*** This site is still under construction ***
The Vex IQ Tournament will take place in the Hall, located in the heart of Mount Barker HS.
Parking is very limited on-site, especially for minibuses and vans. Small buses/minivans could use the rear carpark as a drop-off point only, through the gate on Stephenson St. For day parking, use the road at the Keith Stephenson Park carpark. Enter via Flaxley Road.
There is a crossing point on Flaxley Road. Be careful, as cars have right of way. Please give a courtesy wave to drivers if they stop for you.
You will sign-in at the venue (no need to visit the front office).
All adults on site must have a current Working With Children Check (WWCC). Because it is mandatory for all state teachers and SSO's, we only ask for visiting adult volunteers to provide their certificates. Please email visitor volunteer certificates to timothy.rodgers687@schools.sa.edu.au
There will be a sign-in desk at the entrance to the Hall, so you won't need to sign in at the Front Office. All visitors are required to sign in.
Refreshments will be provided for all staff and volunteers for morning tea. Lunch will be provided for all volunteers.
Watch this space for the students at recess - we are working on it 😉
Canteen menu - rotates, as per rorys.com.au
Cash and cards are accepted at the canteen.
The BEST way to get what you want from the canteen (best range, guaranteed choice) is to order it through the Qkr! app:
Download Qkr! from your app store.
Within the app, an adult will need to add a card.
Search for Mount Barker High School and add a new 'Child' (even if it is a staff member) and select Guest for the 'Year' and 'Caregroup' drop-down options.
If you use the app as a guest on the day, you will get your food delivered to the tournament venue.
Advice is to setup the app the day before, as the order needs to be completed by 8:30 am on the day.
If you do not place an order, you can still use the canteen during the breaks. It is located right near the Hall. Queue at the left door. Please adhere to their rules of 5 students maximum in the canteen at a time.
There will be more information published and emailed, but arrival time and check-in will likely be from 8:15 am. Practice time is likely to be 8:30 - 9:00 am, with the Opening Ceremony at 9:15 am.
Our school break times are 30 minutes each, with the canteen open between these times:
RECESS: 10:30 - 11:00 am
LUNCH: 1:15 - 1:45 pm
At this stage, it is likely finals and presentations will be after lunch, with a finish time of around 2:30 or 3 pm.
