Coding / Robotics

Every day, small groups of P7 and P8 students meet to learn the basics of coding and computer programming through educational apps on tablets.

This club helps students to develop their critical thinking skills as they learn to manipulate computer code, a vital skill in our technology driven world.

Remedial English and Mathematics

On Mondays through Fridays, small groups of P3 and P4 students meet to practice their English and Mathematics skills with the help of two teachers.

The small class size and slow pace of these sessions allow students to learn in a low stress environment with more individual attention from their teachers.

Let Me Speak Club

This club meets twice a week; Tuesdays for female P6-P8 students and Fridays for female P4-P5 students. The club is managed by Primary 7 teacher, Tabisa Agum, a graduate of Loreto Girls Secondary School.

During meetings, the girls learn about menstruation, hygiene and cultural practices that discriminate against girls and women. The club also provides the girls with an opportunity to develop their English conversation skills through poetry.

Sport at Loreto Rumbek

Students play football and volleyball competitively with organized tournaments such as the Principal’s Cup, between upper primary school students and teachers.

Engineering Club

Each week, small groups of P7 students meet to build simple machines and structures using wood or Engino (Lego-like) blocks, with the assistance of a teacher. This club helps students to learn the basics of engineering and to develop their critical thinking skills.

Science Exploration / Remedial Mathematics

School kids in a classroom

P5 and P6 students meet on Monday through Thursday each week, in groups of 20 or less, to conduct science experiments and to improve their Mathematics skills. The science explorations are based on the science topics currently being studied in class and are facilitated by a teacher.
