Out-of-school activities are significant for students because they help them become social people and develop personal or academic skills. They also help teach students about new activities and can make them aware of their interests and skills. So, I have considered carefully, and I have chosen three activities that would be the best activities for students, which are a Sports Club, an Art Workshop, and an Outdoor Adventure program.
Sports Club:
Physical activity is essential for a healthy lifestyle. Because students sit for long hours at school, a sports club can motivate them to exercise regularly. The club can include sports such as football, basketball, swimming, volleyball, tennis, running, or fitness. They can choose what they want to do and start to learn or improve themselves in that sport. This will help them explore their interests and progress according to that. I interviewed most students and asked their opinions; they mentioned they would enjoy playing sports. Therefore, I think one of the best activities we can do is a sports club.
Art Workshop:
Art is a reflection way of expression; it must be taken seriously, and people must know about art to express themselves effectively and correctly. It can develop a person in various ways. If people learn and advance themselves in the age they’re learning their interests or earlier, such students, it will make a bigger difference for them. One of the students mentioned that art helps them relax and makes them feel confident. Also, they have said that they can reflect their emotions into art that they can’t express sometimes. So, for students’ creativity, doing something about art is a must.
Outdoor Adventure Program:
Activities like hiking, camping, and rock climbing not only teach students some skills but also make them solve problems logically. Many students said that they want to experience some outdoor activities and face some challenges because they believe that this will prepare them for their future responsibilities. These will allow them to learn some skills and develop a connection with nature.
Recommendation:
While I think all of these activities are crucial, it would be better if we give priority to the outdoor adventure program because it can provide students to take responsibility and will make their lives easier in the future with their experiences. Also, not all students are talented in art or sports, but these outdoor adventure activities include simple things that a person must know. The sports club and art workshop should be included to ensure creativity and physical development, too.
