After school clubs are a great opportunity to improve your extracurriculars, are also crucial for the completion of the Diploma Programme (Y12 and Y13) and can be used as a skill, physical reaction or voluntary service in order to complete the Duke of Edinburgh awards.
Something that confuses many though, is the several categories that these multitude of activities can fit into. It is extremely important for one to be aware which aspect of their CAS or award they are completing through their participation to prevent the repetition of certain aspects or the lack of a crucial element.
Below is a table with the many after school clubs provided by St Louis and the various categories they fit into for both the Diploma Programme and the Duke of Edinburgh awards. Look for your club and find out what aspect of your DP or D of E you can use it for!
