Is there
a break during Santa Maria’s week?
Skolasajf will be open throughout Santa Maria week; however, service will not
be offered on the 15th August.
My child has an LSE during the scholastic year. Can I still apply?
Yes. Skolasajf is an inclusive summer school. FES provides the
service of a child support worker (CSW), who will assist to the child’s
individual needs. The service of a child support worker is against the
Statementing Report Number at application level and the presentation of the
Statementing Report, the Individual Educational Programme (IEP) and the
Psychological Report. A copy of such documents is to be handed to the centre
coordinator. The allocation of Child Support Workers (CSW) will be at the
discretion of FES. Every case will be taken into consideration individually.
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
presented to the Centre Coordinator at the start of service.
Is the fee refundable?
There is a cooling off period till 31st
May 2021. No refunds will be affected after 31st May.
Are there
any other fees?
If you
book your child/ren for extended hours of service. The service is offered to
working parents only, and the fee is of €0.80 to the hour.
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 the centre 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.
How are children grouped?
Children are grouped according to the date of birth. For smaller centres,
children are grouped up to a maximum of two (2) years per class.
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 Skolasjf theme. There are
also a number of educational talks, organised in collaboration with a number of
stakeholders. Each activity is tailored according to the age group of the
children.
What is
the theme for Skola Sajf 2121?
The theme
for Skolasajf 2021 is ‘An ‘I’ in every
Winner’.
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 afternoon. Balance needs to be
used within a year of payment.
Will
Skolasajf be following any measures related to COVID 19?
Skolasajf
will be following the guidelines according to the specific setup of the
Kindergarten and Primary school respectively and in line with other guidelines
as issued from time to time by the Public Health Authorities.
Does Skolasajf
organise transport?
The FES
organises transport through MFED for children attending Resource Centres. In
case of centres who do not reach the required quota, FES retains the right not
to open the centre. In such case, transport is also organised for parents who
opt to send their children to another centre.
When will
I know when FES decides 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.
