Active Bodies, Competitive Spirit
Every student participates in at least two physical education sessions per week. PE is planned and purposeful — not a break from learning, but a different kind of learning.
Inter-class and inter-house competitions are organised every term, and we participate in Kitwe zone sports events and inter-school competitions where available.
No student is excluded from physical activity without a medical note. Sport is not optional — it is part of a complete education.
- Minimum two PE sessions per week for every student
- Inter-class competitions each term
- Participation in Kitwe zone sports days
- Dedicated sporting equipment, checked before every session
- No child excluded from sport without medical grounds
The Annual Concert Is a Big Deal
Our annual school concert and prize-giving is one of the most important events on the Shalva Academy calendar — and one of the highlights of the year for families. It is not switched on six weeks before the date and forgotten the rest of the time.
Music, drama, and performance are embedded in school life throughout the year. Student writing, artwork, and creative output is displayed visibly around the school and celebrated in assemblies — because the child who shines on stage matters just as much as the child who tops the class.
Key Events Each Year
These anchor events are fixed at the start of each academic year and communicated to families in advance. They are not optional — they are part of what makes Shalva Academy a community.
