A.I.M.S Games

Covid Testing

• All students staying at the Marae will need to complete a Rapid Antigen Test and present a negative result 48 hours before travel.

• The school will provide the RATS.

• If a student presents with a positive test, they will need to stay behind and a refund will be given.

• If a child becomes ill during tournament week, they will be tested and if they present positive, whānau will need to collect them with the school helping with the cost of fuel. It may well be pick-up from the top of the Bombays.

• If we have multiple team members become ill and a team can no longer front a team, that team will need to return home.

• It is expected that the team manager will keep parents posted.

Medical and Media Waiver forms must be completed online.

All parents/caregivers please complete your child’s medical and media waiver forms online. The instructions should have been sent to you from your child’s team coach/manager.

Team Itineraries

This is the domain of the coach and manager. Each team has a coach and a manager. The manager needs to start a FB Group Messenger page/ WhatsApp/ or whatever social sharing site they want to use to communicate events coming up, sharing daily events/ daily itinerary, games played at tournament week, etc. Part of the manager’s role is to communicate with parents from their team. Please download the free NZ AIMS Games App from the App Store to stay connected to your child’s sport. The draws and results and highlights. It has it all!

Sunday 4th September

We leave from WIS on Sunday 4th September at 8 am. Please have your child here by 7.45 am. As a guide, your child will need up to $70.00 pocket money in a wallet as their team may be doing a few extra bits and pieces in the evening and for any snacks or souvenirs, they may fancy purchasing.

Home Baking will be gratefully received for bedtime Milos and for snacks throughout the tourney. All students need a cut lunch from home for Sunday’s lunch and a named water bottle or money to buy lunch.
