SECONDARY EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Anglophone Section students are actively encouraged to take part in extra-curricular clubs and activities. These activities provide an opportunity to develop new skills and to gain valuable hands-on experience. At secondary level a wide range of activities are offered, a sample of which are shown below.
Collège Drama Club
The collège Drama Club aims to help students develop focus, confidence and overall performance skills while learning how to cooperate with others. Students also develop their public speaking and presenting skills, which helps them in their classes. Every year the Club works towards a production, which is performed for parents, family and friends at the school. Previous performances have included versions of Bugsy Malone, Blood Brothers, The Importance of Being Earnest and many others.
Model United Nations (MUN) Debating Clubs
At its heart, the Model United Nations (MUN) club is a debating club, open to mainly lycée students. Each week the students meet to debate current events using the debating procedure laid down by the United Nations General Assembly. This allows them to develop confidence, mental agility, research and public-speaking skills, as well as a good understanding of the formal debating and decision-making process. The MUN Club members also form the core of the organising committee for the annual International Lyon Model United Nations (ILYMUN) conference.
​
The Youth Model United Nations debating club is open to collège students and run by lycée students, who share their experience of debating procedure and public speaking skills with the younger students.
Basketball Club
The long-running Basketball Club was founded by an Anglophone Section teacher and currently runs through the CSI Association Sportive. The sounds of squeaky sneakers, pounding basketballs and coaching calls fill the gym for just over an hour every week! The aim of the Basketball club is to encourage teamwork, the development of individual skills, and to foster a cooperative spirit based on mutual support and fun
Creative Writing Club
The Creative Writing Club is a fun activity for student writers to work together in a mutually-supportive environment as they develop their own 'voices'. The club meets weekly, exploring different writing styles and taking on challenges set by the teacher. At the end of the school year, an Anthology of their best works is created to be shared with family and friends.
