forums/societies
The Extra-Curricular Committee (ECC) is the primary body responsible for all extra-curricular activities within our college. This includes organizing many events, workshops, seminars and life skill programmes, participating in intra-college and inter-college festivals, and recording and monitoring the ECC hours and points of students.
For the year 2023-24, the Committee is divided into the following forums, namely, Indian Performing Arts, Western Performing Arts, Fine Arts, Literary Arts, Learning for Life, Theatre Society - Fitoor and the Debating Society. These forums are actively supported by functional departments namely Administration , Public Relations , Venue Management , Technicals, Filming and documentation for the smooth running of various forums.
I.P.A.
Indian Performing Arts
The Indian Performing Arts forum consists of IPA (Music) and IPA (Dance). The forum's primary aim is to allow students to have a platform to express themselves before stepping out onto the big stage. The dance forum is a nexus to celebrate all the Indian classical and folk dances to enhance the community life of college. We bring together various dancers to curate the rich Indian heritage of dance. Indian Performing Arts (Music) is a platform to introduce students from college to the multiple facets of the diverse music in India. The forum encourages students to shed their stage fright and develop a confident persona on stage.
W.P.A.
Western Performing Arts
The Western Performing Arts forum consists of WPA (Music) and WPA (Dance). WPA Dance features a variety of International dance styles ranging across a broad spectrum of Hip Hop, Contemporary, Salsa, Street styles, etc. among others. WPA Music offers a platform where one can showcase their raw talents by unlocking their true potential through the realm of music.
F.A.
Fine Arts
The Fine Arts forum aims at organizing several workshops this year, which venture away from conventional sketching, drawing and painting towards diverse, interesting and less-explored arts like Bottle Art and Stippling Art.
L.A.
Literary Arts
The Literary Arts forum strives to engage those who find meaning in the written and spoken word, theatre, poetry and drama in a variety of workshops and activities to create and hone the interest of the student body in writing and literary arts.
L.F.l.
Learning For Life
The Learning for Life forum seeks to enlarge the scope of learning to other areas of accomplishment and promote holistic development beyond the curriculum. It organizes courses and workshops dealing with subjects such as Personality Development, Public Speaking, Meditation, Photography, Personal Finance, among others.
The Xavier's Debating Society
The Xavier’s Debating Society channelizes and entrenches the avenue to effective deliberation and discourse. In status quo, our thoughts and opinions do not have a substantial tangible impact on society unless we vehemently express them. This Society helps individuals to collectivize and structure their arguments in a coherent manner in order to create maximum impact.
Fitoor
Theatre
The Theatre Society, which includes both the English Theatre Society and the Hindi Theatre Society, develops and promotes a culture of theatre in St. Xavier's. It's aim is to create a nurturing environment for creativity and confidence without any barriers. We endeavor to do this through regular meetings, workshops and performances. The goal of the Theatre Society is to reignite the spirit of theatre and performing arts among students of the college - to keep bringing opportunities to the students for them to engage more and more with different forms of theatre and to explore themselves in the realm of acting, writing, direction, stage management, production.
Administration & Public Relations
All the forums of the ECC are supported by the departments of Administration and Public Relations. The functions of these departments include designing creatives, writing releases, documenting events, workshops and managing events and responses. Networking with the forums to ensure successful events is our core value as we indulge in effective functioning of the committee by means of strong communication.
