BASKETBALL

The basketball season for children in Years 3-6 begins tonight Thursday 22 February. Singlets have been handed out to players. There are still some players who have not registered and they will NOT be able to take the court until this is done.

NETBALL

Dear Netball Families,

It is that time of year again! Please read the information attached to this post. I have labeled a paper copy for all of last year's players and they will be coming home today. There are blank copies for new players with each teacher. Please- only use the links in this post or the newsletter to register your child. These are exclusive St Nicholas links (except the Kindergarten SKILLS link). These links are live on 31/1/23 and close 1/3/23. Another little job is to check the fit of your St Nicholas Netball dress/uniform. We do not carry a lot of sizes in stock, so using the trying-on and ordering days are important! We can help you sell your old uniform in our second-hand uniform store.

Emma Elliott and Georgia Johnson will make themselves available in the Year 6 Learning Space (The Zone) at the times listed below in regards to trying on uniforms, ordering and payment of uniforms.

Thursday 23rd February 3:30pm-5pm

Saturday 25th February 9am-11am

Direct deposit is available for new uniforms ($45), cash must be used for second-hand uniforms- about $20/$25 per uniform.

Soft netball visors are available from the front office in two sizes- child and adult for $8.00 and $9.00 respectively.

Please email Emma Elliott (eelliott@arm.catholic.edu.au) if you cannot make these times. Please note that we need to order by the 1st March 2023 to get the uniforms made and sent back in time for the netball season.

Thanks for your support!
