August 2010 

Dear students, parents and staff of the International School Basel, 

Welcome to the ECP Autumn/Fall 2010 programme! And welcome to all new and returning families! 

We hope that you will enjoy reading through the new autumn 2010 ECP programme and discovering all the activities that 

have been put together for you this semester. In addition to our ‘regulars and favourites’ there are also many new and 

exciting classes, courses and workshops on offer. After-school activities and sports help our students to stay active, 

integrate with their peers and make new friends outside of the classroom. For parents we offer the opportunity to get 

together and socialise in relaxed and non-pressured settings. The ECP programme offers wonderful ways to get 

acquainted with the area and to meet new friends as well as providing the opportunity to try many different activities with 

a group of like-minded people. We are confident that there really is something for everybody, however, if you think our 

programme is missing just the course you were looking for, then do let us know – perhaps we can offer it in a subsequent 

programme or help with finding you a local club or team to play your favourite sport. Please take the time to read through 

the programme carefully – our schedule can and does change from term to term dependant on availability of teachers and 

coaches and to enable us to provide our students with as many innovative and varied opportunities as possible as well as 

to enhance integration of new ISB families into our community. If the activity that your child is interested in is not on 

offer this programme, please contact Seraina Schnider at the ECP office for details of opportunities outside of the ISB. 

Returning families will already be familiar with the ECP programme, know the registration procedure and are aware of how 

popular the programme is. New families are encouraged to read through the programme carefully in order to become 

acquainted with the courses on offer and to ensure understanding of how to apply. 

ALL FAMILIES ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO READ THROUGH THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THIS PAGE 

AND OVERLEAF IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH ECP RULES AND POLICES. Often the 

small print has the most important information! Hopefully all your questions will be answered and details 

clarified. 

NO CONFIRMATIONS WILL BE SENT OUT: You are automatically confirmed when you sign up unless you hear from us. We 

contact you only when a class is full, cancelled or if details change, otherwise no news is good news. Please turn up on 

the 1 st scheduled date in the programme. We will notify participants if there is a waiting list or if the class is cancelled. We 

will do our best to accommodate your wishes, but cannot always guarantee you get all the classes you select. Many courses 

require minimum numbers. When in doubt, give us a call. Please be advised that although we do try to accommodate as 

many students as possible, popular classes do fill up quickly and we are limited to the number of children who can participate 

in any given activity. Participation in a class/course last term does not guarantee a place in the same class this programme. 

You are kindly requested to only sign up your child for a class that you know they will be able to attend on a 

regular basis thereby avoiding empty spaces in an activity that could be filled by a child on the waiting list, 

thank you! Missing more than 2 sessions in a course without a valid reason (contact ECP) may result in your 

child losing their place. 

STUDENTS BEHAVIOUR: Please note that the same standards of behaviour that are expected from ISB students during 

the school day also apply to all ECP activities and workshops both on and offsite. It is important that your child understands 

they are expected to behave in a respectful manner towards teachers/coaches at all times and you are asked to make sure 

that they are aware of this. ECP reserves the right to withdraw a child from any activity if behavioural standards 

are not adhered to. Coaches/Teachers are aware of this policy. 

COURSE COSTS: As you will be responsible for payment, please show up for the courses and events that you 

register for! Please be aware that the cancellation policy will be in place for all classes offered by the ECP department 

(see overleaf for full details). 

Have a look at the new ECP Autumn 2010 programme and the large selection of sports classes, language courses, cooking, 

arts and crafts workshops etc on offer – you are sure to find something that you/your children will enjoy.

As of this Fall, ECP has both a new office and a new ECP Co-ordinator. Tracy Provenzano is leaving ISB to seek new 

challenges outside of the school, but would like to wish everyone farewell and say ‘thank you’ for the wonderful 

enthusiasm for the ECP programmes that she has received over the past two years. Seraina Schnider has come aboard 

as new ECP Co-ordinator and will work from the new ECP office located on the ISB Reinach campus in room A.10 on the 

1 st floor. Tel: 061 7153307 ecp@isbasel.ch.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURE 

An application form is included in this programme. Please 

submit one per family. See the A-Z listing for course 

numbers, costs and details. For information and 

registration of courses not offered by the ECP 

department, please contact the person listed directly. 

Registration for all ECP activities will be accepted from 

Monday September 6 2010 at 07:45 in the foyer of 

both the Aesch and Reinach campuses. 

Applications are numbered as they are turned in and 

processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each collection 

location will use separate numbers. Early applications 

cannot be accepted and will be returned. 

Applications for multiple families or groups of friends 

together will not be accepted. 

Please, no earlier than 7:45am! 

REMINDER- Mark your calendars! 

Not all classes/course start on the same date! 

Please check the start and end dates of the courses you are 

registering for and read the information pertaining to each 

class in the A-Z listing carefully, in order to avoid 

misunderstandings. Please note that there will be classes 

each week unless specifically stated in the schedule. 

On days there are no ECP classes, please pick up your 

children directly after school. 

Credits for Senior School Students: Please note that 

participation in an ECP class will only be noted on your 

report if you attended 80% of all scheduled classes. 

CANCELLATION POLICY & FEE 

Please note: This policy will be enforced. Please contact 

the ECP department should you wish to change or cancel a 

course. Requests to the teachers/coaches are not 

valid. Once you hand in your application you automatically 

agree to our policy. Courses can only take place if a 

minimum number of participants sign up. These numbers 

may vary from class to class, therefore we may in some 

instances need to cancel a class where numbers are not 

reached. Please select your courses carefully. If you (your 

child) decide after the very first class that a course is not 

suitable for you (him/her), then you must contact the ECP 

office immediately to cancel your registration. You will then 

incur a cancellation fee of CHF 50. After the first week 

you will be responsible for the full cost of the course. 

