EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
THE IMPORTANCE OF HOLLISTIC DEVELOPMENT & THE ENHANCED CURRICULUM
To be outside of the box of the traditional academic curriculum, we need to think outside of the box for opportunities to widen our educational provision. This will ensure our students do not only fit into a box in terms of traditional employment opportunities. There are endless opportunities for students to learn new skills; grow a passion and develop character through
extracurricular activities. These are a vital to the holistic development of every student. Even as adults, extra-curricular activities are important to maintain a balanced lifestyle with a healthy mind and body.
In general, these can be categories under four areas:
PHYSICAL RECREATION
SKILL DEVELOPMENT
SERVICE & CITIZENSHIP
ADVENTURES & CHALLENGE
All of these have many benefits which include
- A way of networking and making new friends
- Giving something back and helping others
- Promotes academic performance and work productivity
- Develops personal and social skills
- Maintaining a positive lifestyle with a healthy mind and body
- Impressing universities, colleges and employers
