It’s on again! The town and two primary schools of Boorowa will be playing host to the Boorowa Combined Primary Schools Touch & Netball Carnival.  SCA will be nominating teams for both these sports for Years 2-6.  We see this as a fun opportunity for our children to compete against different schools and give our city kids a country experience.  Given the current COVID conditions there is a chance the carnival may be cancelled. Confirmation of the carnival will be sent to families on Friday 14th October.
 
The carnival is due to commence at 9am and conclude, depending on the draw, at approximately 3:30pm.  We will be travelling by either private transport or by coach.  The coach will be leaving the school at 6:15am and should arrive back at school by approximately 5:30pm.  Children will need to take enough food and drinks for a whole day, especially water.  A full canteen & BBQ will also be operating on the day.
 
Children will need to wear their full sports uniform, including school cap or school netball visor and suitable clothing for any weather conditions the day presents.  Sunscreen is a must for all children.
 
Children are to nominate for either Touch or Netball.  We require parents to volunteer as coach/manager for their child’s team if possible.  It is an easy and enjoyable job for the day. We will endeavour wherever possible to keep the netball players in their weekend teams, though only if numbers allow.
 
There is the option to travel to the Carnival by coach or by private transport.  Each child travelling by coach is asked to pay $45, which will contribute to the cost of entering teams as well as transport.  Each family only need to pay for a maximum of two players.  Children travelling by private transport will only need to pay $10. 
 
Due to the large number of children traditionally attending, seats on the bus will be on a first come, first served basis.  Adults assisting as Coaches/ Managers /Umpires travel for free on the coach if you wish.  Please return the permission form that was sent to all Yr 2-6 families on Compass and make payment via QKR  by Friday 23rd September .
