Clubs At Appleby

“At Appleby, we believe in the power of our Clubs programme to ignite a sense of passion and exploration within our students. Clubs not only provide students with the opportunity to delve deeper into their interests, but they also foster the development of leadership skills and a strong sense of community involvement. We encourage all students to participate in our diverse Clubs programme, which offers an exceptional range of experiences and interests from which to choose."
