Rationale

SYDNEY SECONDARY COLLEGE SPORT MODEL
Sport is an essential part of the ongoing development of our young people. This Model will enable Sydney Secondary College Sport to develop further ensuring individual student, staff and community needs are catered for. SSC will see increases in the quality of sport, individual student ability, mass participation and increased enrolments at the College by students seeking to pursue their strengths in sport. Ultimately the image, profile and status of Sport will increase at SSC.
Student Needs
Students require, and have shown, a high level of interest in participation at a competitive, non-competitive and talented sport level program. To further develop these areas, we as educators must cater to these needs. Sport is proven to be a great basis for the development of skills directly transferable into industry and within the community to impose a positive influence. These areas include:

• 
  Development of communication skills
  
• 
  Teamwork / Co-operation skills
  
• 
  Self-esteem raising
  
• 
  Building community spirit and sense of belonging
  
• 
  Promotes Healthy Lifestyle and improves fitness
  
• 
  Development of leadership skills and ability
  
• 
  Ability to break socio-economic disadvantage cycle with sport as a career choice and social mobiliser
  
• 
  Development of Gifted and Talented ability
  

Participation

Students within Sydney Secondary College will have the opportunity to participate in Grade Sport from Year 7 to Year 10 in each of Terms 1-4. The Grade Sport competition is conducted each Tuesday afternoon, with students nominating themselves to participate. Students compete in either Bligh, or Northern Zone, based on their choice of sport.

Venues

Year 7 and 8 Grade Sport will be conducted at Central venues within both Bligh and Northern Zone with the Year 9 and 10 competitions being based on a home and away system. The following schools compete in the Grade Sport competition:

Participating Schools

Balmain Campus Burwood Girls

Leichhardt Campus Ryde Secondary College

Hunters Hill Alexandria Park

Fort Street Tempe

Concord Marrickville

Dulwich Hill Newtown

Transport

Students from Sydney Secondary College are to wear their PD/H/PE polo shirt for Grade sport or attire designated to be appropriate for an individual sport. Each team must be attired appropriately each week to compete in the competition. Students participating in contact sports must meet the safety code of that sport determined by the DET “Guidelines for Safe Conduct of Sport and Physical Activity in Schools” manual.

Staff will be offered opportunity to coach grade sport. Staff expertise and experience will be taken into account by the Sports Organiser following staff nominations to allocate appropriate staff to coach sports to best meet the learning needs of students.

Students in Year 10 will be able to nominate as coaches to assist staff in coaching. These nominations will be made through the Sports Organiser and students will be allocated to a sport to assist a teacher in coaching of that sport, providing the Year 10 student with a leadership opportunity. The staff member will maintain all duty of care and responsibility for the team.

Refereeing / Umpiring

Refereeing is the responsibility of each coach and staff member in charge of a team. Year 10 students will be permitted to referee grade sport matches if the student is deemed to be appropriate and competent by the Sports Organiser. If possible each match should be shared equally between the officials of both teams for the benefit of students.

Each team should have a Captain and Vice Captain nominated, with the role being rotated to provide all students in the team an opportunity to experience the responsibility of leadership and decision-making in the team. Year 10 students acting as coaches and referees should be provided with positive mentoring and support from the staff member they are assisting to further develop their leadership skills and competencies.

Students should be encouraged by staff and coaches to bring their own water, highlighting the necessity to drink water to avoid injury through dehydration. Students should also be instructed not to share water bottles due to the spread of disease. Students should be encouraged to wear a hat and use sunscreen to protect them from the harmful effects of the sun.

Point score for the Grade Sport Competition is the responsibility of each coach, reporting weekly results to the Sports Organiser. The Zone is responsible for the administration of the overall competition point score and the provision to each school of results / places and allocation of final positions / Zone Award system.

The Sports Organiser is responsible for collating all student participation in grade sport with SASS staff to enter data on the Central Data Base for Sydney Secondary College Sport Merit. At the completion of Term 3 each year the Sports Organiser in conjunction with the merit system administrator / SASS staff will coordinate the generation of Sport Merit Awards.

All teachers are required to take a first aid kit to their sporting venue and are required to have undertaken the mandatory emergency care training. If a student becomes sick or is injured the teacher is responsible for administering first aid. In the case of serious injury the teacher should contact the school immediately to seek advice and to call an ambulance. Following an injury the teacher is required to complete the “Injury to Student” form located in the Administration block and pass it onto the Principal with any other relevant information or statements.

The College provides staff with professional development in areas of sports coaching and refereeing. Areas of identified need include: running a structured sports specific training session, Student Management and refereeing of sport.

As sports are a mandatory part of the Curriculum, students must actively participate in some form of sport. Non-grade / Recreational sport is an opportunity for students in Years 7-10 to participate in sport with less of an emphasis on competition. This type of sport will allow students to develop skills, fitness and habits encouraging a healthy lifestyle. Non-grade sport is conducted on Tuesday afternoon, the common Sydney Secondary College sports time.

Students will nominate themselves to participate in a sport based on availability of that activity. The students will then remain allocated to that sport for a minimum of 1 term. Should the student wish to change sport they will be required to negotiate with the Sports Organiser before week 3 and make only one change. All non-grade / recreational sports will be Campus based and the responsibility of each Campus to organise.

Cost

All students will pay the annual sport levy and in addition to this, some non-grade and recreational sports have a cost associated with them and the student will be required to pay this cost to remain in the activity. This cost may include bus fare and a fee for the activity. Students will be notified of set costs prior to the selection of their sports each term and semester.

