11.. IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn Dear Parents,

We hope you and your families have had a nice summer vacation. The ECA programme, Semester 1, moves very quickly during the busy “return to school period” for parents and children. So we would like to offer some information here and let you get into the important job of selecting what activity your child is interested in doing this coming year.

The Enrolment Process: For new parents to TES and parents that need a quick reminder of how the enrolment process works, there are a couple of ways to understand the process:

1. TESmile - easy to use enrolment interface 2. Demonstration Video - Choose your ECAs on TESmile - walk through enrolment steps 3. Annual ECA Schedule - ECA day / time schedule + activity descriptions (this document) 4. ECA Charter - full procedures and rules of the programme

All of 2-4 documents are located on TES website: https://taipeieuropeanschool.com/index.php?id=30

Thumbnail overview of the important items related to enrolment: The ECA enrolment is via a “preference ranking system” whereby parents will have an 8-day window to input their child’s ECA preferences. The preference ranking system is designed so that parents have more time to discuss with their children what ECAs they like best and then rank them in their preferred order, with the goal that children will be able to participate in a number of ECAs they will enjoy.

The AOS payment system has been integrated into the TESmile system, allowing payment to be made automatically from your family AOS accounts. Please make sure you have put sufficient monies in your AOS account before you choose the ECAs on TESmile.

EPC ECA Enrolment schedule:

If you have any questions about ECAs, please contact the ECA department, located next to the uniform shop, behind reception at EPC. Thank you!

Ms. Joyce Chen, EPC ECA Supervisor (02)8145-9007 ext. 1820, [email protected] Ms. Tracy Tsao, EPC ECA Assistant Secretary (02)8145-9007 ext. 1801, [email protected]

6a. Martial Arts: Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

ECA Description Tuition Special notes

Taekwondo- Beginner 1: Yr 1 - 3 / GS - CE1 / Flex Ø - KL2

The study of Taekwondo can get your child in great physical shape and teach the needed skills to enable children to defend themselves. But it also offers much more… it can help the student who needs to improve focus and self-control. In this class, students begin by practicing basic patterns and forms, board breaking, kicking and blocking. These fundamental skills increase your child's physical coordination, flexibility, balance, and mental acumen. Discipline and respect for martial arts are also emphasized.

Thursday (3.15-4.10pm) NT$ 4,290 (13 weeks)

Boys and Girls are welcome! Dress code: All students are expected to wear a Taekwondo uniform. A set of uniform can be bought through the instructor and costs NT$1,200 (for 2 uniforms - winter and summer-). Students can get their winter uniform within 2 weeks after Taekwondo class starts; summer uniform will be available later. Belt exam: Students who mastered the requirements (skills but also discipline and respect) for next belt level will be invited to attend the exam by their instructor Ms Hu and will do their promotions in class. The fee for testing and belt is not include in the activity fee and will be notified to you before the exam.

Taekwondo- Beginner 2: Yr 2 - 4 / CP - CE2 / KL1 - KL3

Monday (3.15-4.10pm) NT$ 4,620 (14 weeks)

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Yr 1 - 3 / GS - CE1 / Flex Ø - KL2

Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting (there is no striking). 100% of all altercations start standing but 99% of them end up on the ground. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger, heavier assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then neutralizing the opponent. The BJJ infants program involves a lot of full body physical movement not found in other martial arts, crawling, rolling, bending, running, etc. Through games and lots of laughter, kids learn how to strengthen and utilize their body for future self defense needs.

Monday (3.15-4.10pm) NT$ 4,620 (14 weeks)

Boys and girls are welcome! We do not have regular testing or grading for promotions. Promotions are based on key importance such as attendance, attitude, integrity, technique utilization, competition, and heart. Dress code: Students have to wear a BJJ kimono or gi (similar to a Judo gi) and a white belt to begin. The BJJ is specifically designed and manufactured for kids. It is of 100% pre-shrunk cotton made to last for years. It has reinforcements around areas that other Gis may easily rip. The uniform can be bought through the instructor, Coach Jean-Pierre Bidegain. The cost of the BJJ Gi is NT$ 2000.

World Scholar’s Cup Team Sem 2: Yr 5 - 6 / CM1 - CM2 / KL4

The World Scholar’s Cup is a Celebration of Learning!

It brings together many subjects, around an exciting theme. The World Scholar’s Cup ECA will focus on preparing teams of 3 (with a maximum of 5 teams) to participate in the regional (Taiwan) and then, hopefully later on in the Global Round. This year the Global Round is in Beijing. Last year it was in Kuala Lumpur. We’ll research, discuss and debate issues related to next year’s theme. This year’s theme is A World on the Margins.

How it works: The World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) is an international initiative. Every year, WSC releases its theme. Each theme is explored through various learning areas. In 2019, for example, the theme explored the following subject areas: • Special Area – Unsolved Mysteries • Science – Enabling Technologies • History – Neglected Histories • Literature - Voices from the Margins • Art & Music – Louder than Words • Social Studies – On The Edge if society

WSC provides guideline material for exploring these learning areas in order to bring the theme alive. Teams of 3 explore these materials and then prepare to participate in a Regional (Taiwan) round against other schools in Taiwan. This is usually held in Kaohsiung in March every year. Most international schools in Taiwan participate in this. Participation centres around four team events: Team Debate; Scholar’s Bowl; Collaborative Writing and

Scholar’s Challenge.

Depending on our success, we may then be invited to a Global Round in the South East Asia area, usually taking place from around mid June to 1st July, for 5 days.

Thursday (3.10-4.10pm) NT$900 /sem

All those wanting to participate in the ECA are drawn from Year 5 and 6 children. They must have an acceptable level of English and be confident and articulate enough to publically persuade. They will be selected in consultation with their class teacher. The cost of travelling to and participating in the Regional and Global Rounds will be borne by participating children. (TBC in Semester 2) There is a SENIOR and a JUNIOR division. The junior division includes students up to 14 years old; though there is no bottom cut-off; most participants are at least 10.
