 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

School is one of the places where students socialize and develop their skills. So

school clubs, are just activities you do outside the class. School organizations offer free

seminars for a specific interest of a student. A student club organization is consists of

four or more currently registered students and a faculty or staff advisor with common

interest and goals who form an organization. School organization can either have a

benefit or can be harmful to the academic performance of respondents.

The good benefits are students can show their hidden talents, boost their

confidence, can make friends, gain more knowledge and can develop leadership skills.

If a student learns something new in club organization, it could boost their

understanding of school subjects even if that activity doesn’t relate directly to class

work. However, it is harmful because, nowadays these organizations becoming more

demanding, requiring students to devote more of their time in attending meetings,

practices and other activities. Students will have to cope up with the schedules of the

organization where they belong, especially the officers thus some of their time for

studying is compromise. Financial issues considered as the major factor why it is

harmful.

organizations could positively or negatively affect the respondent’s academic

performance.
