The DNA Song (Parody of Fetty Wap - Trap Queen) How Being Part of a 'House' Within a School Helps Students Gain A Sense of Belonging. Principal Hayes believes these mentoring activities are to thank for helping reduce bullying and other behavioral problems. Since the house system was introduced at Lake Canyon, suspensions went from nine to zero, she said, and instances of students being sent to the office for discipline greatly decreased. A sense of inclusion and engagement in a common enterprise can have academic benefits as well as social-emotional ones, according to Jennifer Kloczko, the principal of Stoneridge Elementary School in Roseville, California. Two teams of her teachers traveled to observe Lake Canyon’s house system in action as they launched their own. “When kids are really excited about school,” Kloczko said, “they are happier and they tend to learn more.” It’s a proposition supported by scholarly research tying a heightened sense of belonging to increased achievement.

Why parents spend hundreds a week on extra-curricular activities. Sam Allison spends about $70 for each of her two children on extra-curricular activities every week and says this rises to as much as $400 in the school holidays.
Her son Rafferty Dady, 8, and daughter Luella Dady, 6, both play soccer, swim and do gymnastics lessons every week. In the last school holidays, they also attended a three-day Code Camp, which Ms Allison said they will probably do again in future holidays. "I think extra-curricular activities are important, when I was a kid I did so much," Ms Allison said. "It's a lot to juggle sometimes but I just think it's important to do stuff outside school and meet new kids. " Ms Allison said that she prefers sports, drama or arts activities for her children while they're young, but also begun weekly tutoring for her son and said she likes the "educational slant" to activities such as Code Camp. "I liked that they weren't playing football all day or doing gymnastics," she said. Education reporter at The Sydney Morning Herald.

Depending on your child’s interests, they may provide the chance to get outside and exercise, see friends, pursue a hobby or simply destress and refresh their mind. They also help limit the time your child is spending in front of a TV or computer screen. They can help your child build their skills outside of the classroom. Why school clubs are very important. In my former secondary school, it was compulsory for every student to join at least two clubs.
The clubs to pick from included the Debating Club, Youth Alive, Young Christian Students and Interact among others. For either lack of knowledge about the importance of clubs or out of naughtiness, some students protested against this rule and only participated as observers in their clubs. The same is still true today with some opting to concentrate on their books or go home instead of joining others in club activities. After-school clubs 'boost poorer pupils' results' Image copyright Highwaystarz-Photography After-school clubs and sports can improve the academic performance and social skills of disadvantaged primary school pupils, research finds.
Poorer primary children who had taken part in after-school clubs were found to get better results at age 11 than peers from similar homes who had not. The Nuffield Foundation says clubs are an "easy vehicle" for enrichment. The findings come as ministers plan to use money from a sugar tax on fizzy drinks to fund after-school activities. The researchers - from NatCen Social Research, Newcastle University and ASK Research - analysed information on more than 6,400 children in England taking part in the Millennium Cohort Study, which has been following children born in 2000-01 from birth. They defined disadvantaged children as those whose family income was below the poverty line - that is below 60% of the average household income. High school activities.

A day in the life of a student in Australia. I am a routine fiend, but after five years at university, I have realised that a structured day is a rare occurrence.
Although I have managed to achieve some kind of daily routine, my days as an arts/law student at the University of Queensland (UQ) can be very varied. Getting ready Unlike many of my night-owl friends, I love an early start. It sets up my day nicely: not only is there less traffic on the roads when I drive to university, but it frees up my evenings so that I’m not studying through the night. It also makes those occasional lie-ins that bit more enjoyable. If there is one meal that I will never fail to miss, it’s breakfast. Class time As an arts/law student, it is rare for me to have more than 12 hours of class time per week.
I will often end up going to university five out of seven days anyway. Lunch. How to start a LoL club: Kristin School. High school League of Legends clubs take many forms.
