Letter re Winter Sport

The start of Term 2 signals the beginning of the Winter Sport programme. This will take place on a Tuesday afternoon with the first session being on Tuesday 3 May. The children have four choices for Tuesday sport – netball, hockey, rugby or soccer. All sports are available to both boys and girls. Once your child has made his or her sport choice the/she will remain with that sport for the season. Specific safety requirements: All sports short fingernails, no earrings or jewellery (including watches), long hair must be tied back. Netball sport shoes Rugby mouthguard, barefeet Soccer sport shoes, shin pads, long socks – (once teams are selected some children will require boots) Hockey mouthguard, sport shoes, shin pads, long socks Throughout the season we alternate between practice/skills sessions amongst ourselves and games against other schools in the zone. When playing other schools, notification is given the week prior via the School Sport Blog and children playing away from school will travel by bus. Uniforms are provided for those playing matches. In order to cover the cost of the buses used during the season we ask that each child please pay $10. To make the experience of playing a winter sport more successful we would appreciate the assistance of parents or friends to improve the adult-pupil ratio, while teaching skills, umpiring and/or supervising. All children/parents must complete and return the following slip to school by Wednesday 13 April please.
