Co-curricular Programs
An IMC student devotes his or her free time and talent toward clubs or organizations, competitions in and out-of-school, and seminars or trainings that further the development and exposure of his or her interests and skills in leadership, academic, and even in sports. The Student Council (SC) is the umbrella organization and its officials are elected through secret balloting via an automated election with the use of Genyo instead of ballots. The SC and the other clubs, whose officials are also elected, such as Sandiwa, Young Entrepreneurs Club, English Club, spearhead activities and organize contests (individuals, groups, classes) like the annual Students’ Fair, Buwan ng Wika, Nutrition Month, English Festival, Sportsfest, and Junior-Senior Promenade.
