SCIPS After School Activities
April 2024
Welcome to a new term of After School Activities (ASAs)
We hope you find a good range of activities to join and enjoy this term. The programme has been set up to provide children with an opportunity to learn and develop new and existing skills. We are glad to say that children will now be able to access activities across year groups so please look on the activities page and see what choices are available for your child.
Please ensure you read the information below carefully as this should help explain and answer any questions you may have. However, if you find you still need to make enquiries please contact the school office.
Registration & Payment
We are using this site https://www.schoolbookings.net/code for our registration system. You will have to register online in order to secure places for your after school activities. ASAs will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis and some will be limited by numbers - early booking is advised. The system will go ‘live’ at 20:00 on Tuesday 16th April and will close at 08:00 on Friday 19th April. Please be aware that you will not be able to make any bookings either before or after those times.
Children may book as many activities in the week as you choose for them to do.
The charges vary for each activity to take into account the different resources required. Please ensure you have checked the cost of each activity. The minimum cost for any activity is RM35 and covers the whole term. Some activities requiring additional resources and those provided by external providers will be higher than this. All activity fees are to be paid to Miss Oona or Miss Sarrika in the office.
Children in Reception to Year 8 are able to book an activity on any day of the week
The online system records in real-time the availability of places so you will be able to see if your child has been successful in gaining a place on the chosen activity.

Please do not make any payment until the activities have been confirmed as running and you will receive an invoice to pay for the activities. This will be on Monday 22nd April 2024.
Transport
If your child is returning home after ASAs in any way other than being collected by a parent or guardian, please communicate this to your CLASS TEACHER and the SCHOOL OFFICE. This could be an arrangement for the term or an alternative for one particular pick up.
It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to ensure that children are picked up on time after the clubs. For those children who take the bus you are responsible for arranging this with Mr Jeffrey. Any children left in school 15 minutes after the collection time will need to be signed out from the office.
Stopping an activity or teacher unavailable to take the activity
If a child signs up for an activity and then decides to stop the activity part way through the term, THERE WILL BE NO REFUND GIVEN. If a teacher is away for any reason, the children in that club will be reallocated to an ASA or the activity will be covered for the day. There may be an element of choice provided.
Switching activities is discouraged. If a switch is requested at any stage in the term, this will depend on the availability of space for the other activity and PARENTS WILL BE CHARGED FOR BOTH ACTIVITIES FOR THE DURATION OF THE TERM. This is because activities are approved to run based on the original numbers signing up for the activity.
Timings
All activities will begin at 1505
Children should be given a snack to have during their afternoon break which will take place between the end of the normal school day and the start of the activity
Pick up at the end of the activity will be from the front of the school so please check to see where your child is each day
Siblings will be linked up with older siblings so there is one pick up
Start & Finish Dates
Activities will commence on Monday 22nd April 2024. All activities will finish on Friday 14th June 2024.
There will be an ASA pause from 22nd May 2024 till 24th May 2024.
