Community Enrichment Programme
The Oxford School believes that it’s most important responsibility is to create responsible & compassionate human beings who are well equipped to support & be a productive part of our community. With this objective in mind a formal Community Enrichment Program (CEP) is in place & it is an integral part of the school curriculum.
CEP helps our sixth form students to interact & forge links not only within the school community but also with the community at large. The activities planned under the CEP help to increase our students’ participation in community service & also sensitizes students to the needs of the community at large.
Our CEP is implemented as follows:
Face to face Service
Students have a direct contact with those benefiting from the service. For example: mentoring at school; interacting with special needs students; visiting charitable organizations.
Non- Contact Service
Students perform a service without having a direct contact with the beneficiaries. Usually resources/funds are are collected to address a chosen issue. For example: toys, food & clothing drives, fundraisers, environmental projects, etc.
Students Voice
Student representatives educate the student body about a chosen issue every week through assemblies, skits or posters. The aim is to create awareness & hence try to address the cause of the issue. Our Community Enrichment Program encompasses the following areas:
- Teach-in Day
- Visiting and serving at social organizations—association with Al Manzil
- Organizing fund raising activities at school
