As the nights draw in and the daylight gets shorter we m ove to our 2 season of Activities. We have some new activities beginning and also some continuing throughout the year. Even though the same activity m ay appear as in season 1 it is important that students sign nd up for the 2 trimester if they wish to take that activity again. We are excited with the addition of our two Saturday ‘day trips’ making the most of our surroundings and getting students outside and active during the winter season. Upper School Students are responsible for signing up for Activities themselves. The sign up will be announced in the school bulletin and the form will appear on school intranet as well as in the announcements. Parents are encouraged to talk to their child about their th activity choices and work with them to encourage a healthy balance of activities. Although the trimester begins on November 24 some activities m ay start and finish at a different date. Please refer to the specific activity description in this booklet. Please if you ever have any questions feel free to come and talk to us in the Activities Office. Joe Monks, Activities Director – jmonks@isp.cz