Depending on the individual sport being participated in the transport arrangements will vary. Some activities require students to travel by bus to the venue whilst others are within walking distance of the Campus. Students are required at their sport venue by 1pm (Balmain) and 12.40pm (Leichhardt) with the activity concluding at 2.10pm enabling students to make their way back to their campus to catch buses home. Students participating in sport at school concluding sport at 2.20pm (Leichhardt) and 2.30pm (Balmain)

All students participating in these activities will be required to wear their campus PD/H/PE shorts and PE polo shirt with the appropriate footwear. If students require sport specific attire they are to change at the venue. At the completion of the activity students should change into the PD/H/PE attire for the journey home or back to the campus.

Staff will be offered the opportunity to coach non-grade and recreational sport. Staff expertise and experience will be taken into account by the Sports Organiser following staff nominations to allocate appropriate staff to coach sports to best meet the learning needs of students. The teacher will maintain duty of care and responsibility for all students.

Refereeing is the responsibility of each coach and staff member in charge of a sport. Students will be permitted to referee or umpire matches if they are deemed to be competent by the supervising teacher.

Year 10 students acting as coaches and referees should be provided with positive mentoring and support from the teacher they are assisting to further develop their leadership skills and competencies.

Students should be encouraged to wear a hat and use sunscreen to protect them from the harmful effects of the sun. Students should be encouraged by staff and coaches to bring their own water, highlighting the necessity to drink water to avoid injury through dehydration. Students should also be reminded not to share water bottles due to the spread of disease.

All teachers are required to take a first aid kit to their sporting venue and are required to have undertaken the mandatory emergency care training. If a student becomes sick or is injured the teacher is responsible for administering first aid. In the case of serious injury the teacher should contact the school immediately to seek advice and to call an ambulance. Following an injury the teacher is required to complete the “Injury to Student” form located in the Administration block and pass it onto the Principal with any other relevant information or statements.

The Sports Organiser will collate all student participation in non-grade sport with SASS staff to enter data on the Central Data Base for Sydney Secondary College Sports Merit System.

Year 11 sports afternoon will remain on a Wednesday afternoon and is the responsibility of the Senior Campus to organise.

Students at Sydney Secondary College should be encouraged to trial and participate as members of State Knockout competitions in their age group. Any students seeking to enter a knockout team should see their Sports Organiser to attain the relevant information. Sports Organisers will advertise knockout sport opportunities for students and in conjunction with the Coach organise trials and training times for the teams.

Sports Organisers will seek expressions of interest and nominations for coaches and managers during Term 4 each year in preparation for the forthcoming year. The Sports Organiser will take into account staff qualifications, expertise and experience when selecting a coach. The coach selected will best meet the learning needs of the students.

Year 10, 11 and 12 students are encouraged to nominate as coaches to assist staff in coaching / managing. Nominations are to be made through the Sports Organiser on form below (p12). The student is then responsible for assisting the teacher in coaching and preparation of the team, these students attending all training sessions and matches played by their knockout team (to be negotiated if assessment tasks are on at the time). This opportunity provides the student with valuable leadership experience. The teacher is encouraged to positively mentor the students. The teacher shall, at all times, maintain duty of care and responsibility for the team.

The coach is responsible for reporting all results back to the Sport Convener, attaining / returning relevant uniforms from and to the sports organiser, and the subsequent liaising with other schools about following rounds to be played. This includes organising venues, transport and referees of “home” matches.

To participate in a Sydney Secondary College knockout sport team students will be required to wear the appropriate attire designated for that sport inclusive of safety equipment set down by the DET Sport Guidelines Policy Document.

Refereeing of knockout matches is to be organised by the “home team”. The referee must hold the appropriate competency as required by the Department of Education and Training. For more detail http://www.sports.det.nsw.edu.au/spguide/injucoun.htm

Each team should have a Captain and Vice Captain nominated. Where appropriate the role should be rotated to provide all students in the team with an opportunity to experience leadership and decision making in the team. Year 10 students acting as Coaches and referees should be provided with positive mentoring and support from the staff member they are assisting to further develop their leadership skills and competencies.

Where possible each coach should provide a written match report to the Sports Organiser to be posted on the College Website and in Campus / College Newsletters. Coaches should encourage students to write the match report.

The coach of each knockout team will provide the Sports Organiser a team list to be entered onto the College Sport Merit System Data Base.

Students seeking financial support due to socioeconomic circumstances will need to apply to the Principal and access the Student Assistance Scheme. Students seeking sport representation funding will need to apply to the P&C of each Campus and based on individual circumstances the P&C will allocate up to $200 a student in one calendar year. To be eligible to apply students must qualify to a minimum of Sydney East representation

All teachers are required to take a first aid kit to their sporting venue and are required to have undertaken the mandatory emergency care training. If a student becomes sick or is injured the teacher is responsible for administering first aid. In the case of serious injury the teacher should contact the school immediately to seek advice and to call an ambulance. Following an injury the teacher is required to complete the “Injury to Student” form located in the Administration block and pass it onto the Principal with any other relevant information or statements.

All team lists must be provided to the front office with dates and times of matches. This is to enable SASS staff to accurately account for student attendance. This is to be completed prior to any match being played. Following the match an attendance list should be provided to SASS staff to cross-reference with the original list enabling accounting for absences. Coaches are responsible under normal excursion guidelines to provide cover for their classes when competing in matches during school hours. If a team qualifies beyond the fourth round, semi final or final of a State Knockout the College Concessional Allowance should provide relief to the Coach / Staff member responsible for the team in recognition of their time and effort.

Students should be encouraged by staff and coaches to bring their own water, highlighting the necessity to drink water to avoid injury through dehydration. Students should also be instructed not to share water bottles due to the spread of disease.

The College Sports Organisation Group will seek to contact sporting associations to provide courses for staff wishing to attain further qualifications or become qualified in coaching or refereeing a sport. Please approach your Sports Organiser should you be wishing to qualify as a coach or referee.
