SchoolsBuddy

The Wider Life Programme support platform

SchoolsBuddy is an online platform where parents can register and access all the clubs and activities as part of the Wider Life Programme (WLP) as well as sports fixtures and tournaments. In addition, they can keep a daily diary for their children. In the SchoolsBuddy platform, parents can find all the necessary information to choose and enrol their children in their preferred school club and externally led activities.

New parents will receive an email from the school at the time your child is enrolled, with an activation link giving instructions on how to access the platform and to enrol into the clubs and activities. New parents should click on the link and will be redirected to the SchoolsBuddy page, where they will have to select the school name “St. Julian’s – Carcavelos”.

We offer an open preference option so parents and students can choose activities at their own pace and are not at a disadvantage if they are not available when the email is sent – it is not a first-come-first-served system

Important information for parents

Start and end times of clubs and activities

All children in the Primary Section not enrolled in the Wider Life Programme (WLP) must be picked up by 4.00pm at the latest as there is no child care service after this time. Any students still at school after 4.00pm must be enrolled in the Wider Life Programme. The same rule applies on Fridays after 2.00pm.

Students and their younger siblings should not be left unsupervised on the school premises between activities and whilst waiting for older siblings. Arrangements for supervision of children moving from the school day to the Wider Life activities must be clearly coordinated between the parent and the Director of the Wider Life Programme or club provider/club teacher on enrolment. If a course provider/club teacher is unexpectedly delayed for a class, he/she should contact the parents directly.

Your child will be collected by the course provider/club teacher at the end of their school day for the start of the club and be handed over to parents or guardians in the Primary Playground or West Gate (Nursery to Year 6) and Main Gate (Year 7 to Year 13) at the end. Please be prompt with the pick-up times, as teachers have other commitments and cannot remain with students. Students whose parents do not pick up in time will remain with School Security.

Club enrolment, attendance and equipment

There are limited numbers in some activities, so classes will be organised on a preference basis, allowing parents to select with time and consideration. If your child does not enter into the club in the Autumn Term, they can select the club for the Spring or Summer Terms if available. Preference 1 is your first choice, but also please select preference choices 2 and 3 for your second and third choices so as to not miss out.

St. Julian’s values and expects regular attendance, commitment and respect towards the teachers and fellow players. We expect students to be punctual and respectful and show effort and commitment within the activity or club.

Our WLP activities are run with the same high expectation of behaviour and respect as lessons. Students not following providers’ instructions and not behaving can be asked to leave a WLP activity.

Students are expected to be in school if they plan to participate in the day’s WLP activities. Any student not in attendance for any part of the school day will not be eligible to participate in WLP activities on the day of contests, games, and performances. Students choosing to participate in WLP activities agree to act in a manner that positively represents themselves, their team/group, the school and their families.

Please encourage your child to bring reusable water bottles and their club equipment. For PE and Sports, students need their school sports kit, hats and, when applicable, skin guards and football boots for football and waterproofs.

If there are any medical issues we should be aware of, please email us when it is necessary. St. Julian’s School has an in-house physio on site, who is present every day for the duration of clubs to administer first aid and support teachers/coaches with emergency care.

Courses may be withdrawn should participant numbers fail to meet established minimums.

Important information for parents

Payments

For paid clubs (typically externally-led activities), payment arrangements are organised directly with the club provider. Payments for each Term must be paid to the course provider by the third week of the club. Students cannot change between different clubs during the Term but must commit once their decision is made. If parents fail to make payments to the providers, your child can be asked not to attend further. Once parents and students have committed to the club after the payment, providers are not required to reimburse for the rest of the Term. Parents failing to make their payments will not be able to enrol their children the following Term.

Cancellations

As a rule, we will always try to avoid cancelling an activity or club, however, at times, there might be no other choice. As such, we will let parents know in as much advance notice as possible. Course cancellations may occur when the Theatre (Main Hall), New Gym and Primary Hall are used for examinations or academic purposes.

If a club needs to be cancelled last minute, we will endeavour to contact parents and let students know by lunchtime of that day. We will always try and find an alternative solution. However, this might not always be possible.

Our experienced coaching staff serves as positive role models, focusing on holistic student development.

As active members of competitive sports networks like CHESS and ESC, we engage in spirited competitions at both local and international levels. We prioritise inclusion and support in Divisions 6, 5,4, offering opportunities for all students to develop their interests both within and beyond the school environment.

Our representative teams are divided into Team ACompetitive, Team B- Developing and Team C- Participation

Our facilities and resources are aimed at giving all our students the greatest possible choice so they can find a healthy and active pursuit to suit them. St. Julian’s offers a wide range of team games, competitive matches and individual activities.

Experienced coaching staff

Our coaches are positive role models who display in-depth knowledge of their activity, an ability to teach, strong leadership, ethical behaviour, and interest in the holistic development of students.

Part of a competitive and valuable sports network

St. Julian’s is a well-established member of CHESS (Council of Heads of English Speaking Schools), which is a group of International schools within Portugal that compete in male and female sports alike in basketball, football, volleyball, athletics and cross country in Division 6, 5, 4, 3 & Varsity tournaments.

We expect our Div 3 and Varsity teams to have one Sport training plus a Weights room session on Monday, Tuesday or Friday.

Inclusion and support

At St. Julian’s, we are inclusive, and we try to offer all students who regularly train to attend local friendly fixtures during the season to compete at an end-of-season tournament within Portugal. Our competitive team for tournaments are selected students who have committed to training but who also perform at a high ability level. Our school regularly hosts fixtures and tournaments every season. We support students wanting to develop their interests further by joining outside-school clubs.

MUN is an academic simulation of the United Nations where students play the role of delegates from different countries and attempt to solve real‑world issues with the policies and perspectives of their assigned country.

For example, a student may be assigned to the United Kingdom and will have to solve global topics such as nuclear non-proliferation or climate change from the policies and perspectives of the United Kingdom.

KS3 students will follow the Montessori approach to MUN, which is based on collaboration and negotiation and will work towards participating in an international Model United Nations conference in New York in February.

KS4 and KS5 will follow the more competitive approach to MUN embraced by Harvard University and will be able to apply their skills at an international conference in Washington in February.

MUN develops many life-long skills such as public speaking, research, conflict resolution, and teamwork and represents an excellent addition to a student’s school profile.

Karate

Practising karate is particularly beneficial for supporting the physical and mental development of children and young people, as it boosts their confidence and helps them control their energy while thinking about their actions.

Values such as respect, understanding, solidarity, and nobility are instilled from a young age. Better academic performance is one of the most immediate consequences of practicing this discipline, as reported by parents and teachers.

The continued practice of karate helps to find a balance between physical and mental well-being.

It serves as excellent therapy for controlling aggression, violence, shyness, and frustration.

Each Session focuses on different art projects using a range of techniques and recyclable materials that result in imaginative mixed art projects. Creative Sewing inspires children to imagine and create handmade crafts that aim to develop sewing skills from basic stitching to more complex creative projects using diverse materials such as buttons, unique fabrics, and other textiles.
