The HTG History Club was started in September 2008. Meetings are held once a week and they usually consist of presentations, visits to different establishments, city tours, movie nights and other exciting activities. It is organised by the school's history teachers but the peresentations themselves are held by current or former students or other experts in the field. Every year a student is chosen to assist the teachers with organistational matters. The club is aimed first and foremost at those with a keen interest in history.
Club meetings are held on Tuesdays at 16.00 - 17.30 in classroom 141.

School Newspaper "Miilang"
Treffoonia students also have their own mouthpiece - the school newspaper Miilang which has been circulating on and off since 1925. The editorial board writes about the students' accomplishments as well as their hardships and publishes personal pieces about teachers and students alike. In addition to writing stories, the newspaper gives students the opportunity to publish photos and learn how to design newspaper layouts.
The main aim of the paper is to reflect the colorful school life in HTG as well as the goings-on in Tartu through the eyes of students. A number of former writers and reporters for the Miilang have become professional journalists.
The editorial meetings are held on Fridays at 14.30 - 15.30 in the library (room 110).

The cellar can be used at any time during the school day but practice sessions are held on Mondays at 16.00 – 21.00.
The pentaque club also has its own facebook group.
Green Club
Not all students leave school after class. Instead, some of them choose to stay and discuss green topics, drink tea and play board games. This peculiar group of green-minded people is called "The Greens".
They organise the annual eco-weeks for the school as well as camping trips to the beautiful Estonian wilderness.
Mixed Choir "Anima"
Just like every respectable high school, HTG has its own choir. The mixed choir called "Anima" has garnered national acclaim and won several awards. The Choir is currently conducted by HTG's music teacher Eve Paap.
The everyday life of the choir is busy as singers have to practise three times a week and even more frequently when preparing for upcoming concerts. The choir often performs at school events and ceremonies, the most important of which is perhaps the annual spring concert. The choir has also performed at several citywide events.
Twice a year - in autumn and in spring, song camps are held to welcome new members to the choir. Anima also has its own logo, designed by former student K. Vahtramäe.
Choir rehersals for girls are held on Mondays at 16.00 - 17.30 in room 220 and for boys on Tuesdays at 16.00 - 17.00 in room 221. Mixed rehersals are held on Wednesdays at 16.00 - 18.00 in room 220.

Sport has always been popular with the students of HTG. The most popular events are basketball and athletics. After the construction of the new gym was completed in 2001, students have once again had the opportunity to play ball games at their own school. The sports club is instructed by PE teachers Aimar Poom and Anneli Saarva. At the moment students can play basketball, volleyball and indoor hockey.

Debate Club
The renowned HTG Debate Club was started many years ago and has since garnered national recognition, snatching the first place in the Estonian championships numerous times.
The goal of the club is to teach students to express their thoughts in an argumen-tative and unbiased way in order to develop a rational and more open-minded society.
The Debate Club is not just an academic community, but also one of lasting friendships. The meticulous preparation of cases, the early victories and inevitable defeats, the excitement of participating in tournaments - they all provide the perfect basis for creating long-term affection. In addition to practicing for competitions, we also organise academic nights and play various games aimed to boost students' cognitive abilites.
Club meetings are held on Thursdays at 16.00 - 18.00 in classroom 144. E
