Sports & Physical Development
Sport at NAAVU isn’t a separate period.
It’s one of the few places where children experience effort, failure, teamwork, and recovery in real time and we treat that as essential learning.
Sport is an integral part of student life at NAAVU.
Our programme encourages students to develop physical fitness, teamwork, discipline, and resilience through regular participation in sport and movement-based activities.
Students engage in a wide range of sports including basketball, football, cricket, badminton, skating, pickleball, martial arts, yoga, athletics, chess, and carrom.
The programme also includes a House Sports system, inter-school competitions, and opportunities for students to take on leadership roles through sports committees and events.
These experiences help students build confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity.
The Classrooms
Our classrooms are designed to support different ways of learning.
Flexible seating, natural light, and open layouts allow students to move between discussions, group work, individual reflection, and project-based learning. Teachers can easily adapt the environment depending on the learning activity — whether it is a collaborative inquiry, a design challenge, or a quiet moment of reading and reflection.
Technology and physical learning materials are integrated thoughtfully so that students can explore ideas using both digital tools and hands-on experiences.
These classrooms encourage students to participate actively, share perspectives, and build understanding together.
Apple Enabled Learning
At NAAVU, technology is used to support learning, not replace it.
Students use iPads, Macs, and Apple platforms to research, collaborate, and present their ideas through formats like videos, presentations, and digital projects. This allows for more interactive and personalised learning.
Aligned with the IB approach, technology helps students explore questions, build understanding, and develop skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
Teachers use these tools to plan lessons, personalise instruction, and give timely feedback, supported by ongoing training.
NAAVU is working towards becoming an Apple Distinguished School, reflecting its commitment to purposeful and effective use of technology.
The Library
At NAAVU, the library is more than a collection of books — it is a space for discovery, reflection, and exploration.
Students use the library to read widely, research deeply, and develop the ability to question and analyse information. A thoughtfully curated collection of print and digital resources supports learning across subjects while encouraging independent curiosity.
The space is designed to balance quiet reading with collaborative inquiry. Students might be found exploring new stories, researching ideas for projects, discussing books with peers, or simply spending time discovering something that sparks their interest.
The library plays an important role in helping students develop information literacy, critical thinking, and a lifelong relationship with reading and learning.

Sports Lead
Joseph Collen
Physical & Health Education
A lot of my day is spent on the field with students — running, playing, competing, and discovering what they’re capable of.
For me, sport is not only about winning games. It’s about teamwork, discipline, resilience, and the confidence that comes from trying again after a challenge. I enjoy creating opportunities for students to experience this, whether it’s through regular sports sessions, inter-school competitions, or large events like the Junior Olympics we organised for over 250 students.
What matters most to me is that every student feels welcome in sport. Some may become competitive athletes, while others simply learn to enjoy staying active. Both are equally important.
