Entries and Trainings
Students need to sign up to be considered for team selections on a Compass post via the Insights tab. This gives us an indication whether we have the interested numbers to enter a team. If students fail to sign up then we have to assume that there is little interest and that team will not be entered.
Trainings will most likely occur on Mondays, Thursdays or Fridays afterschool 3.15pm-4.15pm.
At the moment Intermediate boys/girls and Yr 8 boys basketball are training. The term training calendar has been posted on Compass for all students and a weekly one is posted every Sunday/Monday.
Term 3 sports have a focus on intermediate, Year 7 and 8 levels.
