Afterschool Classes

Dear Parents/Caregivers

Semester One enrolments will be open from midday WEDNESDAY 5 FEBRUARY – midday THURSDAY 13 FEBRUARY and will be ONLINE ONLY WITH KINDO.

Starting Monday 24 February our Semester One (Term 1 and Term 2) After School Classes will run for between 12-14 weeks. The classes available will be Table Tennis, Math, Chess, Japanese, Chinese, French, Writing Support, Public Speaking, English Language Skills, Science and Guitar. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK MORE THAN ONE CLASS PER DAY.

The Writing Support class is NOT an Extension Class. This class is for students who need support in their Writing Literacy. The English Language Skills class is NOT for ESOL, it is for students who wish to build confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing. Chess students need to know the basic rules of playing Chess.

It is important that you set up an account with myKindo as soon as possible if you do not already have one. It is also a good idea to credit your account with money before the enrolments open.

There will be NO REFUNDS if you “CHANGE YOUR MIND” or “DOUBLE BOOK” with other out of school events. Before you book a class, it is advisable to check the After School Class timetable to ensure you do not clash with any other activities you may have your child in after school.

How to Enrol: Go to www.bbi.school.nz Our Community/After School Classes and click on the link. If you already have a myKindo account, then you will be able to already log in and use that. Please ensure there is money in your account. This is the only way to pay for the classes. You will be able to log in, place your order and make the payment online with POLi, Internet Banking or your Credit/Debit card.

Please note: there will be no classes if there is a statutory weekend or school event i.e. 3-Way Conferences or Kings Birthday weekend etc. We will do our best to ensure there will be catch up classes, but this is not guaranteed.

Enrolments are first in first served. If your payment is accepted, then that is your confirmation of enrolment. EXCEPT FOR THE MATH AND GUITAR CLASSES. IF NECESSARY REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN FOR THESE CLASSES. STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE A LETTER CONFIRMING THEIR POSITION ONLY IN THE MATH AND GUITAR CLASSES. THE MATH CLASSES WILL BE STREAMED INTO ABILITY GROUPS WITH THE HIGHER ABILITY GROUPS CONCENTRATING ON DEVELOPING PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS, AND THE LOWER ABILITY GROUPS WILL FOCUS ON NZ CURRICULUM MATHS.

If you have any problems, please contact Kindo direct.

Kindo helpdesk is open 8am to 4pm weekdays.

Tutors

Our tutors are well qualified to meet your child’s needs. As professionals they take their role seriously and work to a high standard. All tutors have a police clearance.

Parents Role

It is vital that parents work in partnership with the school and the tutor. Encouragement at home to do follow up or practice activities as necessary. Attendance at lessons is also important.

Refund Policy

Please ensure you carefully pick which after school class/es you would like your child to take. If, for some reason a class is cancelled before the start date, we will notify you and a full refund will be given. A refund of half the fees will be considered if you withdraw no less than five (5) school days before a class starts. NO REFUNDS once the course is underway.
