Parent Helpers on Gala Days
Parents are encouraged to help out on the day, if you are assisting here is an overview of what happens on the day;
- Parents can travel by bus /walk with the students to the venue or meet students at the venue
- Parents are assigned a team to “coach” for the day. They will be given a fixture and an overview of the rules of the game.
- On the day parents role is to ensure that students arrive to games on time, rotate team around fairly, supervise students and on some events they are required to umpire games.

Southport Schools Sports Association (SSSA)
The SSSA is the district arm of the Victorian Primary School Sports Association and is responsible for organizing and conducting numerous sporting activities for students attending schools in the Albert Park, Port Melbourne, Middle Park, St Kilda and Toorak areas. There are 10 schools in the district who each provide a representative to become a member of the SSSA Committee. These members take responsibility to organize all gala days, sports trials, athletics and swimming carnivals each year, and volunteer their time in excess to their teaching loads. All of this work is completed with the aim of providing a holistic and supportive schools sports program for your children.
