Secondary Co-Curricular

Welcome to the 2019 Blackfriars Co-Curricular Program! At Blackfriars, we offer a broad range of co-curricular activities that allow students to participate in a number of sporting teams, intellectual activities or creative pursuits. For more information about the Co-Curricular Program, please refer to the Secondary Co-Curricular Handbook http://www.bps.sa.edu.au/student-life/sport-information-venues.

Student Co-Curricular Nominations

Student Co-Curricular nominations were completed online using EDVAL Web Choice. Please ensure nominations have been completed so that teams can be entered into various sporting and intellectual competitions. If you have lost your web code, please contact mparrella@bps.sa.edu.au

As a reminder, there are some student expectations:

Participate in a minimum of one co-curricular activity each year
Honour their commitment for the duration of the Summer (Term 1 and 4) or Winter (Term 2 and 3) co-curricular activity.
That any student who plays for any sporting club, must also represent Blackfriars in that same sport when the school sport program is taking place.
Participating in an alternative co-curricular sport or activity does not take the place of club sport. Demonstrate good sportsmanship by being positive, supportive and treating all team mates and opponents with respect regardless of ability, gender, cultural background or religion.
Wear the correct uniform at all matches and training sessions
Organise transport to and from sporting venues
Inform the teacher or team coach if unavailable for a particular week in a timely manner
Attend weekly team meetings and training sessions

Term 1 Co-Curricular Sport

Term 1 Co-Curricular Sport and training commenced in Week 2. A summer sport training schedule is attached which outlines training days, times and locations. This has been emailed to your son and is also available on SEQTA. Fixtures are being finalised and will be made available on SEQTA once completed.

If the temperature for the forthcoming Saturday is forecast at 38C in the Friday’s Advertiser, all SAAS sport primary and secondary, with the possible exception of Water Polo, First XI Cricket and Drive Tennis will be cancelled. This includes any indoor Saturday sport. Training cancellations will be made on the day if the temperature is forecasted at 360C or above.

Coaching or Umpiring

Blackfriars is always looking for parents, family or friends to assist in the Co-Curricular Program. If you have expertise or knowledge of a particular co-curricular activity and would like to be involved through coaching or umpiring, please email mparrella@bps.sa.edu.au

Student Achievements

Blackfriars always aims to acknowledge the achievements of students on and off the sorting field. If your son has achieved at a high level in their chosen sport, please contact the Co-Curricular Coordinator so that it can be mentioned in the newsletter and other formats.
