RATIONALE Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA’s) are those that are complementary to the school program and scheduled outside the regular school timetable. At EFIB we intend to offer a full range of aca-demic, arts, sports and cultural activities. Our goal is to provide enjoyment, promote accomplish-

ment, encourage participation and develop social and leadership skills.

REGISTRATION DATES Parents are invited to register their child for semester 2 ECA’s before Sunday, February 18, via our online survey “SurveyMonkey“. Please note that once a registration form is submitted, no changes may be made to the ECA selection, with the exception of canceled ECA’s due to low en-

rolment which will allow for a second registration.

In the west, badminton came from a game called battledore and shuttlecock, in which two or more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air with small racquets. The game was called “Poona” in India during the 18th century, and British Army officers stationed there took a competitive Indian version back to England in the 1860s, where it was played at
