Co-curricular activities play a vital role in holistic education and ensuring the well-being of each student. As the perfect complement to academics, the School provides students with many opportunities to engage in various co-curricular activities including sports, music, painting, acting, and After-School Activities (ASAs).

Gecko Athletics

2024 was yet another great year for Gecko Athletics. The School sent teams to all nine SIASA tournaments over the three seasons and successfully hosted two tournaments at OSC, for the first time since 2018. All of the other nine SAISA schools visited OSC in November for Boys Volleyball and later in February for Girls football.

OSC’s Gecko Athletes strengthened the bond of old friendships and created new ones, swapped jerseys, hoodies, and swim caps, and were role models and sports stars for the primary classes that they visited.

Gecko Gear, featuring original OSC designs and merchandise items sold to support the service programme “Kids on Campus”, became more visible around the School and the region. It was worn with pride by athletes from Grade 4 through to the graduating Class of 2024, as well as by visitors who purchased the newly marketed Gecko Gear as a memento of their experience of OSC hospitality.

It was with sadness that the School bid farewell to athletes in the graduating class who enjoyed two normal years of competition in their Diploma years. At their leaving assembly, they were awarded certificates for their “Outstanding Contributions to Gecko Athletics”.
