ART CLUB
Visual language is one of the important ancient languages and plays an important role in a student’s development. In WBS, art is an important subject and the Art Department is equipped with ultra-modern facilities, including studio spaces, labs, and dedicated areas for painting, printing, tie and dye, and many more art forms. Students take keen interest in this subject and some of them even pursue it as a career. Students who opted for art as a subject have consistently performed very well in the IGSCE and A-level examinations.

Literary club
At the beginning of the session, members of the club will be asked to submit a ‘Wish List’ naming the books they desired to read during the session. The teachers also will suggest names of books and authors that the students could consider reading. After the reading of a book each member will be asked to present an oral review of the same. They will also speak about their favourite characters, important events and incidents in the book. Apart from this, they will have to speak out about whether they will recommend the reading of the book or not and why. The club will also hold a group discussion about the books that had been read. In this manner, each child not only read several different books, but also learnt to appreciate different genres of writing.
Dramatics club
Drama is a collaborative form of fine art that sees live performers presenting the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through a combination of gestures, speech, song, music, and dance. Elements of art, such as painted scenery and stagecraft such as lighting are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience. Keeping these traditions of drama in mind, the students of the Dramatics Club at Whiteplains British School meet once in a week to hone their thespian skills.

Cookery club
Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the world from grilling food over an open fire to using electricity and baking in various types of ovens, reflecting unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions and trends. The ways or types of cooking also depend on the skill and type of training an individual chef possesses.
Cooking food follows a pattern which commences with the purchasing and selection of materials, their handling, processing and the ultimate presentation of dishes. There are many methods of cooking, most of which have been known since time immemorial. These include baking, roasting, frying, grilling, barbecuing, smoking, boiling, steaming and braising. A more recent innovation is microwaving.
At WBS, it is our endeavor to make students learn all life skills and hence, we have a Cookery Club as part of our extra-curricular activities. The WBS Cookery Club is in session once a week and the members — our little chefs —are baptized into the world of cooking as we teach them the basic culinary etiquettes. They are familiarized with various culinary tools and appliances as also the distinct styles of cooking.
MUN club
Model United Nations, also known as MUN, is an extra-curricular activity in which students typically role play delegates of the United Nations and simulate UN committees. This activity takes place at MUN conferences, which is usually organized by the MUN club. These activities build the participants’ self-confidence to open up and speak without hesitation. Students participate at inter-school conferences and get an opportunity to meet other students participating in the conference coming from around the country and world.
The MUN club in WBS sees the new ‘munners’ being introduced to the procedures of MUN by the experienced ‘munners’. To start with, there will be few mock sessions to show them what the feel of MUN is. The students will then research various agendas and have many mocks sessions throughout the term/year. The school, will have an inter-house MUN which will witness some budding munners debating hard. It will be an opportunity for the students to showcase their skills, and get ready for numerous inter school MUN awaiting throughout the year.
The MUN club in WBS strives to raise awareness of the role the United Nations plays in world affairs by involving youth in all aspects of the planning process thereby inspiring the next generation of leaders to become more involved in global problems and try to provide some solutions at their level.
