CAS Fair

Today saw the return of KGV’s CAS Fair. The CAS fair is an opportunity to showcase the vast array of CAS activities on offer here at KGV and allow students from all years to plan their extra-curricular activity program and sign up for what they are interested in. Advertised at the CAS Fair was well over 150 different CAS activities including; sports, performing arts, student led activities, service opportunities, general CAS and again this year, a variety of external CAS providers.

The CAS Fair is a great start to the year clearly showcasing the diverse, rich CAS program on offer at KGV. After the CAS Fair, many more activities will come online so students and parents should pay careful attention to the bulletin and should be encouraged to find out what else is being offered or even better, plan and propose their own activity.

Following the CAS Fair, students must sign up to say they are interested in attending the activity through Lionel 2. Please note a change in procedure to previous years to create a fairer sign up process.

Students this year will have a window of two weeks to sign up for what they are interested in doing. At the end of the period, any oversubscribed activities will go through a random allocation. It is also very important that parents approve student’s participation in CAS activities, by responding to emails sent once a student has signed up through Lionel 2.

Sports Teams Trials:

  • Sign up opens Friday 16th August at 4.30pm
  • Open for two weeks until Friday 30th August at 4.30pm
  • During this time, you can sign up, change your mind and withdraw and seek approval from parents
  • There is no limit to the number that can sign up for a trial
  • Messages will appear in the student bulletin and/or by email from the coaches to specify when trials will take place
  • YOU MUST have parental approval to attend your first trail.
  • Once the trial period is finished, coaches will communicate final squads and details about season dates and training sessions.

All other CAS activities

Please note that enrolment is not on a first come first served basis. All students registered will be placed on the waiting list until the end of the registration period. If the number of enrolment exceeds the maximum number of participants, names will be drawn randomly by Lionel to allocate students to the activity.

  • Sign up opens Friday 16th August at 4.30pm
  • Open for two weeks until Friday 30th August at 4.30pm
