Below is a message from the Futsal organisers.
Hi Teams,
In terms of game timings, notice that we are working with a strict space and time availability and there isn't much room for changes if any. You will notice that we had to squeeze an earlier game - 3:30pm and from 6:00pm onwards we have only one court available but I'm sure we can make it work.
Also, please notice that in the grade 'Year 5-6' we have an odd number of teams which creates a bye. Therefore, we have one team playing 2 consecutive games each week, so the 'bye' team can get a game.
REMINDERS:
- As in previous years, these teams do not need a coach, only an adult who can look after the team on the day and manage substitutions.
- Shin pads are recommended during games.
- 8 players per team recommended – we’d like to keep teams at 8 players maximum, so each player is guaranteed a good amount of game time.
- All teams MUST be accompanied by a team manager/coordinator and not left to their own to organise or to make subs etc.
- School sports uniforms are to be worn please. (we will have bibs if colours clash)
- Draw for each week will be emailed to team managers – we will also email it and post on Football Waitaki Facebook page
- Sometimes there will be changes that need to be made to the draw, these will be done by 12pm at the latest on the Friday before games so please advise managers of the updated draw then.
- Games are 13-minute halves
- Please make sure that your teams vacate the court as quick as possible after their game to make sure the next round of games does not start later.
- We are making an effort to have referees for all the games. If by any chance your games do not have a referee, please make sure they start on time and we will try to get you a referee as soon as we can.
- For anyone interested in learning the basics of FUTSAL REFEREEING, we are hosting a 1h online workshop this Thursday at 6:00pm. We will send you email you the link to join tomorrow.
Kind Regards,
Luis
Labour Day Happenings
Last weekend, Millie Fogarty, a year 7 student competed in the lower South Island Scout regatta at Cromwell. She versed 4 other clubs from Dunedin and the top of the South Island. They did rowing, sailing, swimming and triathlon. There were 6 scouts from Oamaru ranging in age from 10-15 years. Millie really enjoyed the weekend and said it was really good fun and it didn't matter what ability you had as long as you gave it a go and did your best.

Loud Shirt Day
Millie from Year 7 in addition to her last term's initiative for giving clothing to Vincent de Paul, organised a Loud Shirt Day at school today. Students were asked to wear a loud shirt on the day and bring a gold coin donation. Donations can also be made online here. We raised $84.00 for this worthwhile charity.

Loud Shirt Day is the annual fundraising campaign of The Hearing House and the Southern Cochlear Implant Programme (SCIP), the only two charities in New Zealand dedicated to helping children and adults with cochlear implants learn to listen and communicate.
Subway
Thank you to Jessie Crawford who has been correlating our Subway lunch orders for the past few months. Jessie is unavailable to carry it on and therefore we are looking for someone who has a spare 45-60 minutes on a Friday morning to do the subway orders. Please contact the office if you are interested.
Please note there is chocolate milk available @ $2.00 each with the subway lunches.
Temporary Road Closure
Usk Street will be closed from Tuesday 31st October to Thursday 2nd November due to resealing. Children are to be dropped off / picked up from the Reed Street entrance or Torridge Street gate. We ask for consideration and patience at this time as the road will be very busy. There will be no access to the school carpark.
Welcome
We warmly welcome Caysn M who started school this week.
