attending a relevant club/society at school. If there isn't one, then starting your own would be even more impressive, if that is something you are passionate about.
•
Personal projects, such as building Raspberry Pi/Arduino devices, programming games, animating, making a website, etc. These don't only demonstrate your interest in the subject, but also your values and commitment and are probably the best thing to include into your PS.
•
Any relevant and large enough online courses that you might have completed (do not just mention/list them, however, use them as evidence to describe your independent learning abilities and interest in the subject).
•
Hackathons, datathons, ethical hacking competitions - there are many in-person and online events for all levels of abilities. Not only they are a fun and amazing learning experience, but winning, and even just attending one is a great thing to mention.

I believe Oxford's CS course requires a great level of mathematical knowledge, so perhaps mentioning any maths-related achievements is also a good idea.
