Message from the Principal
Thank you for reading this Handbook on Sports processes and procedures at St Mary’s College. It has been
produced to facilitate communication between students’ parents, coaches, managers and school
leadership. This will ensure that the focus in sport is on participation and enjoyment and that students are
supported to reach the level they are capable of, and in a way that incorporates our Mercy Values.
St Mary’s College views extra-curricular activities as an essential part of forming Mercy Women of the 21st
Century, and we offer a holistic vision for our students. We are focused on providing activities that
enhance the wellbeing of all while building relationships with teachers and adults who have a positive
impact on the lives of our young women.
Sports is an extra-curricular activity and receives no government funding. We rely on parents’
contributions and financial support while having measures in place to ensure sport is accessible to all,
regardless of financial circumstances. Our Parent, Teachers and Friends Association, the Past Pupils
organisation, Board of Trustees and Board of Proprietors all provide support through various means and I
would encourage you to support their activities that will benefit our students.
We have high levels of participation in sport with over 60% of students taking part in some form of sport.
There is a great deal of success up to Representative level and in 2018 we have had 9 New Zealand
representatives.
No matter what level your daughter or team participates in, I would like to wish them success and
enjoyment as they reap the benefits of involvement in a sporting activity.
Yours in Mercy
Bernadette Stockman

Message from the Director of Sport
Through the direction of the Board of Directors, Board of Trustees and support of our PTFA, St Mary’s College
has seen significant investment in sporting facilities and sports staff.
Our focus for 2019 and beyond is to increase the number of students taking part in physical activity. We offer
a wide variety of sports to meet the needs of our students. We will also support our top teams and individual
athletes, to enable them to be competitive at regional and national level.
The success of sport at St Mary’s College is highly dependent on the volunteer support from our community
by way of coaches, managers, and support with fundraisers to enrich the community experience.

Team managers will be contacted once notification of cancellations have been
received and will inform all team members. Last minute cancellations will be
advised via a notification on the school app.
Registration Fees
All registration fees must be paid before a student can participate. Once a student
is named in a team, she is committed to that team. Withdrawing her after being
named will result in a forfeit of the registration fees.
Uniforms
Where a uniform is provided, the uniform must be returned in good condition, at the
conclusion of the program. Any uniform not returned or returned damaged will
result in a $60 charge being added to the students account.
School PE Uniforms, tracksuits and netball skirts can be purchased from Elizabeth
Michael Ltd. (www.elizabethmichael.co.nz/)
Number of Sports
A student may only take part in two regular sports per winter or summer season.
There is no limit on the amount of one day events.
Playing up and Premier selection
Students must play in their own age group and not play up in a higher aged team
or competition. Students in Year 9 or below are not eligible for selection into a
Premier team. Exceptional circumstances will be considered with the final decision
being made by the Director of Sport and/or Principal.
Tournaments
To be eligible to attend multi-day tournaments, student attendance rate must be at
a minimum of 90%. Tournament approval is at the discretion of the Deans, Director
of Sport and/or Principal. All Sports fees must be paid before a student can be
entered for multi-day tournaments.

months prior to any intended fundraising activity. The Director of Sport will liaise

Values and Special Character.

Requests for grants or funding may be sought for assistance with tournaments,
equipment or other purposes. Any request must be for the benefit of groups rather
than individuals. The request must be submitted to the Director of Sport at least
three months prior to funding being required. The Director of Sport will liaise with
the Principal and Development Manager, and a decision will be made as to whether
an application will be carried out on your behalf. All decisions are final and are at
the discretion of these parties.
