Australian Rules Football
Absences
Where possible, students should take personal responsibility for advance notification of absence from training by emailing the team manager with an appropriate explanation. Additional notification from the parent is always appreciated but we like the students to take responsibility in the first instance.
Weather Policy
Host schools will have the discretion to cancel fixtures due to hail, lightning, rain or extreme heat. The decision to suspend a game can be made by the Executive Officer, Referee, Venue Coordinator and/or by Coaches. For all other instances please see the Weather Policy tab above. For home games, if the BOM website forecasts temperature to be 37 degrees or higher for outdoor sports, games will be cancelled or postponed.
Parent Support
Please support your child and the College by ensuring your child’s attendance at training and games. In addition, please attend matches yourself whenever possible. Please also assist the coach by scoring, umpiring or supervising when necessary. Some coaches may include a roster to share the load. Your assistance in being on time when dropping off and picking up from venues is appreciated.
