5 Reasons to Join a Group, Club or Sporting Team
With over 50 extra-curricular options offered throughout the year, students can participate in a range of activities outside of regular timetabled classes. Whether you’re interested in sport, performing arts, academic extension or Christian service, there are a wealth of options to choose from which allow for intensive participation and skill-building.
Extracurricular activities provide you with something fun to do aside from school, giving you the opportunity to explore your interests and passions beyond academics. Weekly activities can offer a welcome break from studies and homework — particularly for senior students if you have time to spare.
Here are 5 reasons why you should sign up:
1. Have fun
There’s no better feeling than doing something you love. It’s important to make the most of your schooling journey, so why not take the opportunity to make the most of it? If you have a particular passion or talent, it’s a great idea to sign up for a group, club or sporting team you know you’ll enjoy. Your time, your choice.
2. Meet like-minded students
Sure, you may already be familiar with the students in your homeroom and classes. Participating in an extra-curricular gives you an opportunity to make new friends who you may not have had the opportunity to build friendships with yet. The best thing is - these friendships share a common interest! No need to be shy!
3. Try something new
Maybe you’re curious about trying a different sport. Perhaps you’d like to challenge yourself by learning a new skill. The great thing about many clubs is that you can ‘have a go’ and see if it’s right for you. You may just discover a new passion to pursue in the future!
4. Take it to the next level
Are you already excelling in Phys Ed, Music, Drama, Dance, Visual Art or core subjects? Level up by competing in inter-school competitions or learning advanced curriculum. Your brain and body will thank you.
5. Get the most out of your education
Your education is more than going to class, taking tests and seeing your friends – each student is on a journey. Participating helps you to get to know yourself and the path you want to take.
