Adventure Club
Students with a sense of adventure and fun are encouraged to join Bay View High's Adventure Club.
The Adventure Club arranges three to four Karachi-based outings per academic year. In recent years, adventurers have been treated to an action-packed trip to the Go-Aisha Adventure Park, an evening crabbing trip, a Dolphin-watch boat ride into the deep sea, and participation in a rowing regatta.
Here is what some of our students had to say about their adventures:
"Some of us climbed on to the top of the boat to do a 'Titanic' pose, while others seemed more amused by the surrounding ghost-ships."
"Squeals of delight and awe escaped from us as we pointed out to each other as the dolphins surfaced to breath and spray water from their blowholes."
Environment and Science Club
Every year the Club organises a trips to see Mangroves and to see Turtle-hatcheries at Sand spit Beach. The Club also arranges for a visit to the School by the Green Fingers nursery.
The Club has also participated in or initiated a series of campaigns over the past few years, including:
- Clean Karachi Campaign
- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Campaign
- Scavenger Hunt
- Save Endangered Species Campaign
What our student say:
"It is said that small steps lead to a major change, thus this is our minor contribution for a cleaner environment."
"Due to the success of its events, the Environment and Science Club is one of the most popular clubs amongst the students of Bay View High School."
Book Club
The Book Club convenes regularly during both terms. The primary aim of the club is to encourage and widen participants' reading. Members choose a book (or short story) to read, and then discuss the work over one or two sessions. A faculty member provides guidance for discussion and debate.
Recently read books were Kazuo Ishiguro's Artist of the Floating World, George Orwell's Animal Farm, and Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.
Chess and Scrabble Club
The Club meets regularly every term, both during and after school, to play Chess and Scrabble in an informal atmosphere. All are welcome!
The Club also organises in-school knock-out competitions and runs a Chess Ladder throughout the academic year.
Culinary Club
The Culinary Club brings together students and faculty interested in cooking and food. It allows them to explore the culinary arts, not merely to build up the ability to put together a meal, but to enhance a greater appreciation of the culinary arts.
The club meets on Saturdays, and with access to the school's kitchens, produces exciting dishes, both new and traditional, both local and foreign.
Art Studio
The Art Studio meets regularly every month to paint, sketch and draw under the direction of the Arts teacher. Students' arts works are exhibited in the school.
Drama Club
The Bay View Drama Club aims to promote talent through the performing arts. These include plays and skits, poetry recitals, and dance. Students learn not only acting, elocution and dance, but also backstage skills, script-writing, production and direction.
The Club organises a large drama evening every two years, as well as events which are performed every year throughout the school year. Drama events are organised for Student Week, for Literacy Day, and Peace Day. The Club organises performances for inter-school competitions, and arranges trips to see other drama and music performances in Karachi.
All classes, X through to A2, are encouraged to participate.
Media Club
The Media Club brings together students interested in journalism and the visual arts. The Club organises regular Movie and TV-sports Nights, as well as an annual Photography Competition. It also forms an editorial teams for the School's two publications: The Chronicle newsletter and The Spirit Yearbook.
Bay View students take complete responsibility for the organisation and management of these events - including judging the Photography Competition.
Music Society
The Music Society promotes music and musical talent throughout the school. In recent years the Society has organised two charity concerts for the Everlasting Spirit - as well as a seminar series on sounds, "Sounds of Life". The first concert, held in 2006, featured some of Pakistan's leading music bands – Noori, Meekal Hassan, and Fuzon. The second concert, 'Rockistan', held in 2010, featured some of the best bands from Karachi's A-level schools. Its financial sponsors included the radio station FM89, and three Bay View High students even promoted the concert on the radio station. Both concerts were an astounding success, and the society is already planning a third for the coming years.
Our students say: "Music is the tool that brings us together. Embrace it and it will embrace you!"
Orator's Club
The Orator's Club promotes oratory skills through debating, model united nations, and public and parliamentary speaking.
It arranges Bay View High's own Model United Nations every year - the hotly contested BAYMUN, as well as arranging participation in leading oratory competitions across the country. These include: LUMUN, ROTMUN, TISMUN, and the Rota act Club's Annual Speak Up. The Club also arranges training and practice sessions for students selected as delegates and any other interested students.
The School encourages participation from across the grades, and has a consistent track record of sending class XIs as delegates to LUMUN.
The Orator's Club invites you to "join and become diplomatic!"
