Daily Information The Sports Notice Board, situated outside the Sports Office window (link foyer area), contains infor- mation about draws, results, team lists, future sports events and opportunities, cancellations and de- faults. Students should check the notice board regularly as it is their responsibility to stay informed. 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. A College Sport Wellington App is available. CSW runs much of the sport Onslow is involved in, plus the app also contains draws for both Netball Wellington & Wellington Hockey. It is freely available through both Apple App & Google Play stores and gives everyone immediate up-to-date sports draw and result information. 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. 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 achieve- ments by emailing the sports office [email protected] Communication Students are encouraged to discuss any sports issues (such as defaults and deferrals) in a timely manner with the Sports Office 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. 5 Sports fees will be added to student accounts following registration and can be paid once they appear on your statement. Accounts can be viewed online through the Parent Portal and a statement will be emailed to parents. Once an account is received, please ensure payment is made within two weeks. Late pay- ment may mean your student is not allowed to continue playing their sport. Fees and Payment Plans All Sports Fees include a $10 non-refundable registration/admin fee. This administration fee also includes the fee to gain online access to the professional team photographs that will be taken in Term 3. 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 fami- lies. 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 re- quired 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. Payment of Accounts Fees can be paid in the following ways: By cash/cheque or Eftpos at the school office By internet banking (Onslow College 12-3174-0265002-00) Details must include the students name, ‘SPORT’, and the sport codes they are paying for. These codes can be found in this document e.g. Cricket - 3014. By credit card via the Parent Portal accessed from the school website. Parents of Year 9 stu- dents will be invited to join the portal in early January. 6 Winter & Summer 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: 26 March—31 March 2018 Summer Tournament Week 3 September—8 September 2018 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.
