Clubs & Sports

Co-curricular life

Naparima Girls' High School runs as many as 47 extracurricular clubs, most meeting at lunchtime with no membership fees for most clubs. Every student is encouraged to join at least one club from Form One. Known clubs include the Languages Club, the Eco-Activists Club (which meets Mondays at 12:00 noon in the Biology labs and runs a paper/plastic recycling drive), and Red Cross first-aid training.

The House system

Students belong to one of five Houses, each named after a notable woman and identified by a colour worn as a pin on the uniform blouse:

• Archibald — blue (named after Adella Archibald)
• Cavell — green (named after Edith Cavell)
• Curie — red (named after Marie Curie)
• Keller — yellow (named after Helen Keller)
• Scrimgeour — purple (named after Margaret Scrimgeour, a past Principal)

The main annual inter-House competitions are Sports Day and Pep Rally, Calypso, the Inter-House Arts Festival, Inter-House Debating/Public Speaking, Cricket and Badminton.
