From the Senior Sports Master
Welcome back to the second half of the ISA winter season. Competition recommences this weekend. Training for all teams resumed this week. All boys should see training as an important part of their commitment to the college sports programs.
Please ensure your boys have the correct sports uniform and safety equipment as they continue their winter sport.
As we move through Term 3, registrations will open for our summer sports program. Details will appear in this section of the newsletter.
A reminder that all players, parents and coaches are expected to adhere to the ISA Code of Conduct (attached) in all their sporting endeavours.
On a final note, there are a number of social events being run by our winter sports clubs this term. Please do all you can to support them in building a vibrant college sports community.

I will be at Hyde Park from approximately 7:00 am to greet students and organise a mini warm up. I will be at the finish line at Bondi Beach from around 8:50 am - 9:30 am to greet finishers.
