Dear Parents and Students, On behalf of the Wider Life Team, we wish to welcome you to the 2026/2027 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 passions 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 increase their personal development, while 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 clubs and externally-led activities.

New parents will receive an email from the school when their child is enrolled, with an activation link giving instructions on how to access the platform and to enrol in 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 firstcome-first-served system Parents should select 1st preference for their first choice, second preference for second choice activities.

Some clubs have limited numbers per Term based on staff : student ratios and spaces.

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 4.15pm at the latest as there is no childcare service after this time. Any students still at school after 4.15pm 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.

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.

Primary students should be collected no later then 5.45pm on Monday to Thursday and 4.30pm on Friday.

Club enrollment, 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. Parents can email WLP to be added to the waiting list.

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

Our WLP activities are run with the same high expectation of behavior 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 usually 6 students.

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.

School Transportation & Buses If your child usually takes the school bus home, please note that the bus departs at 4.05pm. As we currently do not have transportation available after clubs, students participating in after-school activities will need to be picked up by other means. For any questions, please contact us at transportation@stjulians.com.

Please make sure students signing up fo clubs and taking the school bus have alligned times as the bus cannot wait .

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 with as much advance notice as possible. Course cancellations may occur when the Theatre (Main Hall), Sports areas for Tournaments, 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, students involved in a cancelled clubs who parents cannot collect them after School will be supervised with Siblings.

Student Absences If your child is unable to attend school for any reason or needs to leave school without attending their club, as well as notifying the section secretaries please can you also email WLP widerlifeprogramme@stjulians.com so we notify the providers.

Attendance Attendance registers are auto-generated for sessions and providers will be submitting attendance directly to parents after each club from term 2.

If there is an issue with the attendance record can you please contact WLP phone 910027536. and email.

Safeguarding

All our providers and coaches go through a lengthy safeguarding process to work at SJS. We also hold safeguarding workshops for providers annualy.

Open Day Clubs Parents will be invited to attend an open session during the final weeks of the term or academic year. This provides an opportunity to observe the club in action, speak with the club leader and gain an insight into the skills and experiences their child has developed.

Progress Report Clubs Parents will receive a short written report/ checkbox outlining their child's participation, progress, achievements and areas for future development within the club.

Showcase Clubs Parents will be invited to attend a performance, exhibition, fairs or showcase event at the end of a term or academic year, allowing students to demonstrate and celebrate their learning and achievements.

Competition and Tournament Clubs Parents will have opportunities to watch their children represent the school or club in fixtures, competitions, tournaments or public events throughout the year, providing an authentic demonstration of their

development and performance.

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. Through training, the coordination of movements, synchronization, and reflexes enables significant improvement in the psychomotor skills of karate practitioners.
