                                         SEMESTER 1 2020
                                       PROGRAM INFORMATION
Our Co-Curricular Program is designed to provide students with opportunities to explore and extend
themselves in Sport, Creative and Performing Arts and Personal Development activities outside of their
normal timetabled classes.

 PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM:

 • While it is not compulsory, the School encourages all students from Years 1 to 12 to
   participate in at least one activity each semester.
 • Students in ELC do not participate in the program activities, but can be supervised in crèche
   only if an older sibling is participating in a CCA.
 • Students in Year 1 may do a maximum of one activity each semester.
 • Students in Year 2 may do a maximum of two activities each semester.
 • Please note that all of our swimming CCA’s, Morning CCA’s and Friday afternoon CCA’s do not
   count towards their maximum activity allocation.

TIMING OF THE ACTIVITIES:

• Most activities run from Monday to Thursday after school between 3.20 pm and 4.20 pm.
• There may be a small number of activities that run outside of these times, which will mean
  there will be no school buses provided. Parents are therefore required to provide their own
  transport for these students. This includes all morning CCA’s - (7.30 - 8.30am) and Friday afternoon CCA’s.

PROGRAM DATES, SELECTION & ENROLMENT:

• Activities for Semester 1, 2020 will begin on Monday, 17 February- Week 5 of Term 1 & end on
  Friday, 19 June Term 2.
• A list of all available activities for Semester 1 will be available on Engage from
 Friday, 24 January, 2020. This allows families to peruse offerings prior to the online selection process.
• The online selection will be available from 7.00pm Wednesday, 29 January. The online selection period
  will close at 7.00pm Thursday, 6 February, 2020.
• All enrolments must be made through the Engage Portal. No private arrangements are to be made
  between the external providers and the parents or students.
• All activities run for a semester.
• All efforts will be made to ensure that students get their first choice; however, some activities accom
 modate limited numbers. This will be determined by the automatic selection process on Engage with a
“first come, first serve” process.

FEES & BILLING:

• A cost is charged for those activities where an outside coach/instructor has been contracted to run the
  program, the activity is off-site or there are costs for consumable items.
• The cost is charged per semester, unless stated otherwise, and is non-refundable. Students may have
  a 1 week trial time before electing to discontinue the CCA. Pro-rata fees may be applicable in
  some cases.
• If your child attends the activity for longer than one week, you will be charged the full semester amount.
  Therefore it is imperative to formally withdraw your child from the activity if they are no longer
  attending. To formally withdraw your child from a CCA, you must contact the relevant CCA coordinator
  in person or by email. See below for contact details.
• It is expected that payment of fees are settled no later than 2 weeks after invoices are sent out.
• Students with outstanding fees may be asked not to attend the related activity until full payment
  is made. Unpaid fees may also affect future enrolment in paid activities.

CRECHE & STUDENT EXPECTATIONS AFTER SCHOOL:

• There will be a Crèche offered Monday to Thursday for students in ELC to Year 1 who have older siblings
  participating in after school activities. If you would like your younger child to attend Crèche please
  indicate this on the online Engage selection form.
• Years 2 to 5 students who have siblings participating in after school activities may attend the
  Sibling Games Club.
• Students are unable to be supervised by staff on the school grounds after 3.20pm unless they are
  involved in an organised school activity. If they are not enrolled in a CCA they must not be on school
  grounds, and must go home.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION & QUERIES:

• Please feel free to contact the CCA team any time regarding queries or concerns.
• CCA Coordinators can also support you in the selection and enrolment process.
• Please advise a CCA Coordinator if your child is going to be absent for 2 or more consecutive sessions.
• Up-to-date information regarding the program is communicated through the web page, daily bulletin,
  parent newsletter and parent E-news bulletin.
