SUMMER TERM AT HOME ECAs 2020
elcome to the catalogue for Bryanston’s Summer Term at Home ECAs. We hope you will welcome what is
on offer and join in the spirit of learning at home to beat the lockdown blues. This will be something fun
to get involved in, separate from your academic studies. Many of the activities on offer come under the
heading of LEARNING A NEW SKILL so maybe it’s time for you to try something that you wouldn’t normally do —
try something less obvious.
INSTRUCTIONS Most ECAs will be taking place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4.45–5.45pm, starting in week one.
Some will last for the whole term; others for half a term (and you will change to another).
Please discuss your choices with your tutor. If you have any problems or worries,
email Mr Elliot at gse@bryanston.co.uk
D, C, & B 1.

Look carefully through the whole catalogue. There is some good stuff at the end.
You are all required to do a minimum of one New Skill or ECA.
3. Fill in the form on Teams (in “Posts”) with your name and the titles of your activities.
4. You will need to give three choices.
5. Take your time and make sure you are interested in all three, because you cannot all get your first choice.
6. If you are doing Streetdance or Teechers (Tuesdays) we would love you to choose a Thursday ECA too.
7. Please check the time so you are not clashing with your music lessons.
8. You will then be allocated to your ECA and the member of staff will contact you.
9. If you want to do two ECAs, which is a good idea, then make it clear on the form.
A2 & A3 1.

You are strongly encouraged to join in the spirit of this programme.
There are many aspects of school life you are used to that aren’t happening, so please choose at least one ECA to try

3. You will have a form to fill in on Teams in “Posts”.
