1. Introduction from Director of Education Services Dear Parents,

We are nearing the end of our first ECA semester and we hope your children have enjoyed their activities so far. The ECA programme, Semester 2, starts in January following our Christmas break, so please check the Semester 2 calendar to see the schedule. Having run through the TESmile enrolment process this semester we trust all parents are familiar with the system. However, for new parents to TES and parents that like to remind themselves of how it works, there are a couple of ways to understand the process: 1. TESmile - easy to use enrolment interface 2. Demonstration Video - Choose your ECAs on TESmile - walk through enrolment steps (on your

TESmile page) 3. Annual ECA Schedule - ECA day / time schedule + activity descriptions (this document) 4. ECA Charter - full procedures and rules of the programme

All these information documents are located: https://taipeieuropeanschool.com/index.php?id=30

Thumbnail overview of the important items related to enrolment:

The ECA enrolment is via a “preference ranking system” whereby parents will have a 8 day window to input their child’s ECA preferences. The preference ranking system is designed so that parents have more time to discuss with their children what ECAs they like best and then rank them in their preferred order, with the goal that children will be able to participate in a number of ECAs they will enjoy. The AOS payment system has been integrated into the TESmile system, allowing payment to be made automatically from parent’s AOS accounts. When ECAs are chosen on TESmile, parents are authorizing the automatic payment to be made from their AOS account. The only thing parents will still need to do is make sure they have put sufficient monies in their Family AOS account. Enrolment schedule :

November 27th (Tue) 8:30am- December 4th (Tue) 11:59pm

TESmile - ECA preference selection submission (1st Round enrolment) (Please note you will only see the TESmile interface when it opens on 27th November)

December 5th (Wed)- 6th (Thu) ECA allocation processing. (by ECA department / computer selection) December 7th (Fri) 6:00pm ECA allocation complete, student personal ECA timetable viewable on

student’s TESmile accounts. December 10th(Mon) 8:30am- December 11th (Tue) 4:00pm

2nd Round enrolment - Manual system. (Please come to ECA office for the 1st come 1st serve enrolment of seats remaining following computer allocation process)

December 12th(Wed)- 13th(Thu) Manual registrations allocation process. (by ECA department) December 14th (Fri) 6:00pm All enrolment is completed for Semester 2, the updated student personal

ECA timetable viewable on student’s TESmile accounts. January 14th (Mon) ECAs start.

Best regards, Mr. Kerry Nockolds Director of Educational Services

6a. Martial Arts - Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

ECA Description Tuition Special notes

Taekwondo- Beginner 1: Yr 1 - 3 / GS - CE1 / Flex Ø - KL2

The study of Taekwondo can get your child in great physical shape and teach the needed skills to enable children to defend themselves. But it also offers much more… it can help the student who needs to improve focus and self-control. In this class, students begin by practicing basic patterns and forms, board breaking, kicking and blocking. These fundamental skills increase your child's physical coordination, flexibility, balance, and mental acumen. Discipline and respect for martial arts are also emphasized.

Thursday (3.15-4.10pm) NT$ 4,290 (13 weeks)

Boys and Girls are welcome! Dress code: All students are expected to wear a Taekwondo uniform. A set of uniform can be bought through the instructor and costs NT$1,200 (for 2 uniforms - winter and summer-). Students can get their winter uniform within 2 weeks after Taekwondo class starts; summer uniform will be available later. Belt exam: Students who mastered the requirements (skills but also discipline and respect) for next belt level will be invited to attend the exam by their instructor Ms Hu and will do their promotions in class. The fee for testing and belt is not include in the activity fee and will be notified to you before the exam.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Yr 1 - 3 / GS - CE1 / Flex Ø - KL2

Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting (there is no striking). 100% of all altercations start standing but 99% of them end up on the ground. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger, heavier assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then neutralizing the opponent. The BJJ infants program involves a lot of full body physical movement not found in other martial arts, crawling, rolling, bending, running, etc. Through games and lots of laughter, kids learn how to strengthen and utilize their body for future self defense needs.


Boys and girls are welcome! We do not have regular testing or grading for promotions. Promotions are based on key importance such as attendance, attitude, integrity, technique utilization, competition, and heart. Dress code: Students have to wear a BJJ kimono or gi (similar to a Judo gi) and a white belt to begin. The BJJ is specifically designed and manufactured for kids. It is of 100% pre-shrunk cotton made to last for years. It has reinforcements around areas that other Gis may easily rip. The uniform can be bought through the instructor, Coach Jean-Pierre Bidegain. The cost of the BJJ Gi is NT$ 2000. .
