Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to get the information i.e. bus timetables emailed for me because we aren’t able to access Canvas coming from a private school?
Yes. If you require information that you are unable to view in the Canvas course, please contact the main office at Kings Meadows High School.
When do students find out what house groups they are in?
Students will find out what house group they are in within the first 3-4 weeks of school during HPE lessons. Students are usually assigned to houses randomly, with the aim of balancing the houses in order to increase competition. Sometimes the assignment is based on the social and emotional needs of the student and to ensure proper peer mentoring is enhanced with the right fit of students within a house. Traditionally, however, once a student has been assigned to a house, any younger siblings he or she has may automatically become members of that house when they arrive at the school.
Is there a chess club?
We have many extra-curricular activities. Most lunch times the library is open for students to play board games, including chess. If there is enough interest from students, there would be a possibility of forming a chess club.
When are we receiving information for enrichment courses?
Primary school teachers have the log in information for choosing enrichment courses. On the Canvas page, in ‘2021 Courses’ is all of the information needed for students and their families about enrichment courses. On this page there is a very clear video explaining the process of choosing courses.
