Footy Tipping 2023


Good Evening Everyone,
More information here about our Footy Tipping for this year. More or less the same as last year so it should be familiar to returning players.
Cost:
Once again the cost of the tipping will be $30. Please hand this straight to the office prior to round 1.
Entering Tips:
Reminders will be sent when a round is going to commence.  You simply tip the teams that you think are going to win. You will also be required to tip a winning margin for the first game of the round. This is what determines positions on the ladder if you are the same points as others  (How close you get to the actual margin)
You get 1 point for each correct tip and the adjusted margin will accumulate each round and will show in brackets next to your points. (Obviously, the lower the number in the brackets the better)
Submit:
Once you have selected your teams, please remember to press submit!
Changing Tips:
You are able to change your tips right up until each game begins.
Forgetting to Tip:
However, If you forget to enter the entire round, you get the same score as the person who scored the lowest for that round (I think with a max of 5)  You do not get the away teams.
A Draw:
You can not tip a draw. When teams draw, everyone gets a point
Winnings:
  • 1st Prize  60%
  • 2nd Prize 30%
  • 3rd Prize 10%
Actual amounts will be determined once all members are signed up.
Weekly Winners:
The person who gets the highest tipping score of the round is the weekly winner. This person’s name will be incorporated into the weekly poem.
Weekly Poem:
Each week I will attempt to recap the weekend’s events, and how the SGP ladder is shaping up in the form of a poem. Last season I wrote acrostic and haiku poems. I am still far from a genius but will strive to send something out each week.

It’s just easier to enter the tips and do everything from your phone.
Returning players should still be able to see the competition when they log back in.
New players can join the competition using the link below.
Banter- It’s already started!! 
Don’t hold back 😎… Footy creates a lot of fun banter and conversation!!
I will be following my Bombers every week, hoping for the best and expecting the worst 🙂
Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know or if you still need help signing up.
May the countdown continue!
In friendly competitiveness

nforma – Early leavers

Good afternoon all,

I have noticed with some of the afternoon rolls that students who have left early are getting marked as a whole afternoon absence.
If a student leaves school before 1:35pm it is a whole afternoon absence but if the student has left after 1:35pm it is considered an early dismissal.
There is a drop down box next to each student where you can select the time the student left and this will change “present” to “Early departure from school”

Reminder: Afternoon rolls MUST be marked once you bring the students back in from second break.

Thanks
Leah

Tomatoes and zucchini

Tomorrow I will be putting some zucchini, squash and some nice tomatoes in the lunch room for a donation. They will be there for a few days and the jar will be on the bench for your money. I also have some fresh herbs for a donation but will only cut them if you order them so they are not wasted so contact me if you would like any. At the moment I have some Basil, Rosemary, Garlic Chives, Sage and Tarragon and Chives.

 

Thanks     Geoff                                 

Nforma Username Change

Good Morning Everyone,

Please be aware that your usernames when logging into Nforma are now your Google Username minus the @stgeorgepreca.catholic.edu.au

I’ve just sent password reset links out to those teachers who weren’t able to make the 2 hour window for changing their password the other day. Please make sure that this is done this morning before you mark the roll.

Any issues, please contact me 🙂

nForma

Good afternoon all,

For those of you who were able to get on to nForma today, you would have noticed it looks a bit different.
Please make sure you refer to the user guide that was posted on the Staff Desktop yesterday as I noticed there were a few errors today with the late arrivals/early dismissals. Eg: Students being marked absent for the whole afternoon when they were only picked up 30mins before school finishing time.

Also a reminder that the afternoon rolls MUST be marked when the students return from second break. This is really important as it is a Legal requirement and will show up on the students reports as an unexplained afternoon absence if not marked.

I understand the new update will take sometime to get use to, but if you need help with anything please let me know.

Thanks
Leah
