ECA Terms and Conditions
To complement our academic programme, GSIS Primary offers a range of Extra Curricular Activities (ECAs). These lessons are free of charge; however, once you have enrolled your child in the programme, these lessons become part of the school day and your child is expected to attend on a regular basis.
At the Peak Campus, GSIS offers annual non-sport ECAs and three terms of sports ECAs.
The ECAs can be booked through the Primary Activities Booking System (https://online.gsis.edu.hk/PrimaryActivity/Activity.aspx?campus=pk). You will require your parent portal log-in details to gain access. Upon completion of the application process you will receive a booking confirmation email.
The most ECA´s are booked by 3 terms. Term 1 will conclude with the start of the winter holidays, Term 2 with the start of the Easter holidays and Term 3 runs till the summer.
Only the ECA´s marked in colour are booked for the whole school year.
School buses leave at 12:30 pm, 1:20 pm or 3.20 pm. If students take on a later course, they must be collected immediately after their activity as there is no supervision after 3:20 pm.
If students enrol in an activity starting at 2:00 pm, they must also be enrolled in an earlier activity (ECA or Afternoon Activity) as all teachers are engaged in ECAs and there is therefore no general school supervision.
Only online applications will be accepted.
The Extra-curricular Activities (ECA) are organized for GSIS students on a “First Come, First Served” basis.
Courses will only take place if there are a sufficient number of participants.
The School reserves the right to cancel activities should the staff or venue be required for other purposes.
In the event of the cancellation of an activity for whatsoever reason, the students and their parents will be informed directly.
GSIS students are insured within the current limits against accidents while attending GSIS ECAs.
Students enrolling for sports activities must be physically fit.
The School does not provide transportation for activities that take place off the school premises, unless it is stated in the course description.
The students will have the opportunity to have a “lunch-time” at the beginning of their activities between 1.15 pm to 2:00pm. Eating and drinking is only allowed in designated areas.
In enrolling in a course with GSIS, you agree that your child will follow the rules and regulations set out by GSIS and the coaches. You also agree that you will not hold GSIS responsible for any injuries that may be sustained during the session
A participant can be expelled from an activity for unruly behaviour.
