Independant Sporting Association 

ISA Code of Conduct 

As we move into round 2 of the Summer ISA Sporting Season, we would like to draw your attention to the ISA Code of Conduct for both Players and Spectators. The full document is available on the Secondary School Sport page of Redlands Pulse and we encourage all parents and players to familiarise themselves with the expectations when participating in participating in ISA Sporting competitions.

GUIDELINES FOR PLAYERS 

2.1       Once committed to a sport for the season, players must honour that commitment wholeheartedly. This same commitment applies to ISA representation. (Level of breach: 1, 2 or 3)   

2.2       Players are expected to be modest in success and generous in defeat, not showing in either case undue emotion.  (Level of breach: 1 or 2)   

2.3       Players are also expected to acknowledge, willingly and openly, good play by either school. Players should not celebrate the opposition’s mistakes. (Level of breach: 1)   

2.4       Players should be positive in their approach to games and should adhere strictly to the rules/laws and spirit of the game.  The referee or umpire’s decision is final, and the Captain of the team is the only one who may ask for clarification of a decision at the appropriate time. (Level of breach: 1 or 2)   

2.5       The ISA is committed to a ZERO TOLERANCE approach for any abuse towards officials through negative comments or actions. (Level of breach: 2 or 3)   

2.6       Players shall never resort to violent or abusive language or behaviour or engage in unfair or illegal tactics to gain an advantage.  Racial vilification will not be tolerated under any circumstances. (Level of breach: 2 or 3)   

2.7        Players should be punctual and adhere to their school’s dress code.  The home team – and in particular the Captain should welcome the visiting team and its Captain.  At the conclusion of the game acknowledgment and thanks should be given to referees, umpires, officials such as scorers/touch judges and the opposition. (Level of breach: 1)   

GUIDELINES FOR SPECTATORS 

3.1       Spectators must remember that this is “kids” school sport, let them have fun. It is not the World Cup.    

3.2       Spectators are expected to be positive role models. They must behave respectfully and courteously towards players, coaches, match officials and other spectators. (Level of breach: 1, 2 and 3)  

3.3       Spectators are not to approach or address game officials or any of the opposing players, spectators or staff.  If a spectator has a genuine concern, this needs to be presented to their own school official who will determine any action to be taken. (Level of breach: 1, 2 or 3)  

3.4       Unless invited onto a field/court, spectators must never encroach onto the field/court. (Level of breach: 1, 2 or 3)   

3.5       Barracking should be enthusiastic and positive, but not designed to heckle, denigrate or unsettle opponents.  For example, barracking during a free throw or a kick at goal and so forth is always bad sportsmanship.  (Level of breach 1 or 2)   

3.6       Sledging and negative comments are totally unacceptable. Good play by either team should be recognised by applause. (Level of breach 1 or 2)   

3.7       It is never right to express disapproval of a referee or umpire’s decision, irrespective of his/her age. The ISA is committed to a ZERO TOLERANCE approach for any abuse towards officials through negative comments or actions. (Level of breach 1, 2 or 3)   

3.8       Vocal support for any team should never encourage violence, rough or illegal play.  (Level of breach 2 or 3)   

3.9       Visitors to the grounds should co-operate fully with any regulations or requests made by the host school, such as car parking, seating, dressing rooms and the placing of spectators.  At all times visitors should leave the area tidy and free of rubbish when they leave.  (Level of breach 1, 2 or 3)   

3.10      Alcohol is not to be consumed at ISA fixtures. (Level of breach: 2 or 3)

Basketball

We would like to introduce the Redlands “FAB 5” Girls and “FAB 5” Boys from the week. Nominations are received from each coach after their Saturday games and the team of the week is selected by the Basketball staff. Congratulations to all students selected into the team of the week for Round 5!

Redlands “FAB 5” Girls:

Alex Tanner: With a number of players in foul trouble throughout the game, Alex was required to step up and play all positions at some stage on Saturday. Playing the full 40 minutes and guarding the best player from the opposition, Alex more than stepped up to the challenge! Hitting 4 3’s during the game and making some huge plays down the stretch she was an integral part of the team’s success and helped the team get over the line in a thrilling one-point win.

Lucy Horton: Lucy demonstrated great hustle and tenacity. Out-rebounding taller players, diving on loose balls, sprinting back to cover the basket were among the many contributions Lucy made to the team on Saturday. Not only was her effort and skill-set crucial, but she also displayed a great attitude for the entire game.

Lara Wilson: Lara displayed great leadership qualities over the weekend and always does her best. She is always listening and taking on feedback from the coach to help her develop her skills. 

Mati Carlyon: Mati is a great communicator on the court and is always the first to get back on defence or follow her teammates on the fast break. She scored a beautiful 3-pointer to get the team the win on Saturday.

Annalyse Rowe: Always continuing to look to develop her game and skillset, this week Annalyse put a large number of points on the board for her team. Not only did she have a huge impact on the game offensively, but she also played a pivotal role on the defensive end.

Redlands “FAB 5” Boys:

Jamie Sternberg: Jamie started the first play of the game with a nothing-but-net 3 pointer to get the team going. He nearly finished the game with a double-double in what was a near faultless performance.

James Greer: James looked to be aggressive on offence and made some tough finishes. He kept his composure in some critical moments to secure big stops defensively and get the team going in transition.

Hamish Olsen: Hamish is a clear leader for his team and hustles on both ends of the floor. He is always looking to improve and do what he can to help the team.

Toby Healey: Toby brought fantastic energy once again this week. He was a leader on defence and managed to out-rebound much taller players. He has made some great adjustments over the last few weeks to play tough defence without getting in foul trouble.

