Rowville District Winter Sports- Parent Helper

This year, our Year 5 and 6 students will be part of the Rowville District Winter Interschool Sports. Our Winter Sport competitions taking place on Friday 27th May and Friday 9th June, will consist of the following sports: AFL Football, Soccer, Netball, Fully Loaded Tee Ball and Jack Attack Lawn Bowls. 

The selection of teams has been drafted and announced to our students. Year 5 and Year 6 parents can view the teams and the sport their child will be competing in the soon-to-be-released Operoo permission form.

Parent Helpers 

Our school would like to offer the opportunity for parents to volunteer with coaching or supporting a team for the Winter Sports competition. Our students in their teams always appreciate the expertise provided by our coaching parent volunteers and our teams have been even more successful with their support.

We require the following volunteers to on both Friday 26th May and Friday 9th June:

Some knowledge of the rules of the sport would be beneficial but mainly a coaching role will involve instructing and encouraging the team while rotating the substitutions fairly. If you are able to support us in one of these volunteer roles, please select our interest in the Operoo permission form or email Mr Karl Camerino at karl.camerino@ssrowville.catholic.edu.au . 

If you know of someone who has expressed an interest in supporting us, please also email Karl Camerino of their intention to volunteer in one of the above roles. A reminder that all volunteers need to have their Working with Children Check and sign the school’s volunteer documents at the school office.
