Dear parents, dear students,
Now the time has finally come! The Extracurricular Activities are ready. Here is some information:
An overview of the extracurricular offerings, including those from RIS, can be found on our school website.
1. Afternoon Courses
As previously announced, the afternoon courses will now be offered in 3 Seasons plus 1 Mini Season. The following reasons support this adjustment:
The new structure allows us to offer a broader range of activities and courses to cater to the diverse interests and abilities of the students.
Through this additional alignment step with RIS, both schools have the opportunity to utilise their respective infrastructures better.
Students have the opportunity to benefit from offerings from both their own school and the partner school.
The shorter seasons provide more variety. Students can try out multiple activities and avail themselves of different options.
The 1st Season of afternoon courses starts on 28 August 2023 and lasts 8 weeks. You can find the course offerings on our school website.
Registration will open on 21 August at 19:00 and close on 24 August at 19:00. You can access the new registration platform through this LINK, create your own account, and conveniently book courses for your children in the cockpit. Please familiarise yourself with the platform before the registration begins. Kindly note that courses will only take place if the minimum number of participants is reached. The minimum number for internal courses is 7, while the minimum number for external courses varies.
Childcare
Between the end of classes and the afternoon courses, no students up to and including 6thgrade are allowed to be unsupervised in the school building. Therefore, all those waiting unsupervised for an afternoon course, for their parents to pick them up, or for the school bus must go to childcare. Childcare costs 200 THB for 45 minutes and is supervised by qualified personnel. Childcare passes (10 times 45 minutes) can be purchased at the school office.
2. Bulldogs Football Academy (RIS and RIS Swiss Section)
You have already received some information about football training. Registration is still open. Trial sessions will take place this week and on Monday of next week. For further information, visit our school website or contact c.braunshofers@ris-swiss-section.org or s.nyffenegger@ris-swiss-section.org. Football training is divided into two semesters and takes place throughout the year.
3. Dance Academy (RIS and RIS Swiss Section)
New to our school, we are now offering dance classes as well. The offerings range from Children’s Ballet to Creative Dance, K-Pop, HipHop, and Ballet. The company Satori Dance provides us with professional instructors for this purpose. At the end of each semester, there will be a performance where students can showcase what they have learned on the big stage. Trial sessions will take place next week. Let your children try out this new offering. It’s definitely worth it. Further information can be found on the flyer above and on our school website.
