Apartheid in South Africa: students will learn about the era of Apartheid through engaging lenses such as Trevor Noah's book 'Born a Crime' and Sixto Rodriguez's "Searching for Sugarman"
Music focuses on learning how to play music collaboratively in a group setting. Students will develop foundational ensemble skills including listening, timing, rhythm, balance, and blend while working with peers on shared musical goals. Through rehearsals and performances, students will practice following a conductor or group leader, responding to musical cues, and contributing responsibly to a collective sound. The course emphasizes cooperation, musical awareness, and confidence.
Tennis will provide students with a well-rounded foundation in the physical, technical, tactical, strategic, mental, and social aspects of the game. Students will begin by developing basic rally skills using low-compression orange tennis balls and cooperative activities designed to build control, consistency, and confidence. As the course progresses, students will learn and practice forehand and backhand groundstrokes, serving, net play, transition shots, approach shots, and overheads. Lessons will also introduce the physics behind topspin and slice, as well as the concept of the body working as a kinetic chain during the serve. In addition to stroke development, students will learn scoring, singles and doubles positioning, match warm-ups, pre-match preparation, and tiebreakers, while gaining experience through short singles and doubles matches. Because tennis is as much a mental game as a physical one, students will also explore confidence, self-awareness, and how an accurate, nonjudgemental understanding of their skills can support growth both on and off the court.
