Extracurricular Sporting – Term 2

Club Netball – Undefeated Streak continues!

On Tuesday night a depleted St Mary’s team took to the court with a fresh replacement player. The team struggled to find their connections in the first quarter and were down by two. 

Some encouragement and a louder war cry lifted the team to a 2-goal lead at half-time. Feeling more comfortable with their positions, the team extended their lead to five at the third quarter.  A commanding defensive display and crack shooting saw the team keep their opponents to zero goals and end the game with a 23 to 12 win. 

The team played an awesome game and showed why they are at the top of the division. 

We have a break over the school holidays and will return for a 6.30pm game, Week 1, Term 3.

TCS & Peninsula Trials

Parents/ carers will need to contact the College regarding any school absence due to students attending Peninsula trials which occur during school hours. TCS trials occur afterschool.  

Students are reminded to collect signed Peninsula paperwork from the HPE staffroom to take to their TCS trials. Students will NOT be allowed to trial if they do not have this paperwork. 

Students and their families are responsible for: 

Logging onto the Student Portal to obtain: 

• TCS Calendar (this tells you when your trial is on)
• Peninsula paperwork (complete, hand in & collect to take to trial)
• Notice of Trial (This document is uploaded to TCS Sport app within two weeks of trial) 
• Follow the timelines outlined in the Peninsula Paperwork Process – See below: 

Instructions on how to obtain access through the Student Portal have been provided each week at the end of this Bulletin – See below:  

1. Go to the TCS Sport tile in the Student Portal
    
2. In the ‘Key Paperwork’ section print the ‘Notice of Trial’ information for your sport trial. These will be uploaded as soon as we receive them. If it is not there for your trial, check again soon or see the sport staff in the HOB staffroom.
    
3. Complete the ‘Peninsula Student Permission Details Booklet’ immediately and bring it to the HPE staffroom for signing – paperwork needs to be submitted AT LEAST one week prior to the trial date. If it comes in later than this, we cannot guarantee that students will get it back in time for the trial which can result in them not being allowed to participate.

Students then need to report back to the HPE staffroom within 2 days to collect their signed paperwork and take the Peninsula Student Details Booklet with them to the trial. 

Sport Coordinator Availability to support students in TCS & Peninsula Paperwork processes: 

8:10am – 8:25am: Tuesday – Friday
