Holistic teaching programs that include co-curricular or extracurricular activities help shape students into well-rounded young people and ensure greater academic excellence.

Why Extracurriculars Are Important

Co-curricular and extracurricular activities add a variety of benefits to Prep to Year 12 students’ performance and well-being. These activities and programs, which take learning outside the boundaries of the classroom, have been known to enhance students’ attendance rates, academic results and social and emotional well-being.

Honing Life Skills and Lifelong Passions

Students at co-ed private schools such as St John’s College can cultivate a plethora of new skills through their participation in camps, music and performing arts, leadership or science programs, sports, public speaking and more. These activities help improve young people’s self-confidence as well as develop soft skills such as communication, leadership and time management.

Extracurricular activities also help students develop their talents and passions, get physical exercise and socialise and exchange ideas with their peers. Since students can explore a variety of activities at St John’s College, school becomes more fun, and this positively impacts their social and mental well-being as well as their academic performance.
