CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
At Gitanjali School, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Our co-curricular programme helps students develop leadership, confidence, creativity, communication skills, teamwork, and physical fitness.
House System
The entire school is divided into four houses:
- Emerald House
- Ruby House
- Garnet House
- Sapphire House
Every year in the month of July, student elections are conducted to elect the Head Boy, Head Girl, House Captains, Vice-Captains, and Sports In-charge. The House System encourages healthy competition, leadership, discipline, and team spirit. Throughout the year, each house participates in various academic, cultural, literary, and sports competitions.

The Cultural Team and Student Leaders actively organise and lead school events, celebrations, competitions, and co-curricular programmes under the guidance of teachers.
