President Dave has requested that all applicants who have successfully been given positions take thanks back to their principals.
It is most exciting that so many positions were filled at this meeting, and it is hoped that the other positions will soon be filled.
Schools that have yet to fulfill their quotas assuming they will confirm the following positions include: Bomaderry (1), Callala (1), Culburra (2), SHPS (1), Small Schools (2).
A Draft SDPSSA Calendar was presented at the end of 2010, with the word draft on it. As the Sth Coast Calendar has changed, a new draft (in blue) is now current. The latest SCSSA calendar was downloaded from the SCSSA website today – which has caused the revision of our calendar. All of our trials will remain constant, other than the venue of the SDPSSA District Swimming Carnival, which will be held at Bomaderry Pool instead of Nowra.
Motion: Request any changes in SCSSA Calendar be notified to District Presidents and Dist Secretaries via email, along with a statement of the items which have been changed with new calendar, PLUS new calendar sent out to all schools similar to the fashion it is currently done.
Mortyn/ Bellamy carried.
SDPSSA 2011 Swimming Carnival: Peter Collins (2010 convenor whilst at IRPS, now NNPS in 2011) has most of the organization for the carnival in hand for this year. Details will be on the SDPSSA website by Monday.
Raylene Collins has offered to operate her watches for the carnival. They commence with the gun, and have to be manually stopped. Suggestion that 3 back-up watches be used to ensure there is no problems in running the carnival.
John Macintosh is unavailable for our carnival, but John Morris is.
Computers: As this carnival has to be run alongside with stop watches using ‘Meet Manager’, schools will be requested to make entries in the following manner: Schools using the SDPSSA’s program ‘Carnival Manager’, will be requested to do so, and present the information to Peter Collins in that format – who will then have people to transfer it into Meet Manager format into the district Carnival. Schools not using the ‘Carnival Manager’ program will have to present the information to Peter Collins in an excel spreadsheet format, which they will obtain from Peter, prior to submitting their entries.
Bob has been requested to send Greg Lloyd an electronic copy of the 2009 swimming inservice notes, with the view that schools will adhere to the standards of competitors sent to the SDPSSA District carnival capable of competing properly without disqualification.
NB. As with last year, Dave Adams will obtain trophies for the year for all of our carnivals. Could he do this again this year please?
SCSSA Convenors: Since the appointment for convenors at last year’s SCSSA’s AGM, two new positions have been required. Both have been filled by SDPSSA members: LeAnn Hanson has taken on Girls Cricket at both Zone and Regional Level – due to the appointee gaining a transfer during the holidays; and Dave Adams has been awarded the SCSSA Golf trials.
Motion: Suzanne Cato has retired from teaching, and as a Life Member of SDPSSA, we send her a suitable floral tribute, thanking her for her involvement in SDPSSA. Hansen/ Collins carried.
Libby to action.
There was some discussion as to an ‘Obesity Kit’ which is available. Schools are recommended NOT to suggest the use of this kits, (telling parents that their children are overweight!!!!), but may wish to inform parents of the kits availability via their newsletters as a general statement.
Application forms for teachers to officiate at SCSSA carnivals can be found on the SCSSA website.
President Dave informed the meeting of the AFL days which have been planned by AFL development officer John Dyball, suggesting that all days are very worthwhile.
Libby to write to all nominated patrons, requesting their patronage for 2011.
Meeting closed: 5.15pm
