AISM Co-Curricular Program
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.
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 am - 8.30 am).
PROGRAM DATES, SELECTION & ENROLMENT:
- Activities for Semester 2, 2023 will begin on Thursday, 20 July - Week 1 of Term 3 & end on Friday, 24 November - Week 8 of Term 4.
- The online selection will be available from Sunday, 19 June at 12.00 pm. The online selection period will close on Wednesday 22 June, at 12.00 pm.
- 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 accommodate 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 and sibling games offered Monday to Thursday for students in ELC to Year 5 who have older siblings participating in after school activities. If you would like your child to attend please indicate this on the online Engage selection form.
- 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 school website, Newsletter and eNews.
