Some pupils take on official responsibilities such as Sports ambassadors, Sports captains, Heads of committees and Heads of Student Council. 3 Interdisciplinary Learning Interdisciplinary learning approaches are used to connect learning across subject areas and relate this to school and wider social contexts. A range of Interdisciplinary projects exist from S1 to S3.
