Extra Curricular Activities Programme

Please find attached our Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) Programme for Term 2.

Return date for preferences
An email stating your child’s preferences should reach the following address bvanrooyen@gcschool.ae before or by Thursday 10th December. Placements will be decided on a first-come, first-served basis. Places are allocated as emails are received. I have included a maximum number of places per activity on the list for your information. Requests received after 10th December will go onto a waiting list.  Please assume that your child has been accepted unless you are contacted by me or the administration staff. Please remember that students cannot change activities once the activity programme has started.

Starting and finishing dates.
The teacher-led activities will commence on the 10th January 2010 and will run until Wednesday 17th March. There will be no activities from 21st to 24th February. Please contact Mr. Matt from Libra for the starting and finishing dates of the paid activities that are offered by outside coaches and individuals.

Starting and finishing times and pick-ups.
All teacher led activities start at 2:30 and finish at 3:30. Please ensure that you arrive at school in good time to collect students promptly from the activity area. Students will be collected at the class or activity area. Ensure that the teacher knows when the child is picked up. Our students’ safety is our priority. Students that are not collected within 5 minutes after the end of the activity will be left in the care of the Academies Club. Parents should contact administration if they are running late. Parents being late puts unnecessary stress on the students. In the event of students being picked up by an adult other than parents / guardians please ensure that the activity leader is notified by a note in the student’s home-school communication book or by a phone call to the school receptionist.

Late bus.
The late bus service for students taking part in ECA activities will leave after the activities. The option is not available for non-bus users. Please ensure that you indicate your need for the bus service in your application. The deadline for reserving a place on the bus is 10th December 2010. Requests received after this date will not be guaranteed a place on the late bus.

We are again looking forward to a great term of activities. Please feel free to contact me when needed at bvanrooyen@gcschool.ae or speak to the Greenfield Community School Administration staff.

Yours sincerely
Ben van Rooyen
