EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES TERM ONE 2013-2014

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 during half term one. 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

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.
