give pupils the chance to demonstrate their linguistic skills in English and their public speaking abilities. They also use teamwork and research skills, and have a chance to improve their confidence and self-assurance when defending a motion. It is an excellent addition to their CV when applying to international universities.
Robotic competitions and challenges offer pupils at Caxton College the opportunity to compete with other schools and gain invaluable skills and experience while working as a team meet this challenges. Every year Caxton pupils participate in Desafió Robot which takes place in the City of Sciences in Valencia where students from all over the Valencian community build robots which compete against each other. Having these skills will add value to the curriculum of our students especially in the fields of Science and Engineering.
The school organises educational campaigns with experience-based activities in association with some of these special days, with the aim of raising students’ awareness of the importance of human values in their lives.
Some of the activities take place in conjunction with the world day of books, music, the internet, smiles, sport, science or freedom of expression.
On these trips organised by the school, pupils develop different abilities, work together in a new environment and take on new challenges; but most of all, they learn to overcome any fears or uncertainties through these activities.
These trips are an incredible opportunity to improve personal skills such as independent learning, self-management, communication, teamwork, problem-solving and leadership qualities.
One of the most important tasks that the school undertakes is not only to guarantee the academic level of its pupils, but also to provide them with a broad curriculum that offers them ways to develop spiritually, morally, socially and culturally.
This artistic initiative allows our Secondary students to demonstrate their talents and English language skills. In addition, it allows both students and adults to work together as a team.
Participating in such an enriching academic activity reinforces the students’ self-confidence, improves their communication skills and enhances their language skills. It also fosters creativity and develops empathy, emotional intelligence, responsibility and commitment in the student actors. Dramatic art is an incredibly fun activity that allows our pupils to form new bonds of friendship.
