With summer sport wrapping up with the end of Term 1, thank you to all of the coaches who adjust commitments to support our Mercedes Colelge teams in their busy schedules. Your efforts are very much appreciated by all.

Also a thank you to families who have helped students meet their commitments to training and games regardless of the early hours, and well done to all of our students on their efforts so far this year, it's great to see you all out participating and having fun.

Winter Sports Season
With our Open teams already training for winter, all other teams will begin training in Week 1 and competing in the first 3 weeks of Term 2, subject to the sport and association.

All information, including specific training schedules, will be posted on Stack Team App as details are finalised - thanks for your patience.

Fixtures will be posted once we receive them from our associations, so stay tuned.

Attendance at training and games
A reminder that student attendance is compulsory at all trainings and games. If your child will be absent at any time, please ask them to inform their coach before training sessions start, or at least 24 hours before games (where possible). Contact numbers for your coach can be found on the Stack Team App under the ‘Training/Coach Information’ tabs.

Uniform
Winter sports uniform requirements are summarised on our website. Please arrange these items prior to your child's first competition game.

First Aid
Please ensure your child provides their coach with clearly labelled personal medication (including puffers and epi-pens) before training and games to ensure immediate access in the case of any emergency.

Enjoy a restful break and we look forward to more sporting excitement in Term 2.
