In addition, the students enjoy special performances of acting, Indian classical dancing, music, conjuring etc. either in their own school hall or at other local institutions.
The School Magazine, The Auktimus (which began in 1969) became a major organ of students' expression. For some time it was brought out every month but then became an annual number. In 1984 The Auktimus began to sponsor the "Auktimus Merit Scholarship", an idea conceived by the then editor of Auktimus. Scholarships generated out of the funds raised by the Auktimus, were given to girls on the basis of their performance in competitive tests. As an institution of the Church of North India, AucklandHouseSchool also increased the number of freeships and concessions to deserving pupils.
The pioneering spirit of Auckland House School in providing wholesome education for girls has continued down the years.
Auckland House School has been among the first girls schools to provide activities like hiking and trekking, educational trips, karate, Computer Studies etc., for its girls. The students are encouraged to take whatever part they can in social service and self-help. They help and contribute to national causes and charities.
