St Albans School Sport Guidelines
St Albans
School Sport Guidelines
The following are guidelines for sport at our school. While we endeavor
to cater for as many children as possible, numbers are limited to the
availability of coaching from teachers and parents. Also, we are only allowed to
enter two teams in each sport - a directive that is from the Canterbury Primary
School Sports Board. The selection of
children in school representative teams is performance based.
Sport is an extra curricular activity
provided to our children by many enthusiastic teachers and parents and
selection of teams is always difficult so we ask you to respect our decisions.
There is a cost for most sports. This is for transport only (except for
basketball). We are getting a fantastic service from the sporting organisations
that run these events, which include coaching, organising draws, and generally
coordinating the entire event(s). Our school pays to join these organising
bodies and the children do get a great opportunity. The transport cost is kept
to a minimum. No pay unfortunately means no play. If you have difficulty paying
please apply in writing to the Principal's 'Acorn fund'.
In each term children may trial for any number of sports, however, if a
child is selected in more than one sport and the sports are played at the same
time, they will obviously have to make a commitment to one only.
Children who do not gain selection will be involved in organised sport
at school.
I have contacts with local clubs in our community so our students can further their sporting interest with Saturday sport. Information can be obtained from myself, Glen McKenzie (glen.mckenzie@stalbans.school.nz) or Shaye Textor sport@stalbans.school.nz
