Some Activities may run during lunchtime, particularly those where students are leaving the school grounds. Students need to consider this when balloting and be aware that they may need to take and eat their lunch on the journey from school or back to school. It is recommended that students participating in SIS Sports or students that have other commitments (Yr 12 subject, Music etc) choose Activities that are on campus to avoid missing sessions that you may be charged for. Transport is via Budget Rosa Bus or Woodleigh HiAce Van driven by a Woodleigh Staff Member or via Driver Coastal Bus Lines.
Selecting and Balloting for an Activity Throughout the school year, students are encouraged to choose Activities from at least three of the following categories: Academic Enrichment/Challenge; Leadership; Visual and Performing Arts; Sport and Physical Development; Health, Lifestyle and Practical Skills; Technology and ICT; and Community Partnerships. Descriptions of each Activity are provided in the following pages. Please read the information carefully, noting any special requirements such as costs, equipment, or materials, and discuss your selections with your parents. If you require further details, contact the teacher responsible for the Activity or the Head of Activities, Mr Azzopardi. When submitting your ballot, you should be willing to participate in any of your selected Activities. As you may be allocated to any one of your six choices, please consider your preferences carefully. Students who do not complete the initial online ballot by 10:30am on February 24 will be required to complete a restricted online ballot. This may limit available options, and if most Activities are already full, a further restricted paper ballot may be necessary. Students who do not submit a ballot by the final deadline will be assigned to an Activity.
Additional Information Activities that incur a cost
Adventure-Based Activities Some Activities are regarded as adventure-based. Being involved may have some higher elements of risk and the possibility of injury, both of a minor and serious nature. It is important that both students and parents are aware of this fact. It is also important that you have an understanding of the nature of the Activity, if you have any questions in regard to a specific Activity please contact the teacher in charge of the Activity or the Head of Activities, Mr Azzopardi. If a student undertakes an adventure-based Activity, approval may be required from a parent. Appropriate, Sunsmart Clothing In sporting Activities you will need your sports uniform and appropriate footwear. Students involved in outdoor Activities need to supply their own hat and sunscreen. Sunscreen is also available in each Homestead, the Sustainability Centre, with staff at outdoor venues and at the Gym in case you forget. Students must wear Activity appropriate clothing that is in line with the Woodleigh Dress Code. Additional Health and Safety Information The health and safety of all in our community remains foremost in our planning. We are establishing ongoing protocols to ensure the physical safety of our community. For this reason some of our Activities will be adapted to provide reasonable precautions and a safe learning environment over the Unit. All Activities will abide by Government regulations.
Some Activities may incur a cost where individual coaching or special equipment is required. Costs are shown within this pamphlet and will be charged to the term’s account. If your child undertakes an Activity where there is a cost, you will be notified and approval will be required.
