2024 Sport Information Booklet

JUNIOR SCHOOL SPORT INFORMATION BOOKLET Nov 22

WELCOME FROM THE HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL SPORT Dear Parents/Guardians/Care Givers I would like to welcome all Junior School families to what promises to be a sport filled year. The sporting program in the Junior School is an important component of your child’s education at Redlands and is essential to their holistic formation. It has been developed to allow students to participate in a variety of sports and is aimed at accommodating each students’ interests and talents. The program encourages our students to cooperate with others and to learn how to contribute to a team and support each other. Sport programs offered by both Redlands and other Independent schools within our IPSHA Organisation are very different to those programs offered in club sport, rep sport and academies. There are no league tables, no finals and students play under modified rules to cater for the various ability levels. The aim is exposure to new sports and enjoyment through participation. Redlands recognises the importance of physical wellbeing and this starts in the Junior School - ensuring that sport, health and fitness are fundamentals of each student’s lifestyle from a young age. Redlands students can select from a wide range of summer and winter sports with both representative and non-representative opportunities as well as extra-curricular sports programmes. The information in this package aims to give you an insight into the Junior School sports program and the interschool sport competitions. Please read through the information and should you require any more information please feel free to visit the Junior School Sport Pages on Redlands Pulse. Notifications from the Sport Department will sent via the Redlands App. I look forward to seeing you soon and welcoming you and your children to Redlands. T Dunne Mr Trevor Dunne Junior School Head of Sport

SPORT AT REDLANDS Overview Sport at Redlands Junior School can be divided into 4 areas; 1.PDHPE Lessons 2.School Sport a. Non-Representative b. Representative Sport 3.Carnivals 4.HICES, CIS Representative Selection Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) PDHPE is timetabled curriculum-based lessons conducted in class time with PDHPE teachers. The PDHPE department is separate from the Redlands Sport Department. Any PDHPE questions or concerns should be directed to the class teacher who will contact your child’s PDHPE teacher. School Sport (Non- Representative and Representative) All students in Years 3- 6 participate in weekly sport on Wednesday afternoons during school time from 1:30-3:20pm (some sports return at 4:00pm). Students may elect either a Non- Representative sport; which has no additional commitments outside this time frame or a Representative sport which includes commitment to Saturday fixtures against other schools. There are Summer and Winter offerings which give several opportunities to try something new or commit to developing in a particular sport. Terms 1 and 4 are Summer Sport and Term 2 and 3 are Winter. Students can change between Rep and Non-Rep each season. Girls Sport & Boys Sport Being a co-educational sport, we benefit from having representative sporting teams in both the IPSHA competition for boys as well as the girls in the same pathway across multiple sport. The only difference between both competitions is that within IPSHA sports, Girls sports are 1 Term in duration as Boys sports run across 2 terms. An advantage for Redlands is that girls are welcome to play in the boy’s competition if they would like to play sport over two terms. These teams are referred to as ‘mixed’ teams. Carnivals Each year Redlands Junior School holds three major carnivals for students in Years 3-6- Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country. The aim of these carnivals is to build house spirit and participation. These will be held during school time and the highest placed finishers will make up the Redlands Representative Teams to progress to HICES (Heads of Independent Coeducational Schools) and from there CIS (Combined Independent Schools) and NSW PSSA carnivals for successful individuals. More information on carnivals is detailed later in this package. HICES and CIS Representative Selection Redlands Students have various opportunities throughout the year to trial for Representative teams with in our pathways. This can include HICES (the sporting association that we belong too) and/or CIS (Combined Independent Schools) which is the next level after HICES. More information on representative opportunities can be found later in this package. Snow Sports Additionally; Junior students and families can get involved with the Snow Sports Programme which caters for first timers to seasoned pros. The snow sports programme is coordinated separately to Junior School Sport- Information can be found on Redlands Pulse and enquiries should be directed to sport admin staff on the Secondary Campus:.

SPORTING VALUES Through participation in sport, everyone learns invaluable lessons that cannot be taught in a classroom; These skills are often carried through life and called upon in various settings in and out of the sporting arena. Sport at Redlands is a safe place to begin teaching and nurturing these skills. The Redlands Sporting Values reflect an age-appropriate approach for our students and coaches to apply to their sporting endeavours.

External companies and staff are engaged to run the various sports on offer and as such Non-Representative sports do incur charges that will be recharged to your school account. Transport to and from the venues is provided over the duration of the season and students are supervised by Redlands Teaching Staff. The costs of the sports on offer can be found on our sporting page on Pulse and may change from year to year. There is no requirement to purchase a playing uniform as the School Sports Uniform can be worn to the Wednesday sport training session. Water sports may require specific requirements. Expectations for Non-Representative Sport On Wednesdays students arrive at school in full Redlands Sports Uniform Students bring with them any sport specific items they need for their chosen sport, e.g. Tennis Racquet, Swimmers etc Parents discuss/confirm pick up arrangements with their child. Parents are welcome to collect their child from the training venue if that makes for an easier collect. Please note that teachers at the various sports cannot hold return bus departure from the venues for parents who are running late for venue pick up. The Redlands Student Code of Conduct is expected to be upheld at all times when representing the school.

