Recreational Sport 

After a lengthy anticipation, this week buses returned for College sport to transport students to various venues in the community. Students participated in tennis, roller skating, obstacle courses, gymnastics and virtual golf. Students' sports were high upon returning to the College. Meanwhile students on-site engaged in a range of activities led by both teachers and external providers. 

A reminder of the following protocols that are currently in place that have been informed by advice from NSW Health, NSW Transport and the Catholic Education, Diocese of Wollongong. 

• Students will only travel to venues who have provided the Sport Coordinator with a COVID-19 Safety Plan. 
• The number of students and staff on buses will enable social distancing between students and their accompanying teacher. 
• Hand sanitiser will be available for students. Students should use hand sanitiser before and after participating in activities/travelling on a bus. 
• Students may wear a mask, however this is not compulsory.
• Whilst travelling on buses, students must maintain good personal hygiene, including coughing and sneezing into their elbow and disposing of tissues appropriately.
• Students are required to take their own water bottles to offsite venues.  

All efforts are being made to provide opportunities for students to safely return to their intended sport schedule. If you have any queries, please contact Ms Sarah Bowen at the College via a phone call to (02) 9603 3000 or email to bowens01@dow.catholic.edu.au

Term 4 MISA 

All MISA trials have now taken place and teams have been finalised. Congratulations to all students who were successful in obtaining selection into a team. Team lists are posted on the window of the sports office. Thank you to all students who attended the trials. There is likely to be some disappointment for those players who did not obtain selection. I encourage these students to seek feedback from the coaches who conducted trials and to not be disheartened. Acknowledge your feelings of disappointment, contemplate what you might do differently in future, accept the decision and move on. We are fortunate to have a wide range of sports available through the recreational program that are enjoyable for all students. 

MISA will commence in Week 3 with the draw and locations found below:
