CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES (CCAs) KEY DATES & TIMES THERE ARE TWO PHASES FOR CCA SIGN-UPS. Phase One CCA portal will open at 10am Thursday 16 November 2017. The portal will close at 10am on Tuesday 21 November and activities will be allocated. Phase Two The portal will then reopen at 4pm on Tuesday 21 November, where additional choices can be made. Phase Two will close at 10am on Thursday 23 November. This is when all remaining CCA places will be allocated. SEASON TWO RUNS FROM 27 NOVEMBER 2017 TO 9 FEBRUARY 2017. KEY INFORMATION Please select CCAs that your child will commit to for the whole season. The system randomly allocates places and there is no advantage to selecting early in this process. Due to the length of the school day CCAs are not available for Nursery learners. Kindergarten learners will only be assigned one CCA per week. Year 1 learners will be allocated up to 2 CCAs (1 CCA, 1 paid CCA). All learners from Year 2 will be assigned up to a maximum of 5 CCAs, (3 CCAs, 2 paid CCAs) depending on the popularity of the CCAs. Season Three starts Monday 12 March 2018. PARTICIPATION IN CCA SESSIONS & EVENTS Please take time to read over the various activities on offer and discuss with your child which CCAs they would like to commit to. We strongly encourage every learner to commit to at least one CCA each season and also to take part in at least one voluntary event a year. CCAs do not run during school or public holidays. EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM PROGRAMME – SEASON TWO 3
ADDITIONAL LUNCHTIME & AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES SPORT Each day there will be designated lunchtime games organised by the HPE department for Primary learners. Spaces will be allocated for Secondary learners. These will be advertised outside the HPE department. SWIMMING AT NEXUS Please note that the Nexus Swim Squads will continue to train as established. This programme runs throughout the year. Learners in Year 2 and 3 who wish to improve their swimming should join the Recreational Swimming CCA on Tuesday and Thursday 3.30pm – 4.20pm. ART OPEN HOUSE Art at Lunch (Year 3 – 6) Learners are welcome to come into the Art Studio A2-51 on Thursday during their lunch break to work with recyclables and to plan and create artwork. TRANSPORTATION At the end of CCAs, learners may take the late bus home at 4.30pm for an additional charge or can arrange other forms of transport. CCA buses must be confirmed by contacting the BT&Tan Transport Pte Ltd Office at 6483 7260/6506 0140 or emailing ops@btntan.com. More contact details are available at www.nexus.edu.sg. Parents who are picking up learners at 4.30pm can meet their child at the cafeteria. The late bus does not run outside of the CCA season. 4 NEXUS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (SINGAPORE)
COSTS Many CCAs are offered free of charge; if there is a cost associated with the CCA this is indicated. Payments for CCAs should be made once your child receives confirmation of a place on this activity. All payments should be made to the School Cashier. Please note that all CCA payments should be completed by 8 December 2017 (end of week 2 of CCAs). If your child attends their CCA at any point after week two and you have not paid, then you will be billed for the whole season. Learners will only be able to attend their CCA in week 3 if any payment for their activity has been made in full. Please be aware that if your child is absent or a paid CCA is cancelled by the school due to unforeseen circumstances e.g. haze or adverse weather, there will be no ‘make-up’ class or reimbursement. This also applies to school trips and camps. HOW TO PAY? Please contact Finance directly if you require any assistance with payment issues. You can reach them at finance@nexus.edu.sg or in the Cashier’s Office on Level 2.

SERVICE & LEADERSHIP AT NEXUS
LL
We encourage and support our learners in their service and leadership initiatives.
Nexus has CCAs that are led by our Secondary students. These CCAs have
an LL symbol next to them which indicates they are Learner Led.
These acts of service will contribute to:
• Creativity, Action & Service (CAS) - this is a requirement of the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP)
• National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) - All Year 12 learners will be doing this
award along with any Year 10 & 11 learners who wish to sign up. For more information
please contact nyaa@nexus.edu.sg
SCHOOL COUNCIL
Primary
We consider each child at Nexus capable of taking a leadership role. Stephanie
Thompson will provide dedicated support sessions on Thursday lunchtime to nurture
student leadership initiatives
Last season:
• Year 3 organised a ‘Rubbish Ranger’ group
• Year 4 organised a Book Swap
• Year 5 celebrated a Human Rights Festival and ran a charity shoe box appeal
If you have an idea to make the world (or Nexus) a better place, we would love to get
learner-initiated lunchtime activities started. Children are more than welcome to come
along and get involved.
Secondary
The focus for the Nexus Secondary Council this year is supporting our Nexus community by:
• Planning and organising ‘Diversity Week’
• Coordinating the Nexus Nations Parade
• Continuing to take action around the school, for example last year the Secondary School
Council led an initiative to create a learner friendly outdoor space for use at lunchtime.
The group continues to share and discuss whole school issues and ideas, and work
towards a positive outcome for all. The Nexus Secondary School Council meet once a
week on a Friday lunchtime.
