This year school decided to do away with games clubs and focus on creative and unique clubs that promise to inspire and engage students in productive enterprises. However, this was not to ignore games at all, it was rather to draw a line between clubs and games. Games are for all and school took the wise decision not to isolate it for few within the games clubs, as it used to be.

Among the many new clubs the teachers devised, there were a few clubs that are mendetory for every school to have which will be overlooked by parent organizations beyond schools. They are GNH Club, UNESCO Club, SAP Club, School Law Club and School Democracy Club.
