Extracurricular activities appeal to students' interests because the clubs should be based on demand. Because extracurriclar activities are voluntary, if the students want to do it, then certainly in this school, the teachers or older students, for example the sixth formers, would try to put on a club. So Warhammer, we discovered, was among the interests of our new band of year sevens, so Warhammer club appeared with sixth formers to run it. So from that point of view, the extracurricular activities will appeal to students because the students want to be there, they've demanded to be there. There are no clubs that are put on and students told to attend. Extracurricular is voluntary, not compulsory.
