Letter to Parents 11th Sept

Dear Parents

As the new Athletics Coordinator at ICS I would like to apologize for inconvenience that may have occurred concerned with the organisation of swimming at ICS over the last few weeks. It has been a real frustration that we have not been able to develop a consistency in the organisation of swimming due to the off & on again opening of our school pool.

We have hit another problem with pool and it is now empty for maybe 3-4 weeks. For the next 2 weeks we would like to operate the following schedule

Monday 15th Sept Public Holiday
Tuesday 16th Sept MS to swim meet
Wednesday 17th Sept MS to Ma On Shan
Thursday 18th Sept HS to Ma on Shan

Monday 22nd Sept HS to Ma on Shan
Tuesday 23rd Sept MS to swim meet
Wednesday 24th Sept MS to Ma On Shan
Thursday 25th Sept HS to Ma on Shan

However, we have swim meets that are taking place and numbers are restricted as not all students are prepared for these events and a selection process is carried out by our swimming coaches - Ms Larned & Mr Metz. Unfortunately not all students will be able to be involved. Generally only proven swimmers will attend these meets.

Since these meets also fall on a practice afternoons - Scheduled Swimming for that age group will be cancelled and coaches will be away with swim team

Travelling to Events – It is really important that all swimmers get to buses on time especially when we are travelling to Hong Kong Island. Buses will have a 3.00pm departure time – leaving at 3.15 or later means we will be definitely late. Remember to excuse yourself from class 5 – 10 minutes before 3.00pm.

Communicating information –
Everyone needs to learn where information can be accessed especially swimmers. Students also need to inform their parents where this information can be found.

First port of call will be eClass all announcements concerning sport will be made on eclass any information will be placed in assignments. Personal information like list of swimmers will be on eclass.

Second port of call will be our ICS Sports News -webpage

This a very important link as each week it will have all the activities that are happening for the following week. Games, Venues, departure & arrival times etc. This should help students & parents plan their week.

This page also has links for all sports & the playing schedule for the season. Therefore, this gives people time to plan in advance. If you have any question please feel free to contact me.

Yours in His service
