Dear Parents and Students
On behalf of the Wider Life Team, we wish to welcome you to the 2023/24 activities, clubs and sports programme.
We see the Wider Life Programme (WLP) as a great way of supporting student learning and development and as a fun and engaging way to learn new skills.
In a competitive world, it is not just about academics but also about other experiences and skills. We would encourage our students to pursue their passion and develop new ones.
In our extended Wider Life activities, we are committed to giving our students the chance to learn more about the world around them, expand their thinking and share their ideas, find a passion, stay healthy and active, build their confidence, develop resilience, teamwork skills and leverage their personal development, but always learning to work with others, showing respect, integrity and tolerance to all, and following the School’s 6Cs.

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.
Parents will receive an email from the school on Friday, 1 September, 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.
St. Julian’s will host a WLP Fair for all activities in the primary playground grass area next to the West gate, which will take place on Friday, 1 September, from 9.00am to 12.30pm for new parents.

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.

Physical Education & Sport Faculty
Our sports teams and training sessions are inclusive, diverse and central to our community.
Key Programme attributes:
Power of participation
St. Julian’s values and expects regular attendance, commitment and respect towards the sport, coaches and fellow players.
Wide range of activities and amazing facilities
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.

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 school regularly hosts fixtures and tournaments every season. We support students wanting to develop their interests further by joining outside-school clubs.
At St. Julian’s, we aim to give every pupil a positive physical activity experience so that they look forward to participating and understanding its importance in a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Model United Nations (MUN)
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.

All students are constantly attended to by a Pilot Instructor while progressively watching, learning, and practising flying abilities.

LAMDA
(London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art)
Poetry and Prose classes
LAMDA is one of the UK’s oldest and most respected drama schools and awarding bodies. They have offered practical examinations in communication and performance subjects for over 130 years. In studying for LAMDA we concentrate on the power of words and how to put them across in the most natural and effective way possible. It encourages focus and concentration that can hugely complement academic studies while developing a love of literature, poetry and drama.
St. Julian’s focus will be on Speaking Verse and Prose, where learners develop a whole host of skills, from speaking clearly and using voice projection to improving memorisation and building an understanding of poetry and prose, which supports studies in English literature.

Do you want to be in a band, learn in a fun way and perform on a Professional Stage?
Students choose the instrument they would like to play in a band, drums, guitar, keyboard/piano, bass guitar or singing. Band members learn together, rhythm, chords and melodies. We teach each band individually to create their own music in a creative and dynamic environment. Each musician learns how each instrument plays an important role in music-making.

Creative Expression
Creative Expression combines drama and music to promote confidence and self-expression.
We encourage a child-led environment where the children are the biggest influencers in their creative process. We like to think of it as taking things from our magical “Mary Poppins bag” and we work with the things that either make us happy or those that challenge us. We look inside ourselves and observe the way we view the world and the result is a performative creation of what we want to express. In the Autumn Term, we will be exploring acting for film and musical soundtracks.

Location: St. Julian’s School
