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
[email protected] Type ‘STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT’ in the subject line.
Please also note the Important Dates at the end of this booklet which include the Onslow Col-
lege Sports Awards and College Sport Wellington SPOTY Awards.

Fees and Payment Plans
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 – 11 February;
Winter Fees—2 May).
Registration fees assist with the cost of equipment, uniform replacement, first aid, competition entry
fees, compulsory officials fees, turf and facility hire charges, photocopying, reimbursement of coach/
manager expenses, use of facilities and facility upkeep, some transport costs and administration.
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 fami-
lies.
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 to the sports office on the first day of school or soon after.
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:
4-8 April 2016 Summer Tournament Week
27 August – 3 September 2016 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 19 May
2016. 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.

Coaches and Managers
Teams will not be entered into competition without a Coach and a Manager.
We are very grateful to all our volunteers as without them we would be unable to provide the
sporting opportunities that our students enjoy so much.
With around 160 teams at Onslow College each year it is vital that we have parental and community
involvement in coaching and managing teams. The Coach/Manager/Officials Registration & Contact
Form in this document should be completed if you are available to assist with our sports pro-
gramme. Please complete and return it to the Sports Office or scan and email to
[email protected] Alternatively, contact with our Sports Office would be welcomed.
Senior coaching positions can be applied for by sending your contact and qualification details by
email to the Sports Office [email protected] Please include an outline of the skills you be-
lieve you could bring to the position and any relevant references. Your past experience and pre-
ferred coaching style should be included in your application.

WELCOME and THANK YOU
There will be a ‘Welcome’ event (drinks and nibbles) and a short meeting on Wednesday 23
March at 7.30pm in the Student Centre at Onslow College. This is an opportunity to meet with
other sports officials, complete Police vetting forms and receive our Coaches, Managers and
Officials Handbook and have your questions answered.
A ‘Thank you’ social event for coaches, managers and officials who have supported the
Sports Department throughout the year will be held on Thursday 24 November 2016.
Sports Team Photographs
All sports teams will have the opportunity to have a team photograph taken on Tuesday 2
August 2016.
The success of this opportunity relies on all team members being available, on time and dressed in
their team uniform. Term 1 summer sport teams will need to arrange for uniform to be available on
the day if they have loaned uniforms from the Sports Office.
Coaches, managers and team officials are welcome to join students for the photographs and a
schedule will be available on the school website ahead of the event.
Photographs will be made available online in full resolution for all sports students to access with a
username and password which will be issued by the school. Payment is covered by your sports
fees, however hardcopy prints may be ordered directly from the photographers website at an addi-
tional cost OR an image file downloaded and taken to a local lab for processing. Students and their
parents will be able to save images on their phone, pc or other device. Images can be shared with-
out infringing copyright.

Uniform Requirements
Uniform requirements are kept to a minimum but in all cases the uniform is non-negotiable and must
be adhered to. Wearing sports uniform is a requirement of the sports bodies who provide the com-
petitions our teams enter i.e. College Sport Wellington, Wellington Hockey Association and Welling-
ton Netball Centre. Onslow College’s official sports colours are green and red.
All students in the school’s premier teams and teams that travel to Summer and Winter Tourna-
ments, are required to wear the school tracksuit to all competitions. Tracksuits can be pur-
chased from the Sports Office.
Uniforms provided by Onslow College will be signed out to students at the time of issue. An annual
loan fee of $20 per item will be charged to the student’s account.
Uniform that is not returned will be charged to the student’s account at $150 per item. Uni-
forms will be collected at the end of the season by coaches/managers or can be returned to the
Sports Office in a bag with your name, form class and sports code written on a piece of paper inside.
Please make an effort to return uniform following the last week of your playing season as it may be
required for teams entering the next season of sport.
The timely return of uniform will help keep sports fees down. All hired uniform is expected to be re-
turned in a clean and tidy condition. Damage of uniforms should be advised to the Sports Office as
soon as possible after it happens.
Uniforms not provided by the school can, in most cases, be purchased from the Sports office. A
price list for sports uniform is at the back of this information booklet. Payments should be made
to the school office and the receipt brought to the Sports Office where the order will be filled.
Uniform items cannot be charged to student accounts.
Details of the uniform items required to be purchased for each code are included with the individual
code information on the following pages.
All attempts are being made to standardise the uniform to our new ‘Koru’ design and to limit
the number of items you will need to purchase. Any items you purchase should be able to be
used for several years and several sports codes and PE classes.
If you have any questions or issues around obtaining the right uniform for any code, please contact
the Sports office as soon as possible. Email [email protected]
