Extracurriculars
At Our Savior, our approach to education includes a holistic formation of our students. Supporting this, we have a number of clubs and extracurricular opportunities that students are able to take part in. These opportunities are offered in order to help support the family in raising up well-rounded and well-educated future leaders for our society.
