EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES 2012-2013 HALF TERM 1

Get Involved In Extra Curricular Activities In Your School !

Dear Students of Stretford High School

There are a wealth of extra -curricular activities on offer to you from a wide range of subject areas and outside providers. There are displays all around school, inviting you to come along and join in.

Taking part in activities outside the classroom is important for many different reasons. You need time to relax during the day, time to have fun and mix with different people. As you go further up the school, universities and employers will be looking for people who do something extra and have a breadth of experience both inside and outside the classroom.
You get to explore your physical, creative, social, and career interests with like-minded people. Also boost your GCSE grades. Trying something different may bring you in contact with people you didn't know who share your interests and curiosity.

This booklet gives you a view of the opportunities on offer to you from September to October 2012. All activities require regular commitment from you. Please take a good look through this booklet and select activities you would like to try.
REWARDS FOR YOUR COMMITMENT Certificates for active participation. This includes your attendance and positive contribution during after school activities End of term trips out to celebrate your active role and responsibility

Taking part in extra-curricular activities can:

give your child a chance to try a range of activities and explore where their strengths lie boost your childs self-esteem and confidence give your child a sense of achievement reduce problem behaviour promote good mental health help your child to become a better learner help your child to learn to take responsibility develop your childs skills in planning and taking the initiative help your child learn how to regulate their emotions help your child learn to overcome tough times, which in turn can help your child to succeed academically.

Encouraging your child to take part Not all students are interested in extracurricular activities. Thats fine. But sometimes they would like to try something new and just need a bit of help to get started. If this sounds like your child, you can encourage him to take part in extracurricular activities by providing opportunities and practical help. If you feel your child hasnt considered all the activities available, please arrange a meeting to speak to your childs Learning Tutor for support, if required.
