MINITAG
If any Kindergarten children are interested in playing in MiniTag in Term 4 please email Mrs Doyle adoyle@arm.catholic.edu.au by Friday 27th September, for further information and a permission note.
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.
