Sports information is available on this page and at the school office. Registrations are made via parent's myKindo accounts. When registrations open a notice is placed on the school's Facebook page and children are advised through the daily notices read out in class each morning. Please ensure that registrations are completed promptly. Once children have been placed in teams (apart from volleyball) each child will be given a team list with their team member's names on it as well as the coach's name and contact details. Volleyball team lists are posted on the sports noticeboard.
The sports noticeboard is located outside Room 13. This is where you can find draws, cancellation notices and also holiday programme information. Team lists are also posted here for teams that are involved in Interschool events.
