St Francis Sports
Academy
St. Francis School ICSE is focussed not only on the education of its students but also helps
determine the student’s talents and helps in the development of this talent.
Sports and Club activities came into existence in the year 2015 as “Extracurricular
activities” which were Cricket, Athletics, Dance, Art & Craft and English elocution. As the
students began to show interest in curricular activity the school management decided to
have more activities in the following years.
In 2018, St. Francis Sports Academy came in to existence with a variety of activities for
students to learn and grow with their talents. We have 2 different categories of activities
like Sports (outdoor) and Club activities (classroom). Sports activities like Cricket,
Basketball, Football, Badminton, Skating and Handball are done after school hours and
Club activities like English elocution, Abacus, Art & craft, Dance (Bollywood, Western &
Classical), Robomation, Calligraphy, Vedic maths and Music like Keyboard, Western &
Hindustani Vocal.
Every year we conduct a Summer Camp from March end to April end for almost 30 days
with limited activities and Co-Curricular activities (CCA) during the academic year.
