In addition the daily notices are available on notice boards around the school and are placed on the school website at around 3pm each day for the next day. Parents can access these through the Parent Portal.

Sporting Achievements During the course of the year there are a number of occasions where the school recognises and ap- plauds the sporting achievements of its students. This applies equally to all sporting codes. The Physical Education and Sports Departments often hear of such success but there are some students who reach representative status outside of the co-curricular sports programme that we aren’t aware of. Please tell us about these achievements by emailing the sports office [email protected] Type ‘STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT’ in the subject line.

Please also note the Important Dates at the end of this booklet which include the Onslow Col- lege Sports Awards and College Sport Wellington SPOTY Awards dates.

Fees and Payment Plans All Sports Fees include a $10 non-refundable registration/admin fee. Once an account is received, please ensure payment is made by the due dates (Summer Fees – 03 February; Winter Fees— 1 May). Registration fees assist with the cost of equipment, uniform replacement, first aid, competition entry fees, compulsory officials fees, turf and facility hire charges, photocopying, reimbursement of coach/ manager expenses, use of facilities and facility upkeep, some transport costs and administration. Additionally, students involved in exchanges and tournaments will pay associated fees and should expect to be involved in fundraising activities to help reduce the costs of these tournaments to families. Please contact the school office if you need to discuss a payment plan or use the Payment Plan form in this booklet which can be returned to the sports office on the first day of school or soon after. Students are asked to think carefully about each sport and the level of commitment that will be required of them. NO REFUNDS will be given after the first week of a sports season unless there are extenuating circumstances. Application for refund should be made to the Sports Office in writing.

Communication The Sports Office is open from 9.00am to 3.30pm including interval and lunchtime most days. Stu- dents are encouraged to discuss any sports issues (such as defaults and deferrals) in a timely manner as they have a responsibility to their own team members, the teams they compete against, and the competition organisers. Late advice of defaulted games incur a charge from tournament providers which must be paid by the team concerned before the following week of play.

Sports Tournaments Teams or individuals may compete in various North Island or National Secondary Schools Tourna- ments or other events throughout the year. The two main tournament dates are: 27 March—31 March 2017 Summer Tournament Week 3 September—9 September 2017 Winter Tournament Week. Senior teams participating in these tournaments will be selected depending upon their level of achievement in local competition and on the expectation that they could gain selection to a national competition. If selected in more than one top team, students may only represent one code during Tournament Week. Team coaches and the Director of Sport must be advised of their decision by 19 May 2017. This may require the student stepping down from one team in order to allow the tournament team to train together. NOTE: To participate in either of these tournaments, students will be required to pay extra costs for travel, accommodation, food and entry fees, these must be paid before the tournament commences or the student will be unable to attend. It is expected that students will be involved in fundraising.

Uniform Requirements Uniform requirements are kept to a minimum but in all cases the uniform is non-negotiable and must be adhered to. Wearing sports uniform is a requirement of the sports bodies who provide the competitions our teams enter i.e. College Sport Wellington, Wellington Hockey Association and Welling- ton Netball Centre. Onslow College’s official sports colours are green and red.

All students in the school’s premier teams and teams that travel to Summer and Winter Tourna- ments, are required to wear the school tracksuit to all competitions. Tracksuits can be purchased from the Sports Office.

06 HANDBALL CODE CONVENOR: KEVIN CAMPBELL Handball is an exciting team sport in which two teams of seven players each (six outfield players and a goalkeeper) pass a ball using their hands with the aim of throwing it into the goal of the other team. A standard match consists of two halves, and the team that scores more goals wins. Goals must be scored by throwing the ball from outside the zone or while "jumping" into it. The game is quite fast and includes body contact, as the defenders try to stop the attackers from approaching the goal. Handball has been an Olympic sport since 1972.

Onslow College is wanting to enter both Girls and Boys teams into CSW competition in 2017. If we don’t have the numbers we will enter mixed teams.

Training: Tuesday at Onslow College. Time TBC with coach. Equipment: Balls are provided. Students must wear non-marking indoor sports shoes. Competition: Boys and mixed—Wednesday in Terms 1 at ASB Sports Centre. Girls—Friday in Terms 1 at ASB Sports Centre. Entry in Term 4 is for Juniors only and will be based on student commitment.

A parent will need to be present to supervise. It works well if parents take turns with this responsibility. Team managers will also be required.

Rowing requires a significant commitment from both students and the large group of parents and community members who have put in many hours over many years to develop the programme at Onslow College. As a consequence Onslow has enjoyed some excellent results in this sport.

