The Aga Khan School recognises the importance of a well-rounded education that extends beyond the classroom.

Students can pursue a wide range of intellectual, sporting and social activities. The School has frequent Inter-School Competitions with students participating in badminton, basketball, volleyball, soccer and cricket. Besides sports, they can participate in public speaking and Debate, Science, Charity and Cultural Clubs. Cultural and drama presentations are organised frequently to enhance and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Bangladesh.

Switch Day
Numerous events are organised throughout the year to balance the academic routine. Every year since 1992, Grade 12 students have exchanged roles with teaching staff. For an entire day, students become teachers to have a taste of an educator’s life. This learning experience helps them realise the challenges teachers face.

Student organised activities
The School has many student-organised activities. A Student Council is elected from Class 12 and chaired by the School Head Boy and Head Girl. School prefects are selected through an interview and recommendation process.

The School Council and Prefects actively organise events such as:

• Debate Competitions
• Open House (Science and Social Studies Fair)
• Science Quiz
• Picnic Day
• Charity Club (Raises funds for the Children Hospital, Flood victims and Orphanages)
• Aga Khan School, Dhaka Olympics
• Interschool Tournaments (Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball and Cricket)
• Interschool Dance and Music Competition
• Meena Bazaar (An annual market day event)
• Principal’s Cup (An annual event run as part of the Intra-Mural Programme to foster healthy sports competition between classes).

These activities encourage students to develop organisational and leadership skills and foster a sense of school community.
