Researchers further examined the types of co-curricular activities offered at Catholic schools, their impact on students personal growth and the challenges faced in achieving the set-objectives of the activities. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews of 25 senior teachers teaching in Catholic schools and focus group discussions (FGD) with students. The key findings of the thematic analysis revealed three main themes: holistic development, leadership qualities, and implementation challenges. Findings indicated that co-curricular activities such as sports, literary fests, and cultural events contribute to developing resilience, confidence, and leadership skills and are in alignment with the Catholic education values. These activities provide a platform for students to explore their potentials, nurture their talents, and build relationships. Further study may explore understanding the values and implementation of co-curricular activities in other schools. 2026 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor &amp; Francis Group.
