Co-curricular or extra-curricular are terms coined to describe activities or programs undertaken by students outside of the classroom; and often held after school hours. These include sports, musical instruments and band as well as clubs and societies.
Co-curricular activities often complement the education program whilst extra-curricular are coordinated by school and mainly include sport.
These activities often complete the holistic offering of a students education.
In non-government schools, these activities attract an additional cost above the set tuition fee.
