We understand that learning goes beyond textbooks. That’s why we offer a range of co-curricular activities designed to break the monotony of classroom learning and nurture well-rounded individuals. From football and volleyball to debate, mandala art, music, dance, scouting, and poetry, our learners are given the stage to showcase their talents under the guidance of our dedicated teachers. Discipline is a cornerstone of success, and we offer regular guidance and counseling sessions to keep our students on the right path.
Holistic Development: More Than Just Academics
At Mekaela Ratinga School, we believe in nurturing the whole child—intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Our pastoral programs, held every Friday, cater to the religious needs of our learners, while our Wednesday guidance and counseling sessions help maintain discipline and support the overall well-being of our students.
Leadership at Mekaela Ratinga School
Effective leadership is the backbone of any successful institution, and Ratinga School is no exception. Our leadership structure is designed for efficiency, with the management at the helm, followed by the headteacher who oversees the daily operations. The deputy headteacher, responsible for discipline, academics, and student leadership, works closely with two heads of department who oversee the pre-primary and lower primary sections, respectively. These leaders, along with our student leadership body led by the school president, ensure that our school runs like a well-oiled machine. We take pride in training and preparing our students for future leadership roles.
