COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

All complaints need to be made through the After School Sports Co-ordinator. Do not approach the Sporting Code direct, ie Netball North Harbour, etc. All complaints should be in writing via email. As per our school procedures please allow two school days for a response. When emailing, please ensure that you include your child’s sporting code and team if applicable, in the subject line.

In order to fully investigate the issue raised, the After School Sports Co-ordinator may need to meet with team members, parents, coaches, managers, sporting providers, etc. Please allow at least 10 working days for this process to take place.

A one on one meeting may be preferred to discuss issues raised.

All discussions are to work toward our aim to encourage fairplay and sportsmanship, whilst providing the opportunity for children to develop social, communication, teamwork and a range of sport specific skills in a friendly, fun environment.

If a positive outcome cannot be achieved at this stage, then the Principal may become involved to work toward a successful resolution.
