JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Week 3
MISA teams were finalised today, with Round 1 starting next week. Congratulations to those students who were successful. For those students who missed out, there are many future opportunities to represent JTCC so keep an eye out on the Sport Bulletin Board in the A-block corridor and on the Compass Newsfeed.
Today saw our Year 7, 8 and 9/10 REC Sport Rotations successfully kick off, with fantastic participation by the majority of students. A small number of students still need to have consent given on the ‘General Sport Permission Note’. Please ring the school if you have issues logging in or accessing Events.
The next few weeks will see John Therry participate in the Diocesan Boys and Girls Touch Football, Tennis Teams event and the Diocesan Swimming Carnival. Team meetings, trials and training will be held soon, students are encouraged to read the Compass Newsfeed. Students who have been selected in teams already for Tennis and Boys Touch Football should have received their permission notes on Compass.

A reminder that our key communication tool is Compass. This is used for a wide variety of purposes, including accessing student attendance information, school reports, student timetables and positive and negative incidents in the classroom. Parents can update their details in the compass app and provide permission for events. At present, we require the sport permission event in compass to be responded to as soon as possible to avoid having students miss out on sport next week.
The link below provides a simple overview of compass for parents, and all parents who have not logged in yet should have received an email from the school today with their login details.

Please contact the school if you are having any difficulty accessing compass. Once set up I am sure you will find it very beneficial.
