NEWS FROM REP SPORT
With the rain slowing down and fields starting to dry out we are looking forward to Representative Sport returning and students getting off the school grounds to represent St John’s.
It seems that this would be an ideal time to remind parents, carers and students of the expectations and school policy around these events.
Representing the school is a privilege and carries with it high expectations in regard to behaviour and uniform. As such, students are expected to:
- Wear the correct sports to and from the event,
- Wear a full uniform to and from the event. This applies to seniors who may not have a sports uniform or students where there is a concern with their uniform (dirty, wet or missing)
- If students choose to arrive at the school with an incorrect uniform, consequences will be issued, this could include removal from the team and or playground withdrawals. Each student acknowledges this when they nominate for a team and accept a position.
The SJE excursion policy is clear about travel to and from events; All students are to meet at school and travel to the excursion/event with their teachers and their peers. Due to strict start times of various events that are beyond SJE control, there will be no exceptions to this procedure and we thank parents for their ongoing support of this policy. Once the event has been completed, students may be collected from the event location if they have applied for permission in writing before the day of the excursion. In addition to this, if a student wishes to go home with another family, they are to follow the same process and issue the teacher in charge or the representative sport Coordinator with a note prior to the day of the event. Please note, calling parents on the day for verbal permission to leave will not be occurring.
The SJE policy regarding refund’s states “no money collected will be refunded as costs still need to be covered. Illness is unfortunate but no refunds can be made”. The only exception to this would be if the event is cancelled.
Upcoming events for Term 2 include:
- Diocesan Cross Country,
- Open Hockey,
- Open Volleyball and
- Football knockouts.
Thankyou for your support with the smooth running of Representative Sport at St John’s.
