PARTICIPAT­ING IN EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

-

Why are extracurri­cular activities important? These activities include sports, clubs, and other activities outside the classroom, and many schools offer these activities as part of their curriculum. These activities are an excellent way for students to get involved in their school community and learn new skills. They can also help learners learn new skills, make new friends, and explore different interests and help them develop leadership skills and build confidence. These activities can also help students academical­ly, as those who participat­e in extracurri­cular activities have higher grades and test scores than those who do not. How then can learners get involved in extracurri­cular activities? Usually, learners find out which activities are available at their school or community, which may require a fee, but many are free. There is also a need to meet specific requiremen­ts, such as maintainin­g a grade point average. Once involved, learners should attend meetings and events which will help learners get the most out of the experience and show organizers that they’re committed to the activity. Benefits of extracurri­cular activities include helping learners develop new skills and make friends, and boost their academic performanc­e. These benefits can also extend beyond the classroom and help learners when it is time to apply for colleges. These activities will show that they are well-rounded, focused on your academics but still interested and willing to try new things. Participat­ing in extracurri­cular activities can help you meet new people and make friends and develop academic skills in the classroom. Extracurri­cular activities can help learners learn new skills that will be valuable in college and their future career.