The Onslow College Rowing Club (OCRC) is the provider of College representative rowing within the Onslow College community. We are affiliated to the Wellington Rowing Club (WRC). Students row for the WRC in local regattas and represent Onslow College in the championship regattas at Lake Karapiro and other secondary school regattas, including the Maadi Cup (NZSS Rowing Champs).

The season begins with a LeaIrn to Row programme starting in August followed by a camp at the end of Term 3 to identify students with the right drive and potential and continues over the summer holidays until March of the following year.

Rowing requires a large time commitment. Novice squads train 5-6 times per week from Oct to Dec. Up to 8 trainings a week are likely near the end of the season as crews build for championship regattas. It is unreasonable to expect that you will be able to play another sport during Term 4 and Term 1 of the following year if you choose to row.

A full information evening in July will provide students and parents with a comprehensive picture of what is involved.

Trainings: Onslow College, Wellington Rowing Club, Frank Kitts Park Lagoon and other venues.

Venues: Wellington Harbour, Wanganui River, Wairarapa, Lake Karapiro.

Uniform: Full information will be given at the pre-season meeting.

Costs: Students chosen as novice rowers after the ‘Learn to Row’ camp should expect costs of around $2800 (ex Maadi) for the full season. These costs include all club, coaching and uniform fees for the season. They also cover the Learn To Row programme, participation at two major camps, at least three away regattas as well as local regattas and other mini camps. Actual costs may vary depending on the individual rower’s participation in all events, but are indicative of a typical season. Costs are charged on a per event basis.

$10.00 Administration fee will be charged to your account once squads are confirmed in Sep- tember. The fee includes professional sports photographs in August following the season.

Rowing is an expensive sport and fundraising opportunities are provided to assist students and their families.

Parent help required: Rowing is very much a family affair with everyone expected to pitch in and help. Please be prepared to take on some responsibility such as parent help at camps and regattas, transport, towing coach boats, driving the boat trailer and boat loading/maintenance.

See the OCRC website for more information: www.ocrowingclub.weebly.com

Orienteering combines running with navigational challenge. Courses are set for all levels of experience. Beginners' courses have simple navigation, generally using tracks. More advances courses require runners to make decisions about how to navigate quickly and accurately around an off track course. Orienteering at its top level is a fast and physical sport, but is just as enjoyable at a more sedate pace. Some team members will run every event fast and hard, others will walk around the course, enjoying the time outside and the challenge of navigating accurately.

Competition: 19 Feb—21 May. Events run all through the year and are generally held on Sunday mornings, usually starting after 11 am. They are put on by the local orienteering clubs, and include a College Sport Wellington series during the first term. Events are held around parks, reserves, regional parks and local farmland and forests. Training sessions are held on most weekends without a local event. Coaching will be coordinated by Paul Teesdale-Spittle, who has coached the team since 2008, assisted by past Onslow team members and supported by team parents. In addition to weekly events, the team may attend: North Island Secondary School Championships (19-21 May) in Taupo National Secondary School Championships (20-22 July in the Wairarapa). There are opportunities for the runners to get into the New Zealand Schools team for annual tests against Australia.

Equipment/Uniform: Whilst there is specialised orienteering gear, newcomers need nothing more than an Onslow College sports top (Koru deign singlet or t-shirt) and a pair of trainers, ideally one with good trail grip.

Cost: $10.00 admin fee (includes team sports photo) plus there is a charge for each event, typically between $5 and $12 to cover the cost of map printing and the event timing equipment.

This Confidence-Awareness Initiative, provided by GKR karate, is well-established throughout New Zealand, Australia & the United Kingdom. GKR has been operating in Wellington for over 20 years.

These qualities are intrinsic in the Martial Arts teachings, and we have seen some incredible transformations take place throughout our schools as children develop greater self-confidence and leadership skills. Aside from these improvements, karate is also a great physical activity that can enhance both physical and mental co-ordination.

It is well known that children who train in karate are less likely to be bullied (or become bullies), and are less susceptible to negative peer pressure.

Training: One after school session per week for 8 weeks in Term 1 and Term 4. Stu dents are able to train at Club Dojo’s following their first course of lessons. Full details will be provided once registrations are received.

Equipment: None

Uniforms: Students receive a FREE GKR Training T-Shirt as part of that plus they will also receive a 4-month trial membership & a FREE Public Class Voucher. Students should wear comfortable stretch trousers suitable for this activity.
