My child has an LSE during the scholastic year. Can I still apply?

Skolasajf is an inclusive summer school. Foundation for Educational Services (FES) provides the service of a Child Support Worker (CSW) to assist children according to their individual needs. The provision of a Child Support Worker is determined by the Statementing Report number submitted at application stage, together with the presentation of the Statementing Report, the Individual Educational Programme (IEP), and the Psychological Report. Copies of these documents must be uploaded online as part of the application process. The allocation of Child Support Workers is at the discretion of FES, and each case will be considered on an individual basis.

How do I inform you that my child needs a CSW?

The Statementing Board Report Number needs to be written down on the application form. Failure to do so may result in the child not being allocated a CSW and/ or termination of service. All the necessary documents will need to be submitted on the application online and be available before the start of the service.

When and how shall I submit the requested documents?

All documents listed on the registration form must be submitted online in order to use the service. Failure to submit such documentation may result in the child not being accepted for Skolasajf.

How will centres communicate important information to parents?
Communication is usually done via email, telephone calls, SMS, or messaging platforms used by the centre. Parents should ensure their contact details are kept up to date.

When are parents’ meetings held?

Every centre holds various parents’ meetings according to the centre’s capacity. Dates of meetings will be communicated by the centre coordinator via email/sms. Parents’ meetings are held either via an online platform such as Teams or in the school hall. Parents are encouraged to attend such meetings.

Do I have to provide any items for my child?

FES provides the vast majority of resources needed to carry out the activities at the centres. However, we encourage children to bring their own pencil case and colours (ie the ones they use at school). At the beginning of Skolasajf, the centres also issue a list that includes (but not limited to) a kitchen roll, a packet of wipes, tissues, and a large bottle of water and recyclable items to reuse in the activities.

What is the dress code for Skolasajf?

Children are to wear light casual clothes, and closed shoes such as a running shoes or sandals fastened with a heel strap, which do not have slippery soles and which do not slip out of a child`s feet, for safety purposes.

What is the fee for Skolasajf?

The fee for SkolaSajf is €25 euros and it covers the core hours from 08:30hrs till 12:30hrs.

Is the fee refundable?

Yes, there is a cooling off period till 30th June, 2026. No refunds will be affected after this date.

What is the registration fee if children attend Skola Sajf 2026 only for a few weeks?

The fee remains €25 regardless of how many days or weeks the child attends. This fee is non-refundable after the cooling-off period.

Can my child attend only certain days of the week?
Yes, attendance can be flexible. However, the registration fee remains applicable regardless of the number of days attended.

Can I just use the extended hours during Skola Sajf?

Indeed you can use the extended hours only as long as you have the Skola Sajf 2026 active application. You would need to inform the Centre coordinator with this.

Are there any other fees?

FES offers the service of extended hours to working parents in selected centres only. These extended hours are between 07:00hrs – 08:30hrs and 12:30hrs – 17:30hrs. The fee is of €0.20 for every 15 minutes. There is also a minimum hours charge for the extended hours. Children are required to attend a minimum of 2.5 hours per week. If this minimum attendance is not met, the difference will be deducted from the profile on a weekly basis. There may also be non–compulsory charges related to transport and entrance fees for outings, and other small activities within the centre, such as cooking activities and donations during fund raising activities.

Can I apply in two centres?

Children cannot be registered in more than one centre. However, parents can ask for a transfer. It is at the discretion of FES whether such transfer can be affected or not. We recommend that children are enrolled in one centre since we believe that children benefit more if a good relationship with the staff and other children in their centre is established for the whole eight weeks of the Skolasajf programme.

Can my children/child attend/s Skolasajf in another locality from where I live?

Yes, you can register your children/child for Skolasajf in another locality different from where you live.

How are children grouped?

Most of the time, children are grouped according to the date of birth. Children might be grouped up to a maximum of two (2) years age gap per class especially in small centres.

What activities will my child/ren be doing?

Children attending the Skolasajf programme engage in a structured programme of activities that range from arts and crafts, games and sports, amateur dramatics, storytelling and singing, and cookery. Such activities are based on the current Skolasajf theme. There are also several educational activities, organised in collaboration with a number of partners, which can take place within the centre or outside of the centre. Each activity is tailored according to the age group of the children.

What is the theme for Skolasajf 2026?

The theme for Skolasajf 2026 is ‘Reach for the Stars’.

Can the remaining balance of payment made during Klabb 3-16 in winter be carried forward to Skolasajf?

