Winter Sport Update - Year 1-6

   /   
The Sports Office alongside our convenors is well underway in the organisation of our Winter Sports Programme for the Junior School. We have listened to your feedback and suggestions, which have been helpful for us to modify some of our programmes this season, especially around team organisation, manager’s roles and overseeing of coaching programmes.

There will be some changes in the structure of teams. If a year group has enough members to make two teams, these will be based on ability. Teams will be organised by senior adult coaches.

We will be holding Netball and Hockey meetings for parents over the up and coming weeks where more specific information will be shared with you. Our first confirmed meeting is for Hockey which will be held on Sunday 28 March at 10.45am in the staffroom close to the school turf. The Netball meeting will be confirmed at a later date.

Because your daughter has chosen to play for the school in competitions, she is able to represent St Margaret’s College in our school tournaments that the Year 5 & 6 teams enter later in the season.

Year 1 & 2 - Hockey and Netball skills sessions with modified games will be held during lunchtime in Terms 2 & 3.
