At First Steps Primary School, we know that great education doesn’t stop when the bell rings. Our extracurricular programme is designed to develop the whole child — nurturing talent, building teamwork, and helping every learner discover what they are truly passionate about.
Sport teaches children lessons that no textbook can: resilience, discipline, teamwork, and the joy of giving your best effort. Our sports programme caters to a wide range of interests and abilities.
From sprinting to field events, our athletics programme builds physical fitness, personal goal-setting, and competitive spirit. Students develop endurance and discipline while representing their school with pride.
Swimming is both a life skill and a sport. Our swimming programme develops technique, water confidence, and fitness — giving every child a skill they will carry for life.
One of Zimbabwe’s most beloved sports, soccer at First Steps teaches strategy, coordination, and teamwork. Our learners enjoy regular practice sessions and competitive matches.
Netball develops agility, coordination, and communication. It is a fantastic sport for building team spirit and physical literacy, and our learners compete with enthusiasm and dedication.
Beyond sport, we offer a selection of enrichment clubs that develop critical thinking, creativity, and leadership.
Chess is proven to develop concentration, forward thinking, and problem-solving skills. Our chess club welcomes learners of all levels — from beginners discovering the pieces to competitive players ready for tournaments.
Every great leader is a great communicator. Our debate club helps learners research topics, construct arguments, and speak with confidence in front of an audience. It builds critical thinking, vocabulary, and the courage to share ideas.
The journalism club gives learners a voice. Members learn to research, write, and report on school and community events — developing writing skills, media awareness, and a sense of civic responsibility.
The marimba is one of Zimbabwe’s most treasured cultural instruments, and at First Steps we celebrate it proudly. Our Marimba Club introduces learners to traditional rhythms and melodies, building musical skill, cultural pride, and a deep connection to their Zimbabwean heritage. It is joyful, communal, and entirely unique to the First Steps experience.
Our Gymnastics Club develops balance, coordination, flexibility, and body confidence in a fun and structured environment. Learners progress at their own pace, building physical strength and spatial awareness while learning to set goals and celebrate their own achievements.
Dance is expression, discipline, and storytelling all in one. Our Dance Club allows learners to explore movement across a range of styles — from traditional Zimbabwean dance to contemporary and creative movement. It builds confidence, physical fitness, and a powerful sense of self-expression.
Our Drum Majorettes Club is one of the most exciting and visually spectacular activities at First Steps. Learners develop precision marching, baton twirling, choreography, and performance skills — all set to the beat of uplifting music. Drum majorettes build discipline, coordination, teamwork, and stage confidence in equal measure.
Our educational tours bring the curriculum to life. Whether visiting historical sites, nature reserves, or community institutions, these experiences connect classroom knowledge to the real world and leave lasting impressions on our learners.
Research consistently shows that students who participate in extracurricular activities perform better academically, develop stronger social skills, and are more confident. At First Steps, we actively encourage every learner to find their passion and pursue it.