REPRESENTATIVE SPORT REPRESENTATIVE SPORT Redlands Junior School has numerous representative sporting teams for students to join. Selecting a representative sport is a commitment to Saturday morning fixtures with team training taking place during Wednesday sport 1:30pm. Students may only elect a representative sport on Wednesdays if they commit to play for Redlands teams every Saturday. Representative Sport at Redlands Junior School is played in the IPSHA (Independent Primary Schools Heads of Australia) competition under the IPSHA guidelines. Redlands offers a choice of Summer and Winter Sports in Boys, Girls and Mixed teams. All students who elect to participate in Representative Sport will participate in trials and be graded into ability and/ or grade-based teams and compete against other schools over their respective season. No prior experience is required. Teams are allocated a coach for the season who will be present at Wednesday training and Saturday games. They are the first point of contact for general questions and on game day. Representative sport does not incur additional charges other than playing uniform which will need to be purchased or hired once sports are confirmed. This playing uniform must be worn to all Saturday morning sporting fixtures and may be worn to training sessions. The School Sports Uniform can be worn to the Wednesday sport training sessions although safety equipment must be worn. In addition to the Wednesday sport sessions, optional before school training is available to those students who have elected to play a Representative Sport that season. They are NOT compulsory; however, offer an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their skills and fitness. Expectations for Representative Sport- Wednesday Students arrive at school in full Redlands Sports Uniform Students bring with them any sport specific items they need for their chosen sport, e.g. Boots, shin pads, mouth guards etc Attendance at all Wednesday sport training sessions The Redlands Student Code of Conduct is expected to be upheld at all times when representing the school. Abide by the values and principles that Redlands and IPSHA promotes and encourage

REPRESENTATIVE SPORT Expectations for Representative Sport- Saturday Attendance at all Saturday morning sport fixtures (approx. a 90min commitment) during the season Absence from sport on match day needs to be completed via the SPORTS ABSENCE FORM found on the Junior Sport Pulse home page. The form can be completed ahead of time or on the day, with as much notice as possible to arrange another player. Check the Redlands App on the Friday to confirm match locations and time. Students arrive at playing venue 30min prior to listed start time in full playing uniform. This enables an appropriate warm up and preparation time for players, coaches and teams. Students bring with them any sport specific items they need for their chosen sport, e.g. Tennis Racquet, Shin-pads, boots, water bottle, medication etc. Coaching is to be left to the Redlands coaches who are employed for this role. Redlands students are humble in victory, gracious in defeat. The Redlands Student and Parent Code of Conduct is expected to be upheld at all times when representing the school. Team Trials Sport trials for Redlands representative teams will be held prior to the commencement of the season and may occur during Wednesday sport, before or after school or on a Saturday morning. Term 1 Sports Trials will be conducted in weeks 1 and 2 of term. Trials for Sports in Term 2, 3 and 4 will occur at the end of the previous term. (This includes Winter Sports and Girls Sports) Students are expected to attend trials to be accordingly ranked into teams. The 3 A’s At Redlands, Representative teams are ‘fluid’, meaning teams may change week to week depending on 3 main criteria- The 3 A’s. This is proven to provide fairness across all athletes and teams with the potential of movement if fit. This approach also aids in developing key elements required on and off the field to build a well-rounded athlete. The criteria are: ABILITY -in direct comparison to other students on the team ATTENDANCE -any student who misses 2 trainings or 2 games in a season unrelated to sickness may be moved ATTITUDE -this is based on behaviour at trainings, on game day and not limited to the sporting arena.

MIXED/ BOYS V'S GIRLS REPRESENTATIVE SPORT Mixed/Boys Sports and Girls Sports As Redlands is a co-educational school, we offer opportunities for both boys and girls to participate in sport. Being a co-educational sport, we benefit from having representative sporting teams in both the IPSHA competition for boys as well as the girls in the same pathway across multiple sport. The only difference between both competitions is that within IPSHA sports of which we belong, Girls sports are 1 Term in duration as Boys sports run over 2 terms. An advantage for Redlands is that girls are welcome to play in the boy’s competition in boys sports if they would like to play a sport over two terms. These teams are referred to as 'mixed’ teams. Boys and Mixed Teams Boys (Mixed) IPSHA Competitions run across two terms; Summer Term 1 & 4 and Winter Terms 2 & 3. If you choose a Boys/ Mixed/Open Sport you must see out this commitment for the full season. Teams from Term 1 will be the same in Term 4*- we will not conduct re-trials between these two terms.
