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.

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. This applies equally to all sporting codes. The

Physical Education and Sports Departments often hear of such success but there are some stu-

dents who reach representative status outside of the co-curricular sports programme that we aren’t

aware of. Please tell us about these achievements by emailing the sports office

sport@onslow.school.nz

Please also note the Important Dates at the end of this booklet which include the Onslow College

Sports Awards and College Sport Wellington SPOTY Awards.

GENERAL

Fees All Sports Fees include a $10 non-refundable registration/admin fee. Once an account is re-

ceived, please ensure payment is made by the due dates (Summer Fees – 12 February;

Winter Fees—4 May).

Registration fees assist with the cost of equipment, uniform replacement, first aid, competition entry

fees, compulsory officials fees, turf and facility hire charges, some transport costs and administra-

tion. 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 families.

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 on registration day.

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.

Communication The Sports Office is open from 9.00am to 3.30pm including interval and lunchtime most days. Stu-

dents are encouraged to discuss any sports issues (such as defaults and deferrals) in a timely man-

ner 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 before the following week of play.

Sports 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:

23-27 March 2015 Summer Tournament Week

31 August – 4 September 2015 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.

If selected in more than one top team, students may only represent one code during Tournament

Week. Team coaches and the Director of Sport must be advised of their decision by 18 May

2015. This may require the student stepping down from one team in order to allow the tournament

team to train together.

NOTE: To participate in either of these tournaments, students will be required to pay extra costs for

travel, accommodation, food and entry fees, these must be paid before the tournament commences

or the student will be unable to attend. It is expected that students will be involved in fundraising.

turned in a clean and tidy condition. Damage of uniforms should be advised to the Sports Office as

soon as possible after it happens.

14 ORIENTEERING (14 ORIENTEERING (14 ORIENTEERING (All yearAll yearAll year)))

CODE CONVENOR: PAUL TEESDALE-SPITTLE

Orienteering combines running with navigational challenge. Courses are set for all levels of experi-ence. Beginners' courses have simple navigation, generally using tracks. More advances courses require runners to make decisions about how to navigate quickly and accurately around an off track course. Orienteering at its top level is a fast and physical sport, but is just as enjoyable at a more sedate pace. Some team members will run every event fast and hard, others will walk around the course, enjoying the time outside and the challenge of navigating accurately.

Competition: Events run all through the year and are generally held on Sunday mornings, usually starting after 11 am. They are put on by the local orienteering clubs, and include a College Sport Wellington series during the first term. Events are held around parks, reserves, regional parks and local farmland and forests. Training sessions are held on most weekends without a local event. Coaching will be coordinated by Paul Teesdale-Spittle, who has coached the team since 2008, assisted by past Onslow team members and supported by team parents. In addition to weekly events, the team may attend the North Island Secondary School Championships (16-18 April and the National Secondary School Champion ships (16-18 July). There are opportunities for the runners to get into the New Zealand schools team for annual tests against Australia.

Equipment/Uniform: Whilst there is specialised orienteering gear, newcomers need nothing more than an Onslow College sports top (Koru deign singlet or t-shirt) and a pair of trainers, ideally one with good trail grip.

Cost: $10.00 admin fee( includes team sports photo) plus there is a charge for each event, typically between $5 and $12 to cover the cost of map printing and the event timing equipment.

Parent Help Required: Please indicate your availability on the Coaches/Managers/Officials

Rowing is lucky to have the commitment of a large group of parents and community members who

have put in many years of development to the programme at Onslow College. As a consequence

Onslow is currently enjoying some excellent results in this sport.

Rowing is run in association with the Wellington Rowing Club. Fees are paid directly to the club and

students row for the club (under the Onslow banner) for most of the season. There are several sec-

ondary School regattas in February and March that are the highlight of the season which begins with

a Learn to Row camp in September to identify students with the right drive and potential.

Rowing requires huge commitment (up to 10 trainings a week near the end of the season, so it is

unreasonable to expect that you will be able to play another sport during Term 4 and Term 1 of the

following year if you choose to row.

It is also an expensive sport and fundraising opportunities are provided to assist students and their

families.

A full information evening in July will provide students and parents with a comprehensive picture of

what is involved.

Trainings: Onslow College, Wellington Rowing Club, Frank Kitts Park Lagoon

Venues: Wellington Harbour, Wanganui River, Lake Horowhenua, Lake Karapiro

Uniform: Some items are purchased through the school and some are ordered by the

Rowing committee. Full information will be given at the pre-season meeting.

Costs: Charged on a per event basis. Costs vary and will be advised when details for each

event are confirmed. Students chosen as novice rowers after the ‘Learn to Row’

camp should expect costs of around $2500—$3000 for the following season.

$10.00 Administration fee will be charged to school accounts once squads are con

firmed in September. The fee includes professional sports photographs in July.
