CCA Mission

Al students need to participate in a balanced and varied range of activities that will enhance and enrich their student experience at CIS. Our activity program is essential to developing a well-rounded CIS Wild Cat. We encourage all students to get involved and undertake a minimum of one or more CCA to support their ‘in class’ learning.

Can I Cancel/Change Activities

• Activities do have a minimum and maximum number of participants depending on their nature. If an activity is cancelled due to low enrollment, you will be contacted by the CCA Coordinator and those students will be able to sign up for another activity during the first week of activities. If no choice is made during that time, the student forfeits his/her chance to sign up for an activity.

• Students may not change activities after the second week of the session. Students missing 3 meetings of an Elementary activity will forfeit their place and be removed from the roster. Middle and High School Activities are compulsory and will be assessed and marked on report cards.

• If paid activities are cancelled, you will be notified by the provider directly.

• If the school is closed, all activities are cancelled.

 

Once again, please sign up for all activities by the session deadline. Unfortunately, late registrations cannot be accepted.
