All Year 5 and 6 students will be representing St Dominic’s School at the Winter Carnival, to be held at Matthews Netball Centre, Pat Goodridge Reserve and Henderson Reserve, all in Wembley, on Thursday, 22nd June (Week 9).
St Dominic’s will have teams in Soccer and Netball this year.
Information and detailed fixtures are attached for both netball and soccer; I have highlighted all St Dominic’s matches. Students will leave school at 9.00am, to travel to the venue, with the first match commencing at 10:00am. Presentations will be held at 2.00pm and buses will depart the venue at 2.15pm
There are a few important things to note:
- This is a winter carnival and will proceed as planned unless weather is forecast to be dangerous. Students should be prepared to play in the rain and should ensure they bring warm clothes/ waterproofs as required for between games and for the journey home at the end of the day.
- There are no canteen facilities at the venues. Students and spectators should ensure they bring enough healthy snacks and lunch to last them the full day. There will be opportunities to refill water bottles at the venue.
- Uniform and footwear: Students should wear their playing uniforms underneath their St Dominic’s sport uniform (grey/ white shirt and maroon shorts) and school tracksuit if desired. For girls playing Netball, it is ok to come in their Netball skirt as long as they bring a pair of shorts to get changed into after school.
I will issue students with a playing uniform to wear/use for the day in the days prior to the carnival. These uniforms will need to be LEFT AT SCHOOL AT THE END OF THE DAY. As we are representing our school on this day, there should be no non-uniform items worn. Please ensure all belongings are clearly labelled. Students playing Soccer may choose to wear boots but are not required to do so.
- Equipment/Requirements
- Netball- nails must be cut
- Soccer- Mouthguards and shin protection recommended. Boots recommended.
As always, parents and spectators are very welcome to attend and support our teams.
Mrs Rimmer will head coach the Netball team and Mr Bovell will coach the soccer. We are after team managers to assist our coaches for the day, 1 for each team (soccer and netball) to time, score and manage equipment when needed. Please email jasmine.crosara@cewa.edu.au if you are available to help on the day, all help is much appreciated.
I will be training the netball girls at recess and lunch during week 8 and 9 and the soccer boys I have asked them to continue playing soccer at lunch and recess, to assist in developing the team cohesion.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me.
