EXTRXCURRICULAR

ACTIVITIES

After-school clubs, sports and activities outside the classroom have been proven to help a student perform better academically and socially.

WORDS ANDRE FRO'S PHOTOS ISTOCK & UNSPLASH

 

Private and international schools make it a priority to offer a wide array of extracurricular activities accessible to all students, regardless of inclination and performance. Although there are parents who can be averse to their children spending too much time engaging in sports, performing arts, community work and art, education experts are stating that varying a learner's experience from a young age can improve their academic, social and emotional mindsets.

 

 

 

Physical and mental development

Sports help refine a young person's motor skills and cognitive functions, ensuring that these develop on track and maximally. Don't worry about bruises and bumps — children are designed to recover quickly frominjuries. This also teaches them resilience, to get up and try again, and the importance of teamwork in the case of sports or projects.

Furthermore, sports and out-of-classroom activities are powerful learning experiences where students can develop their passions, motivation and time management. These are perfect opportunities for young people to practice and hone a variety of skills in a casual environment as they go through the different levels of education and eventually the working world.

 

Emotional intelligence and soft skills

Observe an extracurricular club's meetings and activities and you'll notice the immense amount of interpersonal communicationand leadership play that take place. Modern-day educational research vouches for EQ and resilience in the face of failure, over IQ, and extracurricular activities are an excellent catalyst for improvements in these areas

As children debate, speak publicly and work together as a team, they develop empathy, which is the crux of succeeding in adult life. Besides broadening their perspectives, experiential learning opportunities also boost self—esteem. These eye-opening experiences endow young people with a sense of belonging, which is fortified by a web of close friendships among schoolmates who are sharing the same experiences

 

 

 

Self-discovery

We all excel with different styles of learning. It's undeniable that differentpeople do better in different academic subjects too, which is why students must be exposed to a variety of fields. Introducing your student or child to a broad spread of activities also enables them to discover where their interests and strengths lie a student struggling with academic subjects may become the world's next motor racing champion, or the maths whiz discovers a passion for drama.

 

The need for breaks

Exercise re-energises the mind before indoor classes and studying resumes. Students who exercise frequently have been found to enjoy good mental health, which wards off common conditions like depression and anxiety.

Cut students a break from mundanity and watch them uncover lessons that are not or cannot be taught in the classroom. Extracurricular activities also help limit TV, computer and smartphone screen time.

 

School trips and excursions

Nowadays, many schools organise trips locally, regionally andinternationally. These trips offer many advantages including exposure to different cultures, becoming independent, socialising with peers outside of school and learning new things, especially in themed (language, business, geography) trips.

Besides trips, outdoor activities and camping have been found to instil confidence and to encourage children to try new experiences. Activities like hiking, swimming, cycling, kayaking and just being close to nature is good for health, and allows children to be free, learn life skills and bond with their friendsoutside the confines of a classroom.

 

Well-rounded learners

Don't hold your children back from the multitude of soft skills that extracurricular activities can help them harness. Research has proven that traits like problem-solving, teamwork and public speaking are far more important in adult life than straight As and book smarts. A varied spread of accomplishments and experiences makes for an impressive university application and résumé, and eventually an accomplished adult.
