Happy holidays everyone!

Hope everyone is well.

I have completed registration for the netball season (apart from our junior year 1 team), if you are a manager or coach for one of our teams you should have received an email from me outlining the scoring code and information evening details, if you have not yet got that please reach out and let me know. 

All students should now also have a uniform for the season please let me know if you have not yet got one.

Fees are also due, $90 per student, please pay this to the office with netball as a reference, if there are any problems with this let me know. 

At this stage, we are still after at least one more player for our Junior year 1 team before I will register the team, if you know of anyone that is interested, please give them my details. 

As always reach out if you are not sure of anything. 

Thanks 

Nina
