Season Jobs Thank you to everyone who will pitch in this season with various rowing jobs. If you need to contact anyone who holds a particular role, then see their allocation on the website: https://ocrowingclub.weebly.com/current-season-roles.html Onslow College Sports Awards Congratulations to all of our rowing Sports Awards nominees and winners:
IMPORTANT - Finance Update With the recent growth in the number of rowers we have out grown our old finance system. Moving forward OCRC will be moving across to the Onslow College finance system. This comes with some added benefits as you will now:
To access the Parent Portal login at https://portal.onslownet.school.nz/Pages/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f If you prefer to pay by internet banking or make regular smaller payments then you can continue to do so. Just switch your payment to the Onslow College bank account; ONSLOW COLLEGE 123174 0265002 00 If paying online by Internet Banking please ensure to use your Account Code, student name and “ROWING” in the payment details to ensure payment is applied to your School Account correctly. Your Account Code is on top of all invoices sent out by the school or can be found in the Debtors Dashboard within the portal. Your account code is usually the first five letters of your surname followed by two numbers e.g. SMITH01 If you have any questions feel free to contact our Treasurer, Mike Woods at [email protected] or on 0272776677 Please do not use the previous rowing account for any future payments. Uniform payments are the last use of the old account. WRC Subs due now A final payment of $550 for rowers and $50 for coxswains is due in now. This completes payment of the club season subs of $750 for a rower and $250 for a coxswain. This fee is on your Onslow school account. Uniforms Uniforms have been ordered on the goodwill that all payments will be completed. So if you have not paid yet, then please do so ASAP. Thank you! As stated above, uniform payments still need to go into our old rowing account. This is the last use of the old rowing account. LTR Incident Report Submissions were requested by school email on the 14 Oct, which was sent to the whole OCRC group, asking for feedback on the LTR camp incident. These submissions are currently being collated and summarised by OC Deputy Principal Penny Kinsella and together with Principal Sheena Millar, they will provide a presentation to the OCRC Executive Committee next week. Any recommendations, improvements, changes in processes, or assurance of compliance to water safety procedures etc will be documented by Penny into a report that will be provided to the wider OCRC group. This report is expected to be available in early November. Parent Help request for camps and regattas If you would like to help at any of the season camps and regattas, then please let Stephanie know. [email protected] Being part of the action is always good fun. It’s a great chance to spend time with your teenager and their mates! So first off the block is KR1 at Karapiro which is only 6 weeks away.
See the regatta and camp schedule on the website: https://ocrowingclub.weebly.com/regattas--camps.html Rowit - https://www.rowit.co.nz/ This is a great site for parents to keep in touch with the live results while the students are away at regattas. View the Day Sheet for race events, times and results. Rowers can also check their race entries here. New members and those not yet signed up, should ask to be added to the 'Onslow College Rowing' Facebook page. This is a good way of a keeping up with reminder notices for regatta trips and events, as well as photos and other things happening with the club. Finally, good luck to all or our seniors sitting exams soon. Nga mihi Stephanie https://ocrowingclub.weebly.com/
