Notre Dame Junior high school has various extracurricular activities to be joined by the students , from sports to journalism . At the beginning of academic year of 2016-2017 Notre Dame Junior High School continue to hold again the extracurricular activity of English Club . This club is not very popular and only consists of a few members , but actually it is pretty fun .
The club is held every Wednesday , usually from 3 P . M . to 4 P . M . out of normal school days . The time is arranged so that if you have scout activities , you can still join after it ’ s finished . This activity is directed and guided by Mr . Boro , who is an English teacher of grade 9 .
English club has plenty of activities , like practicing telling story , reading news , playing drama , speech , playing scrabble , and many more . The goal of doing these activities are partially to prepare the members to someday be able to join competitions against other schools

and also to help them speak English more fluently . The club also sometimes performs drama recitals for school events , like the language day celebration . By doing these performance activities can also help you to become more confident and to not be afraid and nervous to stand and perform in front of audiences .
Another activity from English club is writing article for publishing in the Notre Dame School magazine . The members of the club submit a self-written article in English then the best article will be selected to be published in the English
corner page of Notre Dame School magazine
During the activities , sometimes some students are trying to practice telling story and delivering speech in front of the class to train public speaking although some of us are still shy and nervous standing in front of the class but . This is normally happen to anyone because it is not easy to do it for the first time but Mr . Boro encouraged and motivated us to do it . I think it is good to train our public speaking and increase our confidence standing in front of the audience .
So guys , if you have willingness to join this club , come on join us ! Let ’ s make a community of youth who have an interest in exploring the world by mastering English through this club .
