A large number of societies operate in the school, both academic and non-academic. These form an integral part of the school’s enrichment programs allowing pupils to pursue particular interests and to broaden their understanding through listening and participation.

Societies are often addressed by visiting speakers and, at the same time, encourage pupil presentations, seminars, discussion and performance.

• Contemporary Book Club
• Debating
• Writing
• Economics & Business
• Film Appreciation Club
• Literary
• English Language club
• Music
• Poetry
• Politics
• Drama

A debate-style challenging of ideas and development of arguments is common to most of the Societies; however, there is also a specific debating society, teams and programs. As well as internal opportunities such as House Debating, NDPS pupils can get involved in external inter-school competitions both nationally and internationally.
