Activities

Our co-curriculum activities program covers various academic subjects in Arts and Sciences; and takes care of students at O and A Levels. These activities include sports, musical activities, debate, community service, religious study groups, charitable fundraising, projects, drama, clubs, and hobbies such as cookery and dance. Because these are not examined in the same way that the academic curriculum is and most of them take place outside lessons, such activities are voluntary.

By contrast, extra-curricular activities are less well organized and funded, being entirely voluntary for students and taking place outside the school timetable. School staff may be involved in running extra-curricular activities, but there is no obligation on them to do so and they do not normally receive extra pay for it. Clubs and societies in Gayaza High School fit this definition, as do non-academic activities in most schools and colleges throughout the world.

We think co-curricular activities prepare students practically for the future; as the normal curriculum only teaches and educates students about academic theories. We believe students whose only experience of school is one of rigid academic study may not be able to apply what they have learned in practice as such as encourage them to take part in sporting activities for instance, badminton, basketball, cricket, cross country, football, hockey, netball, swimming, tennis, volleyball to list but a few.
