Should I include extra-curricular activities in the Personal Statement?

Absolutely. The important thing to remember is that every activity or experience you mention should relate in some ways to the course you are applying to and/or it should equip you with the right skills for that course. It is crucial to include extra-curricular activities in your personal statement to show that you are an all-rounded individuals who has many interests besides school subjects. When mentioning extra curricular activities remember to answer the following questions:what is the activity?what skills and tools has it taught me?how does it relate to the course I am applying to?how has this activity made me a better person/student?
