Student Life at HPS
Life at Habib Public School is not only about academics! We know that our students’ minds need regular breaks from their rigorous studies to keep their minds well rested and to keep their energies and spirits lifted. Many studies have been done into the science of learning, and one thing that keeps resurfacing is the importance of rest! The brain needs regular mental breaks to allow it to develop new neural connections and to solidify its learning. Therefore, at HPS, we have dedicated The Office of the School Enrichment Programme to provide a variety of extracurricular opportunities to our scholars. Membership in these activities is open to all; our scholars need to simply choose the clubs and activities that most interest them to begin!
