Outside the standard framework of any educational curriculum, there are endless opportunities for students to learn new skills and ignite new passions. Extra Curricular activities are a vital element in any child’s development, often building on lessons and learnings that occur during school hours.
At Gorey Educate Together Secondary School we understand the importance of Extra Curricular activities. Extra Curricular activities provide an insight into what students are interested in and help to develop qualities like leadership, flexibility and initiative which are skills needed to be successful in every area of life. Extra Curricular activities also help to develop skills not assessed though the standard curriculum such as teamwork, resilience and the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
The Benefits of Extra Curricular activities include:
- Meeting new people
- Better time management
- Higher Self-esteem
- Learn New Skills
Please see below for the current Extra Curricular timetable on offer.
