This result of this study shows that there is a significant and positive relationship between teacher’s leadership, student’s commitment and involvement with co-curricular activities, and student’s soft skills. Thus, the school leadership should play an important role in enhancing the invovement of the school co-curriculum activities to enhance the student’s soft skills. In addition, the school leadership should also look into the two important indicators which is the effectiveness of the leadership practice and the commitment of the students’s involvement as the outcome enshrined in the National Education Philosophy.References
