Clubs are an important part of the school. They help connect the whole students with each other and express their interests. Clubs can be divided into two main categories, academic clubs and hobby clubs.
Academic clubs are related to school subjects, such as maths, English and science. Most coaches are teachers in charge of that subject. Club activities may include additional classes and extracurricular activities suitable to each subject. For example, an English club will have a language festival, where members will sing, do a role-play or debate in English.
Hobby clubs are organised around a teen's personal interests, such as sports, arts, or talents. Students can freely choose according to their interests and abilities. They can learn new knowledge and practice necessary skills. Also, they can express their personal identity well and show off their creativity.
The club is not only a place to meet the interests and needs of teenagers, but it is also a place to relieve stress in studying and share difficulties. Therefore, parents should support and encourage their children to join school clubs with extra-curricular activities for teens' full development.
