Very, very tentatively, the holiday training schedule here.
(There’s loads of trainings, you can’t get bored >D)


Also, a few things:

You’ve probably heard of the 80% attendance criteria before, haven’t you? Joce has been going through the attendance diligently and, da dum, there’s actually quite a few people who haven’t reached the target. Actually, quite a lot – if you want your exact figures you can ask Joce.

Anyhow, the club’s tightening up a little during the holidays. If your second cca or such clashes with taekwondo during term time, it’s understandable, but during the holidays there shouldn’t be such problems; or if there are, we’re giving the schedule early so you can arrange things to your liking.

By the end of the holiday trainings, Joce will be tabulating the final attendance for the entire year for submitting. If you don’t reach 80% attendance overall, no can do; the admin’s pressuring the teachers to keep the attendance level high.

I’m fairly certain that all of you still here (in the club, ++ reading the blog) still have interest in taekwondo and want to remain in, so please, please don’t let your attendance die. If you have issues with any of the above, speak to your section leaders about it, and we’ll see what compromises we can reach? We really don’t wish to throw people out; Joce will be tinkering such that all your trainings will be counted, even the optional ones, which will boost your attendance majorly so help her.

All the same, I guess we’re all responsible young adults at this point in time, please don’t come for training merely for attendance’s sake – come because you want to. If you don’t want to take taekwondo as an official cca but still want to come for trainings and such because well, you love this club :D:D, tell your section leader and we’ll find some way to work things out, okay?


Love,
Chris.


!! I realize that the um, details are missing, so: (this is the important bit)

1. For people with second ccas, once term starts, Wednesday trainings are compulsory. If there is clash on Fridays, tell your sl and you’ll be excused.
2. From now on, all absentees without valid reasons (second ccas, etc) will be taken as excused without leave until they give an mc/letter to their section leaders (with the maximum deadline being by the next week's trainings).
3. No more than 2 parents’ letters per person per term.
4. If you have less than 80% attendance by the end of holiday trainings, there’s a high likelihood that you’ll be out of the club. Don’t worry though, if you’re in danger you will know because we have awesome responsible section leaders who will hound your footsteps.
