Sport & PE guidelines

Some important reminders for all 7-10 students and families;

SUNSMART AND HYDRATION 

We encourage all Phys Ed and Sport students to be actively sun smart. Students should get in the habit of bringing water bottles and wearing hats, sunglasses and sunscreen, especially during these summer months.

UNIFORM

All students are required to be in full Phys Ed uniform for ALL Phys Ed and Sport lessons. The uniform shop can supply the polo top and shorts or track pants. Students MUST also were lace up runners with the Phys Ed uniform. Students are provided time to change at the beginning and end of each PE/Sport class and are expected to be in full school uniform for other classes on that day. Each student will bring home a copy of our “Learning Agreement” over the next couple of weeks outlining the Uniform policy in more detail.

LABELLING CLOTHING

As it is a requirement to be changed for every Phys Ed and Sport class it is very important that all students mark their names on all articles of their Phys Ed and School uniforms. Our change rooms are used by a number of classes throughout the day, students often get their belongings ‘mixed up’ with others.

VALUABLES

All year 7-10 students will have their own locker all valuables are to be left in these during Phys ed and sport classes. Students DO NOT leave valuables in the bags in the change rooms, leave them locked securely in their locker. The school is not responsible for any valuables that go missing from the change rooms.
