Change of Contact Details
If you have changed your address/ telephone numbers etc in the holidays, please let the office know as a contact list will be sent out in the next couple of weeks to confirm your details.
Drivers Wanted
Our Yr 7 & 8 Early Childhood Buddy and Young Vinnies programme will be starting up again soon. In order for this to happen we need to have available a pool of drivers who are able to drop off children between 10.30 and 11.00 am and pick them up again on a Thursday. Some of the venues the children visit require an adult to be with them for their whole visit. If you are able to offer some time to help, please contact Adrienne Spillane on 021 207 2871 or leave a message at the office and she will contact you with details.
Subway Lunches
There will be no Subway lunches tomorrow and they will resume again next Friday 8th February. Subway costs $6.00 for a bun or wrap, bag of sliced apple and a cookie.
Swimming
Please let Mrs Brien know if you child has moved up a swimming level in the holidays.
Cricket and Touch Rugby
At the end of last year, we asked for cricket and touch rugby enrolments for this term. If your child is not on the list and is interested in playing these sports and if you can help out with coaching either Friday night cricket or touch rugby, please let Mrs Brien know at sport@stjoseph.school.nz When you put your name down to play sport for school, you are committed to playing that sport otherwise you are letting everyone else down and that is not what team sports are about. If you wish to withdraw your child's name or have any questions, please let Mrs Brien know ASAP. Thank you.
Cricket
Friday Night Boys Bash and Girls Smash cricket competition starts on Friday 16th February at 4.00 pm at Centennial Park and goes for 45 minutes. This 5 week competition is for boys in Yrs 3-6 and girls in Yrs 5-8. This does not cost you anything and you do not have to bring any gear. Teams are made up of 6 players and if we have more than 6 players, we can get players from another school. This competition is a fun based format. We are looking for one parent to help with each team and cricket knowledge is not essential as they will tell you what is required. The names we have so far for this competition is:
Boys
Blake Meek, Iverson Wylie-Taukolo, Hamish Fowler, Hunter Gough, Elias Herbst, Lewis Gough, Lisiate Hausia, Riley Tuffley and Michael Woodhouse
Girls
Milly Campbell, Lilly Kelcher, Willow Bartlett, Chloe Bartley, Mariah Cunningham, Hannah Fowler, Serah Staju, Payton Bartley, Hana Davies, Zara Davies, Annalise Kilgour and Adriana Wylie-Taukolo
(I have included Milly and Lilly as they are Yr 4 girls and we were allowed to bring up a couple. If we get 2 more girls, we can have two teams of girls)
Saturday Cricket
Starts on Saturday 10th February and training is on Wednesday 7th February at 3.30 pm at St Kevin's College cricket nets by Redcastle Road. Some teams have to be finalised due to players leaving and there could be a couple of changes through the teams. Teams will be announced next week. If anyone is wishing to play cricket on Saturday mornings, please let Mrs Brien or Mr Fowler know. Academy cricket starts at 9.30 am on Saturday 10th February.
Touch Rugby
- This years touch rugby teams will have at least 9-12 players in each team and will have 3 or more girls as last year there was a shortage of players and most teams were looking for extra players each week which was caused by players not turning up and the teams being thin on the ground. Also we have to accommodate players in their correct year levels and put them in the right grades.
- If there is more people wanting to play touch rugby, some teams will be altered.
- Touch Rugby starts on Tuesday 20th February (not 13th February as previously mentioned) and is held at Whitestone Centennial Park on Taward Street. The last round is on the 27th March.
- Touch registrations are made in term 1 and carry out to term 4. Players stay in the same team for both terms. Changes within teams can be made if there are children arriving or leaving school during the year but generally it is run as one competition.
- Grades are Year 1/2/3 - Year 4/5/6 - Year 7/8
- Depending on the number of entries, games will be at 4.00, 4.30 or 5.00 pm
- The cost for touch rugby is $20 per player for the full year (term 1 and term 4)
- There are 4 teams who do not have a coach/manager - please put your hand up to help out as it is only 30 minutes each week. Thank you to the parents who have already offered to help.
