These are the dates for the following teams training sessions:

Parent Helpers 

We still need a few more parents to support our teams on both days of games. Our students in their teams always appreciate the expertise provided by our coaching parent volunteers and our teams have been even more successful with their support. In addition, parent support provides teachers with a stronger focus on supervising the students at each event.

We require the following parent volunteers to on BOTH or EITHER Tuesday 3rd June and Friday 20th June. 

Without parent volunteers, there may be the possibility a team may not be able to compete.

Some knowledge of the rules of the sport would be beneficial but not required. Mainly a coaching role will involve instructing and encouraging the team while rotating the substitutions fairly. If you are able to support us in one of these volunteer roles, please select our interest in the Operoo permission form or email Mr Karl Camerino at karl.camerino@ssrowville.catholic.edu.au

If you know of someone who has expressed an interest in supporting us, please also email Karl Camerino of their intention to volunteer in one of the above roles. A reminder that all volunteers need to have their Working with Children Check and sign the school’s volunteer documents at the school office.
