Yr 5-6 Summer Hagley Sport

Registrations via the Hero App went out on Tuesday 4th February at 9am.

Options for 2025 are:- Touch / Slow Pitch / Futsal / Ultimate Frisbee / Volleyball & Cricket. 

#NB.   Mr Harper will contact students should their first option not be available, so they can choose an alternative. 

Parent volunteers will be needed to coach and manage teams and supervise students on the bus. 

All codes require a coach for the team(s) to be registered to play.  We need parents to volunteer so this valuable sports programme can continue in 2025.  If you can assist with coaching or supervision for Summer Hagley please email Mr Harper peter.harper@cotswold.school.nz and he will be in touch with you. 

In recent years we have struggled to secure sufficient parent transport for our Hagley Sport programmes so are now using buses for transport students to/from venues.  Bus transport is an additional cost to parents. We anticipate this will be approx. $50 per student, depending on the number of students participating and the number of buses required.

If you register your child for sport at Cotswold Mātāhae School please be aware that this is an Opt In Activity and once you register you have made a commitment to being part of a team and to your child arrives on time for practices and games, and agree to payment of the associated fees. Invoices will be issued via the Hero App once teams have been finalised.  Kindly arrange payment by your usual method, by the due date so your child can participate.
