Extracurricular​ ​Activities Welcome​ ​back​ ​to​ ​school! This​ ​booklet​ ​is​ ​intended​ ​to​ ​give​ ​students​ ​and​ ​parents​ ​information​ ​regarding​ ​the​ ​extracurricular offerings​ ​at​ ​Seisen​ ​this​ ​academic​ ​year​ ​and​ ​help​ ​with​ ​planning​ ​your​ ​schedule​ ​so​ ​that​ ​choices​ ​are well​ ​informed​ ​and​ ​suitable​ ​for​ ​each​ ​student.​ ​Please​ ​note​ ​that​ ​dates​ ​may​ ​be​ ​subject​ ​to​ ​change. Keeping​ ​in​ ​line​ ​with​ ​Seisen’s​ ​mission,​ ​extracurricular​ ​offerings​ ​cover​ ​Academics,​ ​Athletics,​ ​Fine Arts,​ ​and​ ​Service​ ​allowing​ ​students​ ​breadth​ ​of​ ​choice​ ​and​ ​many​ ​opportunities​ ​to​ ​develop diverse​ ​skills. Students​ ​are​ ​encouraged​ ​to​ ​find​ ​experiences​ ​in​ ​which​ ​they​ ​are​ ​truly​ ​interested​ ​and​ ​want​ ​to develop​ ​or​ ​further​ ​their​ ​skills.​ ​Seisen’s​ ​activities​ ​are​ ​open​ ​to​ ​all​ ​students;​ ​however,​ ​some​ ​may require​ ​a​ ​certain​ ​ability​ ​that​ ​students​ ​must​ ​demonstrate​ ​through​ ​auditions​ ​and​ ​tryouts.​ ​Criteria are​ ​set​ ​out​ ​by​ ​the​ ​supervising​ ​teachers​ ​who​ ​can​ ​also​ ​provide​ ​advice​ ​to​ ​students​ ​who​ ​may​ ​not qualify​ ​but​ ​want​ ​to​ ​work​ ​towards​ ​joining​ ​those​ ​clubs​ ​in​ ​subsequent​ ​years. We​ ​emphasize​ ​that​ ​keeping​ ​a​ ​balance​ ​with​ ​other​ ​responsibilities​ ​is​ ​important.​ ​Students​ ​should not​ ​be​ ​burdened​ ​by​ ​their​ ​extracurricular​ ​choices.​ ​Please​ ​see​ ​the​ ​changes​ ​being​ ​made​ ​to extracurricular​ ​activities​ ​this​ ​year​ ​on​ ​the​ ​following​ ​pages.​ ​We​ ​hope​ ​these​ ​changes​ ​will​ ​help​ ​you and​ ​your​ ​daughters​ ​make​ ​suitable​ ​decisions​ ​and​ ​also​ ​ensure​ ​that​ ​students​ ​show​ ​growth​ ​and success​ ​across​ ​everything​ ​that​ ​they​ ​are​ ​doing​ ​at​ ​Seisen. Good​ ​luck​ ​with​ ​all​ ​your​ ​choices! Things​ ​to​ ​remember​ ​before​ ​you​ ​sign​ ​up​ ​for​ ​any​ ​activities: ● ● ● ● ●
