Staying Informed
There are a number of ways you can keep up to date with Sports information.
- School Newsletter, Audacia, weekly update – The update contains registration information, weekly fixtures, sports procedures, wet weather information, student achievements
- Follow us on the MLC School Sports Facebook Page – The Facebook page contains details regarding MLC School sports events, wet weather information on the day of the event, updates during events, student achievements and sporting highlights.
- Canvas – Students are informed of important sport events through Canvas. It is imperative that you regularly check Canvas and emails.
- Email – The Sports Department primarily uses email to relay any important sport information to parents and students. Please ensure the School has your preferred email address and you check emails regularly to not miss important information.
- Phone – If you would like to speak to a member of staff, please call 02 8741 3126 during office hours.
Absences from training and games
On the rare occasions that it may be necessary for a player to miss training or a competition, please follow these instructions.
- If the inability to attend is known in advance, a written explanation (email) from the player’s parent/carer is to be given to the coach and Sports Department in advance. This notice should be given as early as possible.
- If the player is absent from school on the day of training or on competition day, the player’s parent/carer is asked to advise the coach and Sports Department of their daughter’s absence from training or the game.
- Do not ask your friends or teammates to give your coach the message.
- Do give as much notice as possible.
- If there is a clash with another sport or school event, please speak with the Sports Department to determine which game/event you should attend.
Please note: Continued failure to attend training or competitions without a timely written explanation is unacceptable and may jeopardise the player’s continued involvement in sport.
Pockets are only awarded to students who have attended at least 80% of training and games.
What do I do if it's wet weather?
While on most occasions we would not cancel training for wet weather, cancellations may occur if rain is too heavy to train in or weather conditions deem it unsafe. Additionally, due to safe distancing measures and government guidelines, we may be required to cancel training when we cannot accommodate students safely in an indoor space.
Morning Training
The decision to cancel any morning training sessions will be made by 8pm the night before training.
Wet weather cancellations will be posted on the MLC School Sport Facebook page, followed by an email.
No Facebook post or email means that activities will still go ahead.
After School Training
The decision to cancel any after school training sessions will be made by 1pm on the day of training.
Wet weather cancellations will be posted on the MLC School Sport Facebook page, followed by an email.
Saturday Games
If you are playing an IPSHA Sport, please follow this link to the IPSHA Wet Weather site. Once on the site, select your venue and there will be a notification if your venue is closed. IPSHA normally makes a decision by 7am.
If you are playing an IGSA Sport, visit this link to find out if your venue is closed or open.
For Santa Sabina Basketball and Volleyball use the Santa Sabina Sport Twitter link.
When possible, Saturday cancellations will be posted on the MLC School Sport Facebook page.
On all occasions, it is the individuals’ responsibility to check the wet weather information. The Sports department, coaches and managers are not always in a position to relay any game cancellations.
