SEA is not a formal element of any sport faculty in the College. It is not 'training' for Saturday Sport, as this occurs during the formal school day each week.
SEA Sport courses are bound by safe limits for each venue and code. These limits are not within the control of SEA administrators, and are restricted by finite physical resources. For example, 100 boys cannot play football on the same court safely, or learn effectively in this manner. Accordingly, SEA group caps remain unchanged and cannot be extended to reflect interest or a student’s prior participation. No discussion will be entered on this matter.
SEA Sport enables boys to try codes with which they otherwise may not engage through their Saturday teams. It is also an opportunity for Year 2 boys (who do not participate in the Saturday Sport program) to explore options prior to Year 3.
These are not talent-development programs, nor do they form an official part of a boys’ pathway to excellence in later years. Accordingly, should your son miss out on an SEA sport preference, he is not disadvantaged in his sport journey throughout the College and is encouraged to attend morning ‘Skills’ courses which are open to Years 3-6 each morning.
In the event that SEA is cancelled due to wet weather or misadventure, you will receive a text message from the course Coordinators.
