Importance of Co-Curricular activities

Co-curricular activities are those activities that are undertaken along with academic studies. Typically, co-curricular activities are carried out outside the normal classrooms, but they supplement the academic curriculum and help in learning by doing. These activities help students to develop problem-solving, reasoning, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, and collaborative abilities. Co-curricular activities in school might be compulsory such as music, art, or drama classes that take place during the day. Others could be voluntary, such as participating in a school sports team, school debating teams, or student newsletters editorial team. In either case, participation helps students in emotional development, social skill development, and overall personality development. Therefore, the importance of co-curricular activities is immense. These are helpful to develop various skills of the students which may help them in real life. Our school has various kinds of co-curricular activities. These include drama, dancing, music, debate and sports. We have diff Some students participate as actors and the others work in the back stage. Rent clubs for each of these activities. The drama club of our school is very rich. We stage at least one drama in three months. We have a lot of fun while taking part in this co-curricular activity. We have some very talented members in our debating club. They not only take part in school debates but also in inter-school debates at national level. They have achieved some prestigious awards in this field too. Life oriented activities like Scouts and journalism are especially encouraged in our school. Many of our ex-students have utilized the skills they have learned here and became successful in their career. Our school is one of the best schools participating in various sports. All the students participate in at least one kind of sport. Handball and volleyball are the most favourite sports in our school. We also have a very good cricket team. There is no doubt that co-curricular activities are very important in students’ life. This is why our school encourages us to take part in co-curricular activities besides our regular studies.
