HS After School Activities 2021-2022

School Year 2021 2022 2nd Semester

High School Clubs and Support Labs

Introduction

Being an IB school, Chapel values and encourages students to explore learning and development beyond the classrooms. As stated in the IB Learner Profile, "We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives - intellectual, physical, and emotional - to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live."

To support students' holistic development, Chapel offers a wide range of extracurricular activities.

These include clubs, physical activities, and after school academic support. All students are encouraged to enroll in clubs that requires regular attendance and active participation. Therefore, Chapel recommends that students enroll in no more than three extracurricular activities, to partake meaningfully in each activity they undertake, and to keep a focus on academic responsibilities.

Support Labs All students in high school can benefit from the Student Support System. At least once a week, teachers from the core courses (Sciences, Math, English, Portuguese) are available at different times to guide individualized studies, help students with their homework or project questions, and revise content explored during classes.

The Support Labs are an excellent opportunity for students to look for a more individualized approach, when doubts about specific topics remain or they want to further explore one subject.

Students can attend these programs whenever needed. However, it is expected that students performing below C- should look for support until academic results increase and surpass that grade.

Below you will find the list of Support Labs available. While we are online, students can access the Support Labs through Zoom Links.

Club advisors (faculty) are responsible for developing guidelines and expectations for club membership. They are responsible for taking attendance and guarantee that members interactions and behavior are aligned to Chapel’s values and expectations.

All club activities must follow the High school parent-student handbook and the guidelines presented in this section. Each club has a specific process for enrollment and participation.

Some clubs are created and developed by Chapel community members, e.g. STUCO (Student Council), while others are related to other organizations and follow their main guidelines such as MUN (Model United Nations), NHS (National Honor Society) and NJHS (National Junior Honor Society).

Clubs Clubs can be founded by teachers or students, but all of them are under adult supervision. It is expected that students assume leadership in these groups, but all actions must be guided, approved, and supervised by an adult advisor. The main goal of activities led by club members is to provide opportunities for students to explore varied interests beyond subjects taught in regular classes.

Each semester the school will publish a schedule of extracurricular activities designed for high school students. Students are encouraged to contact Club Advisors in case they need further clarifications about the activities introduced in this booklet.

Each club must have a Mission statement, clear guidelines and expectations, procedures for enrollment, and maintenance of membership. To be considered a club member and receive a participation certificate students must follow the Student Code of Conduct, adhere to the club rules and expectations, and attend the minimum number of meetings established by each club organization. Depending on each club's rules, students may participate in activities as a visitor.

Attendance will be controlled in all club activities. The initiation and the continuity of any Club depends on the minimum of 5 participants in every encounter.

Knowledge Bowl is an academic tournament consisting of teams from various international schools in Brazil, Chile, and Panama. Teams work collaboratively and apply their multidisciplinary knowledge to answer questions in various subjects ranging from Mathematics and History to popular culture. Students are able to meet like-minded students from other schools at competitions. Due to the virus, however, we have had to put a hold on our travel plans. The team is excited about future travel and competitions, as we have been practicing on Zoom every Friday afternoon.