Adult Language classes and one-off events cannot be 

cancelled at all. 

We regret that missed sessions cannot be reimbursed 

except in the case of long-term illness or accident. Please 

send a written request to the ECP office. 

Important Note: One-off events cannot be cancelled 

at all. If you sign-up, you will be billed. In the event you 

cannot attend a class, then it is your responsibility to find a 

replacement. No-shows will be billed! Please understand 

that we too have to make advance commitments for our 

events. 

PAYMENT FOR ECP ACTIVITIES 

Families will generally receive one invoice per programme, 

for all registered ECP courses (Supervised Care and Private 

tuition may be invoiced individually at an earlier or later 

time). These will be mailed to you approx. 2 weeks after 

classes start and payment will be due 30 days after invoice 

date. Payment can be made through your bank, to our 

Coop account. Please ensure your invoice reference number 

is quoted at all times.

For the 1 st Lesson Only: 

Meeting place for those who do not know where to go for 

courses taking place onsite in Aesch starting the week 

September 20 will be in the cafeteria where ECP staff will be 

present. Reinach students should proceed directly to the 

assigned location or ask at reception if they are not sure of 

where to go. After the first class, the teachers will meet the 

students in the assigned gym or classroom. When in doubt, 

please inquire with the ECP staff or ask at reception. 

*JUNIOR SCHOOL SUPERVISION & COLLECTION: 

All PS and KG children will be dismissed from their 

classrooms when school lets out, prior to when ECP 

activities start. Parents must be present to collect their 

children and escort them to their scheduled ECP 

activity even if it starts right after school. 

For classes starting at 3:20 older students may be able to 

make their own way, but we ask that parents escort them at 

least the first few times. Please note that parents are 

responsible for supervising their own children before and 

after ECP classes. 

*IMPORTANT: No Junior School child can be left 

unsupervised after school without express written 

permission from the Junior School Principal. 

All parents are required to be present at pick-up time 

to collect their children. Coaches will dismiss children 

after class and are not in a position to hold children 

until a parent arrives or to match each child with a 

parent. Please be there to meet your child. 

SUPERVISED CARE AFTER SCHOOL 

For working parents of children KG-G3 we offer Supervised 

Care when school is in session from Mon-Fri until 4:15 (part 

session) or 5:15 the latest (full session). Please contact the 

ECP dept. for details or refer to the A-Z listing in the 

programme. Please note that 17:15 is the latest time 

that your child can be picked up. 

Certain school activities such as Parent/Teacher Conferences 

take priority over ECP events (including tutoring) throughout 

the calendar year. Occasionally certain ECP classes 

need to be cancelled accordingly. 

OFF-SITE LOCATIONS Please make your own way to 

classes which take place off-site. Maps can be found at the 

back of this programme. Children will not be escorted to 

and from these locations. Parents are responsible for 

drop-off and pick-up. The ECP office assumes no 

responsibility. Stop by the office if you need more details on 

how to get to your class/course location. 

INSURANCE Each participant is responsible for his/her own 

insurance. ISB is not liable for any injuries incurred while 

participating in ECP classes. Please ensure your health 

insurance policies cover sports injuries! 

QUALITY CONTROL We do our utmost to provide you with 

professional and reliable instruction. Should you at any time 

be dissatisfied with the quality of a course, please do not 

hesitate to discuss it with us. We do need your feedback to 

ensure high standards.

BASEL WALK – COLOUR AND ORNAMENT IN 

ARCHITECTURE 

Tour Guide: Dina Bonefacic-Mihaljek, Architect 

Although most buildings in Basel seem rather subdued in 

their outward appearance, colour and ornament do play 

an important role in local architecture. During this walk 

we take a careful look at the interiors of the Muenster 

and the Schluesselzunf as well as at the facades of 

historic and more modern buildings in order to answer 

questions about Basel’s traditional use of colour and the 

purpose and meaning of ornament as employed from 

medieval times up to the most recent days. 

Our tour includes 19 th c. buildings on Freie Strasse, the 

Romanesque and Gothic carvings of the Muenster as 

well as the once controversial N. Stoecklin mural on the 

nearby Mentelinhof. We look at house ornaments on 

Schluesselberg and have coffee by the historic tiled 

oven in Schlusselzunf. We explore artistic depictions on 

the Rathaus and inside the Archives before continuing 

to Les Trois Rois and the Totentanzplatz. On 

Spitalstrasse we look at Herzog & de Meuron’s Rossetti 

building and at the new Kinderspital. The tour ends at 

St. Johanns-Tor.

How to Talk so Parents will Listen! 

Facilitated by Kirstin Barton* 

Parents can be so difficult! 

Have you ever felt that no matter how hard you try you 

just aren’t being heard? 

Communicating can be difficult sometimes and we often 

feel that we can’t express ourselves as well as we want to 

and how we would like to. Sometimes it can feel as if 

we are just not listened to. 

This workshop helps you explore more about 

communication and gives you the chance to practice 

some new approaches in a safe, confidential and fun 

environment. Not only will it help you at home, but you 

can apply what you learn at school, in interviews and 

with friends too! 

A great workshop for teenagers who feel that their 

parents just don’t listen! 


How to Listen so Your Kids Will Talk! 

Facilitated by Kirstin Barton* 

This workshop will open your ears to the world of 

effective communication in a fun and practical session. 

While the focus is on practising active listening skills, 

you’ll also explore ways of developing short exchanges 

into helpful discussions and some of the do’s and don’ts 

of communication. 

*Kirstin Barton is an experienced coach and workshop 

leader working with individuals, groups and organisations 

in the Basel area. She has worked with adults and young 

people on a range of personal development topics – 

including interpersonal and communication skills.
