At the Cemara, Akasia and Cendana Residential College, students are offered a wide variety of outdoor programmes in the form of special interest camps like outings for leadership training and team- building.
There are trips ranging from three days to a week designed to suit the different needs of students and workshops that give students the opportunity to grow intellectually and socially.
INTEC nurtures well- rounded students who are adept intellectually, socially, physically, creatively and spiritually.
This development is accomplished by encouraging students to participate in art and music events.
Physically, students are encouraged to participate in sports such as silat cekak hanafi, teakwondo and sports tournaments.
Spiritually, Muslim students can attend spiritual camps where students learn how to pray, learn how to read the Quran, and listen to talks by the Ustaz. As INTEC strongly believes in cultivating the spiritual side of the students, Islamic and moral courses are mandatory courses for all students.
Students entering INTEC Education College have diverse opportunities for involvement in extracurricular activities. INTEC also gives students volunteer opportunities, such as assisting in soup kitchens and providing tutoring for orphans.
This will train students to manage their time and priorities and prepare them for real life thereafter.
Apart from focusing on the development of the students in terms of intellectual, social, physical, creative and spiritual, INTEC also gives students entrepreneurship experience where students are given the opportunity to participate in business projects.
The purpose of exposing students to entrepreneurship is so they can learn about customer service, conflict resolution skills, and take on increasing levels of responsibility.
This experience in entrepreneurship is important because universities and employers always look favourably on students who have work experience of some kind.
