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, 13th June, 2024.
St Dominic’s will have 1 team in AFL 1, team in Soccer and 2 teams in Netball.
Information and detailed fixtures area attached for Netball A (Year 6s), Netball B (Year 5s), Soccer and AFL. 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 and AFL may choose to wear boots but are not required to do so, if they have studs they are only to be plastic, NO METAL STUDS.
- Equipment/Requirements
- Netball – nails must be cut
- Soccer – Mouthguards and shin protection recommended. Boots recommended.
- AFL – Mouthguards Compulsory and boots recommended.
As always, parents and spectators are very welcome to attend and support our teams.
Miss Winterbine (Year 6 PRAC Student) will head coach the Netball A team, Mrs Sandra Gioffre will head coach the Netball B, Mr Bovell will coach the AFL, and Mr McCabe will coach Soccer.
We are after team managers to assist our coaches for the day, 1 for each team; 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.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me.
