NETBALL
Hi Netball Families,
Registration has now closed for this season.
Thank you for registering your child! Hopefully, you found it much easier than the old system. I have been in contact with parents via email regarding paying for uniforms and registering children. Please do this ASAP as the netball uniforms have been ordered and the registration link closes on Wednesday 9/3/22.
TEAMS ARE NOW FULL except for our Year 6 and 5 teams. Unless we get more players (even from other schools) we will have to go with a Year 6, a Year 5/6 and a Year 5 team. I understand the girl's frustration, but numbers dictate the teams. A big thanks to the girls who organised themselves into these teams on Friday, ensuring that they had at least one friend with them.
You will have notes about your coaches and teams before the end of term. Please consider helping out in our netball club! Many hands make light work!
Emma Elliott
Secretary St Nicholas Netball Club.
PAPER FREE
As a school we are trying to reduce our carbon footprint and are going paperless for sports notes this year. All sporting events will be sent out via Compass and parents will notify of their child's interest via the Events link in Compass. There is no need to print off notes and send them in as their interest is automatically recorded. Their selection of events for the swimming and athletics carnivals are also done using Compass. When a registration fee is required for a Diocesan sport e.g. Winter trials, Compass Pay will be available for this. Please contact the office staff if you are having difficulties accessing Compass.
