Extra-curricular activities are hugely valuable to young people in ways that are not quantifiable. 

Extra-curricular activities boost young people’s confidence to interact socially with others; extend their social networks; and provide them with new skills and abilities. Above all, they offer an important space to have fun and relax away from the pressures of school work. 

These more qualitative benefits must not be discounted, especially in the context of contemporary challenges around young people’s mental health and well-being.

Therefore, at Newry high School we strive to provide and extensive range of extra-curricular activities. The most updated list can be found below.
