SPORTS HANDBOOK 2016 Foreword This Sports Policy and Information handbook aims to draw together, for parents and students, the different policies, procedures and information that frame the Sports Program of the College. There is continual review of the co-curricular Sports Program at the College. As a result there may be minor changes to the information included in this handbook. All changes and updated information will be published on Haiku and on the Sports Office Noticeboard. An active and extensive extra-curricular Sports Program is a feature of Catholic and other independent schools. At Santa Sabina College it enriches the scope of the College’s opportunities available to students and contributes to the holistic education we promote. The Sports Program contributes significantly to the student life of the College through: • Fostering participation, personal excellence, and the development of the whole person. • Strengthening school spirit, building community, promoting fair play, participation, skill development, resilience, teamwork and leadership. • Promoting a healthy lifestyle. • Building the self-esteem and self-confidence of students. • Encouraging personal responsibility and team building. • Creating a sense of pride and community building. We hope that students will benefit from, and contribute to, the Sports Program at Santa Sabina College.
