Sport has resumed for Term 3 with details outlined in the letter sent to parents via  Compass on Monday 20 July. A summary of this information can be found below.

Magdalene students are provided with the sport rotations for Terms 3 and 4 outlined in the table.

Details for each of the above sport rotations can be found in the letter on Compass. For students who have been selected in a MISA team for Term Three, this will be their weekly sport.

Current Physical Activity and Sport Guidelines

The Department of Education has released the following guide reflecting the health order changes announced on 1 July 2020. From 1 July, updated health advice and changes to state and national restrictions on children’s sport and community competitions come into effect. However, with the recent developments over the last week, the following applies to school sport in weeks 1 and 2 of Term 3 as directed by Catholic Education Wollongong.

• Interactions between staff from different schools will be minimised where possible. Students visiting external venues will remain in their school groups at all times under the supervision of the teacher.
• Contact sports will remain suspended for the first two weeks of Term 3. We will continue to monitor the situation and public health advice and review this decision in the following weeks of the term.

In addition to this, when attending external venues, the following may apply:

• Students may be asked to have their temperature taken and recorded via a non-contact method (eg – forehead) prior to entry.
• Students may be asked if they are currently unwell or experiencing any flu-like symptoms.
• Students may also be asked to verify if they have attended any current COVID-19 case locations as listed on the NSW Health website (https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates)

The procedures outlined below will continue for Tuesday Afternoon Sport:

• Hand sanitiser will be provided for students and teachers to use before and after sport and physical activity.
• Students need to fill, clearly label and use their own water bottle and towel for all activities.
• Shared equipment will be wiped down and cleaned where appropriate.
• Physical distancing and use of equipment will be taken into account where possible. This includes attempting to keep a physical distance of 1.5m between students where possible.

Reminders

All students are reminded to ensure they are prepared for participation in sport by having appropriate footwear, College hat, water bottle. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they have their own asthma medication, Epipen and/or other necessary medication to participate in Sport. If a student does not have this, they will not be able to leave College grounds and participate in Tuesday Afternoon Sport.

 If a student is unable to participate in Tuesday Sport due to illness or injury, a note must be handed to Mrs Andruschko on Tuesday morning in the top quad from 7.45am to 8.15am. Students who are unable to participate in Tuesday afternoon sport due to injury or medical conditions will be supervised completing individual, silent work during this time.
