Introduction

Scots College offers a wide range of school activities for boys’ participation. The school encourages involvement in sporting and cultural activities as Scots recognises both as being important parts of a young person’s education and development. The aim of this booklet is to give information so that parents and boys can gain some idea of what is involved in each activity, the possible costs involved and the likely time commitment.

It is generally expected that a boy will play one summer sport and one winter sport for the school.

It is anticipated that a boy will participate for the school and not a club side if the activity is offered by the school, though exceptions may be considered.

In choosing to participate in any activity it is important that a boy considers carefully his time availability. He should not over-commit himself to the detriment of his academic work. It is also important that once a commitment is made to an activity, that that commitment is seen through to the end of the year/season. This is especially important for College Sport Wellington summer competitions, which run in Term 1 and continue in Term 4.

Occasionally clashes may arise between activities. For this reason it might be helpful to consider the ‘major’ sports at Scots as Athletics, Basketball, Cricket, Football, Hockey and Rugby. It is unusual for a boy to play more than one of these during a season. Further, if a boy participates in one of these, it is regarded as his primary sport and it would take priority in any

possible clash, practices and/or matches.

SPORTS UNIFORMScots College is a uniform school and any student representing the school is expected to be dressed in the appropriate sports uniform and to be wearing that uniform with pride. The College Shop (Manager: Mrs. Debra Short Phone: 04 380 8536) stocks all items of sports uniform.

As a general guide the following are the uniform expectations of some of the ‘major’ sports:

Athletics College singlet (white) & black shots

Basketball College basketball singlet (supplied) & black shorts

Cricket White longs, white shirt & white floppy or College hat

FAIRPLAYScots College is a signatory to SPARC FairPlay and endorses completely that, in playing sport at Scots College, students will:• enjoy themselves• play within the rules• respect the referees and umpires• respect the opposition and their supporters• be gracious winners and dignified losers• play hard but fair

COACHES & MANAGERSMost teams at Scots College are coached by members of the teaching staff. In a situation where an outside coach is used, as far as is practicable a staff member is attached to a team as Manager, to act as liaison between the coach and the school.

We welcome any parental assistance and a parent should feel free to contact the AP Co-curricular if they feel they would like to offer their services.

Briefly, the role of a coach/manager is:• to be responsible for team selection.• to organise pratices and matches as appropriate.• to ensure that the tenets behind the Fairplay Sports Charter are adhered to by all

participants (not just players)• to ensure that participation by members of his/her squad is equitable• to ensure weekly results reach the Director of Sport

COSTSMost activities offered by the school have inbuilt costs associated with them. In order to defray some of those costs, fees are charged against most sports. The fees are charged through a boy’s account but parents should feel free to query any such charge.

In 2017 a “sign up” fee will be charged. A boy is liable for that fee if he then chooses to withdraw from the activity without a reasonable excuse.

Fees vary from activity to activity and are set each year according to the projected costs of the activity. These may include any of, for example :• subscriptions to national & local sports organisations• subscriptions to College Sport Wellington• hiring of public facilities (eg National Hockey Stadium, Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre)• gear purchasing and repair• cost of hired transport on a weekly basis (minibuses, shuttle vans etc.)

The figures given in this booklet should be regarded as a guide only.

Costs incurred for inter-school fixtures (transport etc.) or attendance at a tournament are fully cost recoverable and boys will be charged separately on those occasions.

REGISTRATIONSAll registrations will be done on-line. More details about the process will be sent out by email.


INTERSCHOOL FIXTURESThe Middle and Senior Schools all have interschool fixtures played over and above the normal
