Soccer Agreement

⚽ Soccer Agreement Update – Errol Street 

Each year, students who choose to play soccer at recess and lunch participate in our Soccer Agreement, where they revisit the expectations for safe, respectful and inclusive game play and identify strategies to help regulate their emotions if they become frustrated during a game.

As part of our ongoing review of playground practices, we have made an important update to how soccer games are organised at the Errol Street Campus.

What's changing?

Following feedback from students and staff, each year level will now play soccer only with students from their own cohort in designated play spaces.

This change is designed to:

• provide age appropriate games and expectations
• reduce congestion and playground conflict
• increase opportunities for participation
• support positive relationships and enjoyable game play for all students.

Designated Soccer Areas

• 🟨 Year 3: Soccer pitch on Grassketball court
• 🟪 Year 4: Soccer pitch on Grassketball court
• 🟥 Year 5: Oval Soccer Space
• 🟦 Year 6: Oval Soccer Space

(Please refer to the campus map below.)

Supporting Our Students

Each year level has a dedicated teacher who supports the Soccer Agreement, monitors 

fair play and works with students to maintain a positive sporting environment.

Soccer is one of the most popular activities at recess and lunch, and these refinements will help ensure it remains a safe, inclusive and enjoyable experience for all students. Thank you for supporting us in encouraging respectful play, good sportsmanship and positive relationships on the playground.

Families can support this initiative by reinforcing the importance of respectful play, being a good sport and emotional regulation. Encouraging children to play fairly, respect referee decisions and use the calming strategies they have practised at school helps ensure soccer remains a fun and positive experience for everyone.