Finn Cowan: Finn brough the energy on defence for the entire game and managed to score 16 points of his own. His positive energy was infectious on the court and his celebrations were highlight reel worthy.

Redlands “FAB 5” Coach:

Erin Pacholke: Erin’s energy is unmatched. With the true Redlands’ spirit, she encourages and challenges her players to always do their best. Whether it’s coaching her team, assisting another team or getting the students cheering on the sidelines, she does it all with such passion for the game and with a smile on her face.

A reminder that all teams will play their last round for the term this Saturday 26 November. Best of luck to all of our students, please see game day reminders below:

Rowing

On Saturday 19 November the whole Rowing program attended the Independent School Championships held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith. This is the first time that we get to race against the majority of schools from NSW and the ACT making it the biggest single day regatta of any season.

Our students proved themselves to be very strong against this high standard of competition with 5 gold, 4 silver and 10 bronze medals.

Comparing ourselves against a number of single sex schools, in the overall points score our Boys finished in 4th out of 10 schools while our Girls finished in 4th position out of 24 schools, only being beaten by the very large girls’ schools. However in the combined coed trophy, Redlands won the regatta narrowly beating Kinross. This is an outstanding achievement by our combined program.

Looking ahead, information regarding the holiday training, January rowing camps and the ACT regatta in March will be available for families and students shortly.

Tennis

With the last NSTA round over the weekend ending with some close tiebreaker games, we are moving into the finals round for this competition. Congratulations to Redlands NSTA 1, 5, 8 and 14 who will play off in the finals! Please note all NSTA teams will still compete this weekend whether or not they were ranked 1-2 in their ladder. TNB will also continue with semis on 3 December and finals between only the two 2 teams on 10 December. The Development Squad will have their last training session for the term this weekend as well. With the end of the term drawing closer, please remember that attendance to training and Saturday sessions are still mandatory to ensure you are meeting Representative Sport requirements and you must email Ms Caitlin Wong to explain your absence should you miss out on a session. Wishing the best of luck to all NSTA players for their final match this term!

Here is your draw for this weekend. Congratulations to TNB 2 who are currently sitting at the top of the ladder and likely to make the finals! Please note semi-finals will be next weekend (3 Dec) and should your team make it to the playoff finals, you will then play again on 10 Dec. Emails will be sent out as I receive the results so please make sure you are checking them even when school is finishing up in Week 9.

Please contact Ms Caitlin Wong should you have any questions regarding Summer Tennis.

2022 School Boys and School Girls Tennis Tournament

Wednesday saw a busy day of tennis for Redlands at the 2022 School Boys and School Girls Tennis Tournament, held at Pennant Hills Park. In sunny but windy conditions, teams of Matteo Stucci and Isaac Swann, Jack Petering and Mischa Barton, Jessica Lee and Charlotte Wrigglesworth represented Redlands to the highest standards of skill and sportsmanship.

There were some fantastic results on the day with Isaac and Matteo along with Jessica and Charlotte all progressing further in the tournament. Special mention must go to Jack and Mischa who fought back in their doubles match, narrowly going down finally in a sudden death knockout.

The tournament will continue for the remainder of the week with the entire Redlands Summer Tennis program being represented.

Sailing

This week our sailors were challenged with difficult sailing conditions with large amounts of breeze for the sessions on Thursday. However, the sailors handle the breeze exceptionally with reefs in their Eliott 7’s completing an adventure challenge around the harbour. Once they reached Saturday, the wind had completely died for the start of the session however after a run through of the Vaikobi kit the wind filled in and the sailors were able to sail on the harbour with spinnakers.

This Saturday will be the last of the weekend opportunities to see the vaikobi kit, it will be in the Sports office during the week after the weekend. There will be an order form sent out shortly to explain the details and process. Any issues or questions about the kits please email Mr Pryor at lpryor@redlands.nsw.edu.au or check the website.

Fitness Centre 

For all students using the Fitness Centre space, please continue to be aware of the following changes to the use of the Redlands Fitness Centre. Students are not be able to leave school grounds at the conclusion of their sessions. Students are required to change back into their school uniforms and prepare for 1st Period. To assist with this transition, the Fitness Centre will now be open from 6:30am – 7:55am with students able to join throughout the morning. 

The High Performance sessions for our Redlands 1st Basketballers has been an overwhelming success and I cannot thank our Basketball Captains Oliver Kesby and Emilie Bessell for their support over these past few weeks. These tailored sessions will continue into Term 1 2023 and will also transition into our Winter Rep Sports with sessions tailored towards Netball, Rugby, Football and all other Winter Rep Sports.

We have had brilliant numbers through the Fitness Centre over the past week with students from all Age-Groups utilizing the space across all morning sessions. The Fitness Centre is the perfect space for students to build strength, speed and flexibility, key components of all Rep Sports at Redlands.

The Fitness Centre is an open and inclusive space for all Redlands athletes and, with sessions across all mornings, Monday to Friday, this is a space that can be used by all Age-Groups across the week. 

Sessions start promptly at 6:30am and have sessions tailored towards athletes of any ability, size or skill. 

Students are reminded to bring with them the following.

• A water bottle
• Towel
• Redlands PE / Sports Uniform

We will also shortly be announcing our Holiday Session Schedule which will run in the week prior to school returning in Term 1 2023. Students will be allowed to access the Fitness Centre across multiple sessions and train. Great preparation for both the Summer Sport Season as well as the Winter Sport Pre-Season. 

Sports and students are asked to contact the Director of Athletic Development Mr Jack Gooding jgooding@redlands.nsw.edu.au for any specific questions regarding these sessions or the Fitness Centre space as a whole.
