Guidelines and Policies on Student Organizations/Clubs/ Interest Groups

General Guidelines:

1.While the emphasis of PSHS is on academic excellence, the school realizes that he scholar’s overall development must be its ultimate concern.Thus it encourages the scholar to engage in as many and as varied as co-curricular and extra-curricular activities as time, interests and abilities would allow him. (It is encouraged that a scholar can take hold of major positions in at most 2 organizations only, but he/she can be a member of at most 5 organizations.). However, the scholar must bear in mind that academics must always take priority over extra-curricular activities.