The remaining balance cannot be used to pay for the registration fee of Skolasajf. However, it can be used during the extra hours of service in the morning/afternoon.

Does Skolasajf organise transport?

FES organises transport through MEYR for children attending Resource Centres and Mainstream Centres which do not reach the required quota:
Students attending Resource Centres start at 8.00am till 3.00pm including transport.
In case of Mainstream Centres which do not reach the required quota, FES retains the right not to open the centre and amalgamate it to another nearby centre. Should the parents require the service, transport is organised from the closed centres to the nearby centre, as communicated by FES. Transport leaves the closed centre at 8:15am and students arrive back at the closed centre by 12:45pm. No other stops are available.

When will I know which centres will not open for Skolasajf?

The FES decides which centres will not open for Skolasajf based on the number of registrations received for each centre. Parents will be notified of such decision after the closing date of the registrations.

Will Skolasajf have staggered times for pick-ups?

Staggered times for pick-ups have been introduced to reduce the number of distractions in the classrooms and will be in place during the afternoon extended hours. Children can be picked up at any time between 12:30 till 13:00. Following 13:00, children can be picked up at 30 minutes intervals till 17:00. Between 17:00 and 17:30 children can be picked up at any time.

Can I pick–up my child at any time between 8.30 till 12.30?

Ideally, children attend the full core booked hours. However, if there is a valid reason for such request, the parent should always inform the coordinator in advance.

What can I do if I need to pick-up my child before the official staggered times?

Since we do understand that parents and children may have other commitments after work/SkolaSajf, we are giving a concession for children to wait for their parents’ downstairs. However, it is the parents` responsibility to inform the coordinator with such requests so that they can gather the concerned child from his/her classroom closer to the next staggered time group and the child will wait for his/her parents until their arrival. Therefore, if for example, your child is booked till 15:30 and you need to pick him/her up at 15:15, he/she will be called with the 15:00 group and wait 15 minutes until your arrival. This way, you will be able to take your child
immediately as soon as you arrive for him/her. All children at the reception area will still be under supervision.

Do I need to have an application for Klabb 316 (2025–2026) in order to apply for the September Bridge Holidays?
No. This year, an application for Klabb 316 is not required in order to apply for the September Bridge Holidays. Parents may apply for the September Bridge Holidays as long as they have an accepted application for Skolasajf 2026.

Which pick-up cards should I use during the September Bridge Holidays?
During the September Bridge Holidays, parents are required to use the Skolasajf pick-up cards when collecting their children.

Can I use the pick-up cards that I used during Klabb 316?
No. New pick-up cards will be issued specifically for Skolasajf 2026 and must be used during the September Bridge Holidays.

How do I change the booked hours on my application?

Parents must log in to their profile at https://services.fes.gov.mt/MyProfile/Login. They should navigate to “Active Applications” and select “Update Hours.” This must be completed before the start of the week. Additionally, parents must send an email to the Centre Coordinator to inform them that the hours have been updated.

How do I top-up my profile balance?

To top-up, you must log in to your profile: https://services.fes.gov.mt/MyProfile/Login.
and go to the “Top up/Balance” tab. You can purchase a package of hours or euros based on your weekly extra usage. Ensure your balance remains positive to avoid any disruptions.

Is there a Breakfast Club for Skolasajf?

During Skolasajf, we offer extra hours in the morning, starting at 7:00. These are not the same as the Breakfast Club but provide an additional hour for working parents who need to drop off their children before 8:30 due to work commitments. Please note that no food (breakfast) is provided during this hour, so parents must provide any necessary breakfast. Parents will need to pay for this service in the same way as the afternoon extra hours, via top-ups.

I am a Scheme 9 beneficiary; can I still apply for Skolasajf?

The Skolasajf application will be available for a specific period for parents/guardians benefiting from Scheme 9. The official dates will be announced later. To ensure clarity, the application title will include “Scheme 9”.

What should I do if I need to cancel my Skolasajf application?

If a parent wishes to cancel their child’s Skolasajf application, they must email the Skolasajf Centre Coordinator and the FES Head Office at [email protected], ensuring the other parent is copied.

What do I have to do in case my child is sick? Do I need to provide a sick certificate?

Kinder students up to 5yrs will be asked to bring a medical certificate if they have a contagious illness. At primary level, students will be asked to bring a certificate on the 3rd day of sickness. A medical certificate is requested to all students only if they do not advise the centre coordinator one day in advance as per terms and conditions about their absence due to sickness.

What if my child attends catch up classes?

