EXTRA-CURRICULAR / SCHOOL SPORTS POLICY

 

Students are encouraged to participate in the variety of extra-curricular activities which are available for them.

As ambassadors of CEC/GA, students are reminded that whether “at home” or “away”, they are expected to act in accordance with the policies and procedures of the school, the Strait Regional Centre for Education, and/or the School Sport Nova Scotia.  Parents, coaches, managers, and teachers who travel with students act “in place of parents” (in loco parentis) and therefore have authority over them. 

 

A Parental Travel Permission form must be signed by a parent or guardian for any student to travel for extracurricular activity.

 

It is a privilege, not a right, to participate in extra-curricular activities.  If, in consultation with teachers and/or parents, it is felt that a student’s work, attitude or attendance is unsatisfactory, the privileges to play on a school team or participate in extra-curricular activities may be forfeited.  Any student failing courses may be subject to removal from school teams / groups until such time as their academic performance has improved.

 

Students are responsible for all work missed due to time away from school for curriculum-based events, field trips, tours and sports trips.

 

Students must be in attendance the day of and the day after an activity, event or game in which he/she is involved unless he/she has been excused by the administration. When an absence is unexcused, students who do not attend classes the day of an activity, event or game will not be permitted to participate. When an absence is unexcused, students who do not attend classes the day after an activity, event or game will not be permitted to participate in the next scheduled activity, event or game.  If a student is suspended because of a discipline problem, the student will be suspended from participating. 

 

In order to participate in SSNS competition, any student who is registered as a regular student shall be eligible to compete. In semestered schools, a regular student is defined as one who is registered in a minimum of three courses in each semester at the school.
