PANTHER FAQ's

After 2 weeks no more changes are made. Withdrawing from a programme after 2 or more weeks will be reported on the CHQ programme and has an impact for future season selections.

No - Do not put preferences on the same day as Ukrainian school sessions. You will be withdrawn from the co-curricular programme.

The students who are waitlisted for an activity in a season are then given a higher preference for activity selection in the next season for the same activity / activities.

If you withdrew from a Season 1 activity then you will have a lower preference in the next season for that activity.

Yes correct. During season 1 parents needed to sign up their children in Grade 6. This is now changed for Season 2 and Season 3.

No - Registering an interest does not give automatic allocation - a random algorithm is used and in Season 2 those who were waitlisted for an activity in Season 1 will be given a higher preference for the same activity if available and selected.

Under the preference-based system, all parents (for primary) will indicate preferences for their child/rens Co-curricular Activities based on each time-slot. For grade 6 to grade 12 students make their own selections. The computer algorithm will begin by placing as many children as it can into their first preference activity.

• If an activity has more students with a first preference than its capacity, then the computer randomly chooses which students will be placed into the activity.

• Then, for each day/time slot, any activity which has spaces available, students, who made it their second choice are randomly placed until capacity is reached.

• This process is continued through 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. until all choices are considered for all activities for the student.

• For students who are not placed in their 1st activity choice, for the season, these students will earn higher priority for placement for the same activity next season.