You may still register your child for Skola Sajf. On days when your child has catch-up classes, they may join Skola Sajf after their session ends. On other days, your child may attend Skola Sajf during the normal hours. It is important that both the catch-up classes coordinator and the Skola Sajf centre coordinator are informed of this arrangement in advance.

Skolasajf jorganizza trasport?
Il-FES torganizza trasport permezz ta’ MEYR għat-tfal li jattendu Resource Centres u Mainstream Centres li ma jilħqux il-kwota meħtieġa.
L-istudenti li jattendu Resource Centres jibdew fit-08:00 u jispiċċaw fit-15:00 inkluż it-trasport.
Fil-każ ta’ Mainstream Centres li ma jilħqux il-kwota meħtieġa, il-FES iżżomm id-dritt li ma tiftaħx iċ-ċentru u tgħaqqdu ma’ ċentru ieħor qrib. Jekk il-ġenituri jkollhom bżonn is-servizz, jiġi organizzat trasport miċ-ċentru magħluq lejn iċ-ċentru l-ieħor, kif ikkomunikat mill-FES. It-trasport jitlaq miċ-ċentru magħluq fit-08:15 u l-istudenti jaslu lura fiċ-ċentru magħluq sat-12:45. Ma jkunx hemm waqfiet oħra.

Meta nkun naf liema ċentri mhux se jiftħu għal Skolasajf?
Il-FES tiddeċiedi liema ċentri ma jiftħux skont in-numru ta’ reġistrazzjonijiet riċevuti għal kull ċentru. Il-ġenituri jiġu infurmati wara li tagħlaq ir-reġistrazzjoni.

Skolasajf se jkollu ħinijiet differenti għall-ġbir tat-tfal?
Ġew introdotti ħinijiet differenti għall-ġbir biex jitnaqqas id-distrazzjonijiet fil-klassijiet u dawn japplikaw waqt il-ħinijiet estiżi ta’ wara nofsinhar. It-tfal jistgħu jinġabru fi kwalunkwe ħin bejn 12:30 u 13:00. Wara s-13:00, jistgħu jinġabru kull 30 minuta sal-17:00. Bejn is-17:00 u s-17:30 jistgħu jinġabru fi kwalunkwe ħin.

Nista’ niġbor lit-tifel/tifla tiegħi fi kwalunkwe ħin bejn 08:30 u 12:30?
Idealment, it-tfal jattendu l-ħinijiet ewlenin kollha bbukkjati. Madankollu, jekk hemm raġuni valida, il-ġenitur għandu jinforma lill-koordinatur minn qabel.

X’nista’ nagħmel jekk irrid niġbor lit-tifel/tifla tiegħi qabel il-ħinijiet uffiċjali?
Peress li nifhmu li l-ġenituri u t-tfal jista’ jkollhom impenji oħra wara x-xogħol/SkolaSajf, qed nagħtu konċessjoni biex it-tfal jistennew lill-ġenituri tagħhom isfel. Madankollu, hija r-responsabbiltà tal-ġenituri li jinfurmaw lill-koordinatur biex it-tifel/tifla jinġabar mill-klassi tiegħu/ tagħha qrib il-ħin li jmiss tal-grupp u jistenna sakemm jaslu l-ġenituri. Pereżempju, jekk it-tifel/tifla huwa bbukkjat sal-15:30 u trid tiġbru fil-15:15, jiġi msejjaħ mal-grupp tal-15:00 u jistenna 15-il minuta. B’dan il-mod, tista’ tieħdu miegħek immedjatament meta tasal. It-tfal kollha fiż-żona tar-reception jibqgħu taħt superviżjoni.

Għandi bżonn applikazzjoni għal Klabb 3-16 biex napplika għal September Bridge Holidays?
Le. Din is-sena mhijiex meħtieġa. Il-ġenituri jistgħu japplikaw jekk għandhom applikazzjoni aċċettata għal Skolasajf 2026.

Matul il-‘September Bridge Holidays’, il-ġenituri huma obbligati jużaw il-karti tal-ġbir ta’ Skolasajf meta jiġu jiġbru lit-tfal tagħhom.

Nista’ nuża l-karti tal-pick-up li użajt waqt Klabb 316?
Le. Se jinħarġu karti ġodda tal-pick-up speċifikament għal Skolasajf 2026 u dawn iridu jintużaw waqt il-Bridge Holidays ta’ Settembru.

Kif nibdel is-sigħat ibbukkjati fl-applikazzjoni tiegħi?
