Extracurricular and sports activities play a vital role in the
overall development of students during their school days. These
activities provide students with opportunities to explore their
interests and passions, develop new skills, and build relationships
with their peers.
Participation in extracurricular activities can help students
develop a sense of belonging and connectedness to their school and
community. These activities can also help students learn valuable
life skills, such as time management, teamwork, and leadership. For
example, being
Part of a sports team can teach students the importance of working
together towards a common goal, while being part of a debate team
can help students learn how to think critically and communicate
effectively.
Additionally, extracurricular and sports activities can also have a
positive impact on a student’s academic performance. Studies have
shown that students who participate in extracurricular activities
have higher grade point averages, better attendance records, and are
more likely to graduate from high school. This is likely because
extracurricular activities provide students with a sense of purpose
and motivation, and can help them develop good study habits and time
management skills.
In short, extracurricular and sports activities are an important
part of the school experience, providing students with opportunities
to develop their interests, passions, and skills, as well as build
relationships with their peers. They provide an environment to the
students to blossom, to perform and to showcase their talents and
skillsets.
It’s important for students to find activities that they are
passionate about and that align with their interests, and it’s also
important for schools to provide a wide variety of extracurricular
activities to meet the diverse interests and needs of their student
body.
At MIS International school, we actively encourage
our students to participate in extracurricular and sports activities
for their overall personality development. We believe that the
importance of sports and games in school encompasses more than just
the benefit of physical activity. It increases self-esteem and
mental attentiveness. It leads to psychological and physical
progress.
