Copies of Sports Draws and results for mid-week sports competitions are available from Canterbury
School Sport on their website – www.canterbury.schoolsport.org.nz.
Other weekend sports have their own websites – these are noted with the sports information in this
booklet.
Any queries should be directed to the St Margaret’s College Sports Office.

                                                                                                 -5-
Rights and Responsibilities
St Margaret’s College believes in educating the whole person and Sport is an important vehicle
through which students will learn life skills and have key values reinforced. Teamwork, responsibility,
honesty and perseverance are essential.

Sport involvement will provide opportunity for students to have fun, make friends and improve
physical skills and fitness.

Rights

¨     All students can expect to be challenged in a safe and supportive environment

¨     Equipment and facilities will be appropriate and adequate

¨     Coaches and managers will understand the level of skill and student expectations

¨     Appropriate goals will be set by coaches, managers and athletes

Responsibilities

St Margaret’s College students will –

¨     understand the need to be role models and ambassadors when representing the school

¨     wear the uniform proudly

¨     show real commitment and determination to improve

¨     be modest in victory and humble in defeat

¨     will acknowledge the Fair Play Charter and show respect to all opposition, officials and
      spectators

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Failure to participate for the school in an appropriate manner and fulfilling set responsibilities may
result in a partial suspension or permanent removal from a specific code or from school sport.

St Margaret’s College Sports Awards
Senior Sport – Years 11-13
Colours

This is the highest achievement in sport at St Margaret’s College and it allows the selected students
to purchase and wear the Red Blazer. This Honours Award (Colours) is for girls in Years 11-13 who
have performed to an outstanding level in their sport in top College competition, given service through
coaching and/or promoted their sport through their actions as role models to younger students and
ambassadors while representing St Margaret’s College.

The criteria listed below are guidelines only and the awarding of Colours is not automatic. Guidelines
specific to the individual codes are available from the Sports Department and are in addition to the
general criteria listed below.

Colours are presented twice during the year for Year 13 and for Year 9-13 at the annual Sports
Dinner.

Recipients of Colours must:

§       Represent St Margaret’s College in their recognised sport for a minimum of TWO full seasons
§       Give service to sport through coaching, umpiring or active promotion and administration
§       Be recognised by associated coach(es) and sports personnel at St Margaret’s College as
        outstanding performers in their sport
§       Gain provincial, regional or national representative selection at secondary schools’ level or
        above (normally Under 18)
§       Be recognised by appearance and behavior at practice, in competition and around the College
        as a true role model for younger students
§       Be an ambassador for St Margaret’s College at all times
§       Performance and service to sport at a previous school will be taken into consideration

Pockets

Pockets are awarded to students in Years 11-13 for achievement in their chosen sport. This is a
patch that is worn on the Pocket of the school blazer. A Pocket must be earned before consideration
is given to the awarding of Colours. A high standard of athletic achievement is required – with some
individual codes such as Athletics and Swimming, a specific time or distance is required to be
achieved consistently. In team sports, coaches ‘rank’ students on their ability and contribution to the
team.

                                                                                                   -7-
Middle School Sport – Years 7-10
Year 7-10 students have the opportunity to gain Middle School Badges for excellence in sporting
performance while representing St Margaret’s College. An exceptional sports girl who has gained
this recognition can then apply for Middle School Colours in Years 9 and 10. The Middle School
Colour is recognised with a red band on the green blazer.

Consideration is given to a student who:

§     Displays exceptional athletic performance as part of the top selected ‘Senior’ St Margaret’s
      College team that gains top results at National or Provincial level.
§     Achieves outstanding results while competing and representing St Margaret’s College in an
      individual sport

Red Roses
Red Roses are awarded at Assemblies to girls who have been placed 1st or 2nd in a New Zealand
Championship event in the highest grade of competition available to them.

Sports Dinner
The annual Sports Dinner is held in late October every year to celebrate and acknowledge the
achievements of student athletes and coaches. This is the major Sports Awards evening that is open
to students from Years 7-13 and their parents and family members.

Sports Committee
The role of the Sports Committee is to maintain standards and comparability amongst the various
sports and activities and to make decisions re awarding of Colours, Pockets, Middle School Colours
and Badges. The Committee revises or amends sporting achievement criteria. Proposals and ideas
can be forwarded to the Convenor of each sport to be discussed by the Sports Committee.

The Committee reserves the right to make decisions where it considers exceptional circumstances
are involved.

‘Sign Up / Registration’ will be held on Thursday 1 February in the Gymnasium from 3.00-4.00pm for
Term 1 Summer Sport and Winter Codes.

Term 4 Sport will have a further sign-up at the end of Term 3.

Numbers of girls ‘signing up’, availability of teachers and/or other adult support at venues or with
teams could determine whether the sport goes ahead in any one season.

Most sports are played on Wednesday unless stated.
