Extra Curricular activities are activities that are not part of the academic curriculum and take place outside the school hours. They are usually voluntary and often involve personal interests, hobbies, or skills. They can also help students develop social and emotional learning, as well as academic and career skills3. Some examples of extra curricular activities are:

  • Music and dance
  • Chess and robotics
  • Photography and journalism
  • Cooking and baking
  • Yoga and meditation

Extra curricular activities can have many benefits for students, such as:

  • Boosting their self-esteem and confidence
  • Enhancing their creativity and problem-solving skills
  • Expanding their social network and friendships
  • Improving their physical and mental health
  • Discovering their passions and talents

Extra curricular activities can also help students stand out in college applications, scholarships, and job interviews, as they showcase their personality, achievements, and leadership potential2. However, extra curricular activities should not interfere with the students’ academic performance, homework, or sleep. Students should balance their time and energy between school work and extra curricular activities, and choose the ones that suit their interests, goals, and abilities.

I hope this helps you learn more about extra curricular activities in school. 😊
