PE Lessons

Year 1-10 students will have two PE lessons per week.  We begin our year training for TCAS Athletics Day to be held on Friday 21st February. After that we will focus on Swimming, with our Swimming Sports to be held on Friday 27th March.

Students in Room 19 and above are expected to wear TCAS PE top with shorts or tights at each lesson including appropriate sporting footwear, for junior students this is optional.

Year 1-7 students are part of the South West Otago Sports Activator programme with Shae Robertson coming to school three times per term.

PE Timetable

When classes move over to the pool, Junior teachers may request parent help to supervise the students.

Sports Uniform

While representing TCAS at sporting events students are to wear a TCAS PE top with either plain black or blue shorts or tights. When attending ‘sporting events’ students will be issued a numbered tracksuit which incurs a $2 hire fee. This covers wear and tear. Any lost items or major repairs may incur a replacement fee.

PE tops can be purchased from the Office at $40.  The Sports Department has a small selection of sizes that can be issued with the tracksuit for ‘one-off sporting events’ for younger students.  Year 5 and above students are required to wear one for PE classes 

Optional TCAS Sports Hoodies are available. These are something students can wear to attend sporting events but ARE NOT part of the daily school uniform. Sample sizes are at the Students Centre with orders placed when there is enough demand.

Google Forms and communication

When sporting opportunities are available, details are added to the ‘daily notices’ informing the students of how to sign up. These details are also included in the newsletter for parents to read.

Parents of those students who have shown interest will then receive a Google Form email with all details about the activity including time, place, cost, transport required etc.     

Most communication will be via email, as we have found this is the quickest and most effective way to communicate with parents.

Fees - Costs

The majority of sporting activities will incur a fee and are required to be paid prior to the date set out in the Google Form. If payment is a concern, smaller frequent payments can be made. Call in to see the Principal to discuss other support we can put in place to ensure your child stays engaged in Sport.

Payments can be made by Cash or Cheque at the Office or by Direct Credit into Bank Account No. 03-1734-0006633-00 with Particulars - ‘Activity' i.e Netball, Reference - Family name.
