Abstract:
The present study investigates the relationship between co-curricular activities and leadership skills of senior high school student leaders at Divine Word College of San Jose. This descriptive correlational approach aimed to determine the level of co-curricular activities and leadership skills of the 87 student leaders in grades 11 and 12 in different clubs/organizations. This study utilized adopted questionnaires as a primary research instrument. This study revealed a composite mean of 3.30 under the co-curricular activities, interpreted as high. Moreover, the students showed significant agreement in their leadership skills. Results also revealed that the other student leaders may have lower grades because they missed classroom activities. However, they proved that their academic performance was their priority, even if they initiated and led co-curricular activities. The results indicate a highly significant relationship between co-curricular activities and leadership skills. The findings underscore the importance of integrating co-curricular activities in schools to foster leadership skills among students. This study contributes to understanding co-curricular activity engagement as an indicator of leadership skills, highlighting the potential to lead the next generation in their college lives. It recommends that the Office of Student Affairs continue to conduct seminars on how the student leaders lead their members more positively and interactively.
