Extra Curricular

Extra curricular activities are activities that fall outside the scope of your timetabled curriculum.

Getting involved in activities outside of school can help you meet new people with whom you share interests and improve your social skills as a result. Extra curricular activities also help you to expand your network, which is beneficial for finding career opportunities later in life.

Extra curricular clubs often require a regular time commitment such as being on a sports team, forming a student newspaper, playing the guitar in the school rock band or taking an online course on robotics.
