The school
attaches great importance to co-curricular activities.
All children are encouraged to develop some hobbies.
A healthy mind in a healthy body is the key to all-round
development and this is ensured through various leisure
activities and physical sports. |

Art
and Craft
 Art
and craft form an integral part of the academic curriculum.
Students take part in occasional on-the-spot painting
and drawing competitions organised in school and by outside
agencies. This provides a fillip to the innate creativity
of the children. Regular Art & Craft classes enhance
the aesthetic sensibilities of the children. |

Dance
and Drama
 A
lot of encouragement is given to children who have an
aptitude for dance and drama. Classes in Indian dance
are held during school hours for Classes III-V. |

Indian
and Western Music
 Both
Indian and Western music are taught in Birla High School.
Special effort is made to tap the talent of the boys who
have a natural flair for singing. The concepts of beauty,
creativity, rhythm and harmony are thus skilfully woven
into the school curriculum. |

of the teachers. The club activities develop both intellect

to old age homes etc. are other activities that find pride
of place in the school calendar.

the Best House receives a rolling trophy at the end of
the academic session. |
