TOUCH FOOTBALL

All teams are now well organised, playing and enjoying the sport. Thankyou all parents and older siblings, especially those of first time players, who are offering each week to run on the field with teams and  do the subbing on the sidelines. Your efforts are appreciated by both your children and myself.

CRICKET WITH THE SUPERSTARS

Hi I'm Logan and I was fortunate enough to be nominated a school cricket champion. This meant that I got to go and meet and have lunch with Peter Nevill and Emma Hughes from the Sydney Sixers cricket team. We got to discuss our cricket goals and I got their signatures. I really enjoyed the opportunity especially since the Sydney Sixers are my favourite team in the Big Bash League. I would like to thank the teachers that nominated me to have this experience.

SWIMMING REGISTRATION DAY

CODE OF CONDUCT

Those parents who have very kindly volunteered to coach a team are to be listened to and all instructions to be followed by players both at training and when competing. Should you have an issue with your child's coach please speak to them privately without your children being present. Show respect for your coaches and their decisions.

Parents should not interfere or enter the playing field during a game as the on field officials should be left to adjudicate. If parents have concerns they should approach the coach at a break and not the children. 

Should a player, coach or parent not respect this code of conduct while representing St Nicholas it may prevent their inclusion in teams in the future as this is not the image that we wish to portray in the wider community.
