FAQs

It's recommended to conduct a comprehensive audit annually, with ongoing assessments throughout the school year to address immediate needs and gather feedback from participants.

The audit team should include school administrators, activity coordinators, teachers leading various clubs or teams, student representatives, and possibly parents or community partners involved in extracurricular programs.

Key areas include diversity of activity offerings, participation rates, resource allocation, scheduling and time management, alignment with educational goals, safety measures, inclusivity and accessibility, student leadership opportunities, and community engagement.

Audit results can guide the introduction of new activities, inform resource allocation decisions, enhance inclusivity measures, improve scheduling practices, and help create action plans for better aligning extracurricular offerings with student interests and school objectives.

Student feedback is crucial as it provides direct insights into the appeal and effectiveness of current offerings, helps identify gaps in the program, and guides efforts to make activities more engaging and relevant to student interests and needs.
