We learn many of our most profound and lasting life lessons outside of the classroom. Students at The Springfield Anglican College, a Christian school in South East Queensland, can experience at Primary and Secondary Campuses.
Co-curricular activities allow students to extend themselves outside of the classroom through a wide range of enriching activities, clubs, programs and teams.
Co-curricular activities help to develop students’ social skills, friendships and extend themselves in areas you would not be exposed to in the classroom. In this article, The Springfield Anglican College discusses how students in private secondary colleges in Queensland can balance academics and co-curricular activities to have a holistic educational experience.
Explore Your Passions
Co-curricular or extracurricular activities are a great way to discover what you are passionate about outside of the classroom. Try different sports, join a music ensemble, or step out of your comfort zone and get involved in the Drama Troupe or the Da Vinci Decathlon! You will only find out whether or not you enjoy something once you have given it a go. These activities create a space of creativity and self-expression, and they can also be beneficial for future university and job applications.
Become more organised
Co-curricular activities can help students to become more organised and responsible. They encourage young people to lead groups, organise uniforms and equipment, and keep on top of rehearsals or training. All of these skills are vital to success in the classroom and are important life skills.
Make the Most of Available Support Systems
If you are finding it hard to work out what to prioritise, there is plenty of help that you can seek out. At Christian secondary schools such as Springfield Anglican College, there are mentors, counsellors, teachers, school psychologists and career guides who are all available to help you. These experts can assist you as you work out a combination of school academics and co-curricular activities that suit you best.
