Exploria (A Co-Curricular Programme)
A Welcome from the Prem Activities Director
Welcome to the Prem Exploria programme! I’m delighted to guide you through our diverse range of extracurricular opportunities that enrich our students’ lives.
Exploria is more than just an activities programme; it’s a space where students can dive into their interests, from sports and arts to science and leadership. Each activity is designed to complement our academic programs, providing a well-rounded experience that promotes personal growth and skill development.
We believe in creating a dynamic and inclusive environment where every student feels encouraged to explore their passions and connect with peers. Join us in making the most of these enriching opportunities and enhancing your Prem experience.

Exploria Overview
Our Prem ‘Exploria’ Co-Curricular programme is the cornerstone of our holistic education vision within the Prem Community. Exploria offers students a diverse range of extracurricular activities and enrichment opportunities.
Designed to complement our academic programs, Exploria provides students with the chance to explore new interests, develop skills, and engage in creative, service, academic and physical pursuits. From sports and arts to science clubs and leadership training, there is something for every student to discover and enjoy. Exploria encourages personal growth, teamwork, and a balanced school experience beyond the classroom.
Through Exploria, students can build meaningful connections, pursue their passions, and enhance their overall learning journey.
Service
At Prem, we deeply value the impact of service learning and student leadership on our school community. Our Exploria programme, along with the MYP ‘Service in Action’ and IB CAS programmes, offers students numerous opportunities to lead and participate in meaningful service projects.
These initiatives include Model United Nations (MUN), Advocates for Global Welfare, Kozé Local Café, Precious Plastics, Student Council, Threads of Change and many more.
Through these experiences, students can develop their leadership skills and make a positive difference in both local and global contexts.
Students have worked with the science department to look at the feasibility of using solar cell technology on campus in the future, installing motion sensitive light switches in common areas and encouraging more sustainable use of air conditioners in classrooms and offices.
Creativity
At Prem, we value the power of creativity and artistic expression within our community. Our Exploria programme offers numerous opportunities for students to engage in creative projects, including annual music and drama productions for both Junior and Senior School students.
The Prem Symphonic Band, led by our dedicated music practitioners, performs at various events throughout the year. Additionally, the Exploria programme features the Prem Jazz Ensemble, rock band, drumming circle, and Creative Ukuleles. These experiences help students develop their creative skills, collaborate with peers, and make a meaningful impact.
Dedicated Academies
Our dedicated Golf and Tennis Centres, alongside the ‘Prem Rising Stars’ football academy and the Prem Swim Academy, provide year-round Exploria activities designed to elevate our students’ skills in these sports.
With programs tailored to various skill levels, students can start by learning the basics and progressively gain experience to reach new heights in their athletic pursuits. Our experienced and passionate coaches are committed to helping each student improve their abilities, whether they are just starting or aiming to advance to higher levels of competition.
These centres and academies offer a supportive environment for students to develop their potential and achieve their sports goals.
Fantastic Campus
The Exploria programme at Prem makes full use of our exceptional campus facilities, including the Prem Farm, cooking school, and climbing wall. Students can engage in hands-on learning experiences at the farm, explore culinary skills in our well-equipped cooking school, and challenge themselves on the climbing wall.
These unique resources, among others, enhance the programme, providing diverse opportunities for students to develop practical skills and enjoy outdoor adventures.
Everyone can Join! It’s Easy!
Exploria activities are available every day after school and during lunchtimes for both Junior and Senior School students. Junior School activities begin at 3:30 pm and last for one hour, while Senior School activities run from 3:45 to 5:15 pm.
At Prem, we utilize the extra-curricular management software ‘Engage,’ which allows parents, guardians, and students to easily view available activities, sign up, and track attendance. Junior School parents or guardians handle the sign-ups for their children, whereas Senior School students sign up for themselves.
