How Signup works
This signup requires you to make choices and submit these choices to the school for your activities for this period. The school will then allocate activities based upon your selections and the group size.
There may be options for each day. Only select options for a day if you want to take part in an activity for that day.
Once you have selected your choices, please click REVIEW & CONFIRM to see an overview of your preferences before clicking the COMPLETE AND SEND ALL TO SCHOOL button.
After you have sent your choices to the school you will not be able to edit them.
Make choices
Select your preferences for each day. Click the day of the week you want to make choices for. Make your first choice your 'preference1', your second choice 'preference2' and so on. You may only select ONE 'preference1', 'preference2', 'preference3', etc for each day. The system will not let you select P1 twice on the same day. To change your P1 choice first untick the current P1 choice.
