The Intramurals are heavy days of competition on sports, cheering, and other interests. All the activities culminate on Family Day, which is traditionally celebrated in December. For the intramural competitions, the student body has been organized across levels into four different teams, distinguished by their colors: Red, Blue, Green and Gold and led by their respective Team Captains and Co-captains.
The Eucharistic Procession is an annual school tradition devoted to the adoration of the Blessed Eucharist. Students, parents, alumnae and school staff decorate the pathways with floral carpets for the procession of the Blessed Sacrament. The Eucharistic Procession is a Church tradition that began in the 13th c. to celebrate the love for the Eucharistic Jesus, truly present in the sacred Host.
The Woodrose Outreach Program is a concrete way of practicing one of the core values of Woodrose: Concern for Others. Social and moral awareness, sensitivity to the needs of others, and service to society are integrated in the Woodrose curriculum to inculcate Christian ideals in the students.
The Outreach Program is offered to Grades 1 to Year IV students. The activities of each level are developmentally appropriate thereby affording the opportunity for in-depth processing/study, repeated practice, and habit formation.
In the Primary School, the program aims to introduce the students to the possibility of interacting with the less fortunate and thus foster in them a certain degree of love for the poor at a young age, recognizing at the same time that others may experience situations differently from themselves. The same rationale is considered by the outreach component of the Primary School Clubs.
In the Intermediate School, the program aims to cultivate in the students greater sensitivity towards the needs of others, especially the marginalized. It also seeks to involve the students to gradually solve real life problems such as illiteracy through academic tutorials or Reading Literacy Program.
The Outreach Program in the High School is more incisive and intense, considering the developmental traits of the students in this level. The program aims to inculcate in the students civic responsibility by providing them opportunities to deal and interact with the different groups of people who have several needs e.g. shelter, care, education. The students are also encouraged to participate voluntarily in socio-civic organizations that can be found in their
own communities, thus enabling them to be real assets to society.
Finally, the Outreach Program also includes the annual medical-dental mission organized by Woodrose alumnae for a poor community in dire need of free medical consultations, dental services, and medicines. This activity aims to give the alumnae an opportunity to continue their efforts to reach out to the less fortunate.
