If you are unsure of anything, or have any questions check with the - Code Convenor or see Mr. Witts in the sports office.

4 REGISTRATION UNIFORM
Uniform requirements are kept to a minimum but in all cases the uniform is non-negotiable. Our various sports uniforms are registered for sporting codes and must be adhered to. In codes where students are provided with a uniform by the college, that uniform is only to be worn for that code and in competition only. Failure to return the uniform, or in cases of loss/damage, students will be billed for replacement costs. At
practices and games, no caps (other than the college cap), cargo pants, NEWLANDS COLLEGE jeans or school uniform are to be worn.

BACKGROUND
Newlands has participated in the Theatre Fest One Act Play competition NEWLANDS COLLEGE a number of times. The plays are open to anyone to join but commitment is key. The rehearsals start in Term 2 and full commitment is needed after the Musical and are usually once a week until closer to the performance date. Performance date is usually early in Term 3. If we get through the local competition we go to the regional final that happens later in Term 3 with the finals happening in mid to late September.
