How does our school get involved?
Ideally look to form a division with your existing
Physical Education network. Discuss the competition
at your next network meeting. Your Cricket Officer
is also available to attend the meeting to provide
assistance.
Teacher Involvement
Each division requires a teacher to coordinate the
Carnival. This person is responsible for communicating
with the other schools in regards to timing of the
carnival, team nominations and fixturing. Teachers
in charge of teams at each school are responsible for
ensuring their teams are organised, aware of the game
rules and how to score. It is essential that players
are involved in practice games prior to the carnival.
