The extracurricular program is an important and an integral part of Kawefunmi secondary school life. The school expects each student to be in one activity or the other to serve the following objectives:
  • The extra curricular programme allows pupils to develop and display skills that are not accommodated by class work for example, in athletics, gardening, music dramatics, public speaking, creative writing, chess, etc
  • Extracurricular activities provide means through which pupils may pursue excellence and achieve distinction in other fields of human endeavour, where academic distinction has become elusive.
  • The curricular programme helps to develop the sense of community and service as most of the activities involved are collaborative. Pupils are encouraged to work together within the contest of the activity. Moreover, many extra-curricular activities, for example, the service programme, choir, drama club, and the literary club are directed towards service of the school community.
