Abstract

Many secondary schools conduct indoor as well as outdoor events at schools to enhance the holistic development of the learners. Both of the events not only boost academically to the students but also improve their self-confidence. The purpose of this study was to find out the importance of conducting indoor and outdoor events at secondary schools and also dig out the strengths behind organizing such events at schools. The research paradigm of this study was positivism and this quantitative study employed the survey research design to find out the importance of conducting these events at schools. I selected 75 students and 25 teachers from secondary schools by using random sampling for this study. I distributed the questionnaire into two sections to my respondents online i.e. messenger to collect the primary data for the study. I used correlative analysis for the interpretation of the collected data of this study. I divided the received responses into students’ responses and teachers’ responses. The findings of the students’ response revealed that a fixed schedule for extracurricular activities, trained and experienced coordinators, and sufficient materials for the events are essential for conducting indoor and outdoor events at schools. The findings of the teachers’ responses show that extracurricular activities boost the academic performance of the students developing different language skills. The findings of this study have implications for school administrators, teachers, parents, students, and textbook writers as well.
