Funky Munky

Funky Munky, is a unique programme to GOTS which is a creative and an innovative approach to the implementation of extra-curricular activities. Whilst other establishments, fix extra-curricular hours for after academic lessons, our cheekily coined session Funky Munky, is held between the hours of 12.15-1.00pm in the afternoon.

 This out-of-the box approach effectively breaks the monotony of study and gives children a time to revitalize themselves through various programmes (other than PE) such as hip-hop dance, Japanese drums, speech and drama, taekwondo and ballet.

 This adaptation to the time-table has done wonders in creating energy amongst the children making them eager to come to school every day

As a child continues to pursue ballet, youíll see more benefits emerging – especially when they become adolescents and into the teenage years

Some of the benefits of ballet for young kids are:
