John XXIII Netball Club

There are only two games left of the regular season.

Weather

We are in for some wet weather this weekend. Netball is a winter sport and we play in the rain. Games are only cancelled for lightning and hail. Pack your brolly and your patience. 

Game Highlights

We had 14 wins and one draw last Saturday.

Primary School

• The Years 2 to 4 teams continue to brave the chilly Friday night games they are all improving their skills and making valuable friendships along the way.
• Year 5 team Yellow and Year 5 Indigo both won their games by large margins.
• Year 6 Gold won their game against Guildford Grammar 47 - 15
• There are no finals in primary school. It’s a race for the minor premiership.

Secondary School Winners

• Congratulations to Years 11/12 team Crystal for having their first win of the season. We knew you could do it.
• Year 7 Onyx had a hard-fought draw against rivals Floreat Force. 

Alumni

• Alumni 1, 2 & 4 all had convincing wins over their opponents.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting will take place on Monday,16 September from 6:30pm to 7:30pm at the Circle of Friends Cafe at the College. All parents are invited to attend.

If you would like to raise any issues please email the Club by Monday, 9 September 2024.

Positions Vacant

The Club cannot function without the volunteers on our Committee. We are very fortunate to have an amazing group of parents who have been long-standing volunteers over the last few years, but happily, children graduate, and sadly, families move on. 

We are seeking parents to fill the following volunteer roles:

• Secretary
• Equipment Officer
• Years 7 – 9 Parent Representative
• Years 2 – 6 Parent Representative

The Committee meets eight times per year in a mixture of in-person and Zoom meetings.

If you would like more information on what the role entails, please email me at johnxxiiicnc@gmail.com.

Spring Netball

Information for the Spring season will be available from PNA via the PNA Post newsletter.

John XXIII Netball Club do not organise spring teams. Teams can be organised by parents.

Please note that players are still registered to John XXIII Netball Club, so the code of conduct and behaviour expectations for the Spring season are the same as the winter season.

Netball Hoodies

The first set of new optional netball hoodies are available for collection at the Uniform Shop. If you have not yet ordered your hoodie, the sizes run small, so please come and try on sample sizes available in the Uniform Shop. Orders and payment can be made online through this link Netball Hoodie Order. Orders will take approximately three weeks to arrive in the Uniform Shop, and customers will be notified when they are ready for collection.

Good luck to all teams this week.
