In the study 3 sample groups encompassing, 324 students, 129 teachers and 28 principals participated. Questionnaire, interview and observation checklist were instruments used to collect data. After data were collected, analysis was made qualitatively and quantitatively. Hence, the results suggested that majority of participants had good awareness on the co-curricular activities.
