Star Helpers
Star Helpers are essential for us to deliver a quality programme. Becoming a Star Helper is a great way for parents and guardians to become involved in their children's sport and be introduced to fundamental skills used in netball and other sports.
For every 4 children that register from a school, we ask that there be at least 1 Star Helper volunteer.
To be a Star Helper parents/guardians must attend the clinic on the 25th July 12:30-2pm and may bring their children if they need to.
Star Helpers only attend the session that their child attends and there is no requirement for them to attend every session.
Star Helpers do not need any netball qualifications, experience, or knowledge.
People that have done Star Helper training for the Year 3 & 4 programme are eligible to become Year 1 & 2 Star Helpers and may attend the clinic if they wish.
Registration Process
The information collected for registration is first name, last name, home phone or mobile, email address, parent/guardian name, any medical issues, notes about the registration and whether the parent/guardian is interested in becoming a Star Helper. This information will only be used by Northern Suburbs Netball to run the programme.
The cost of the programme is $40 per participant, which will be invoiced to your child school.
The last day for cancelling out of the programme and still receiving a refund is 2nd August 2021.
This programme is limited to the first 120 registered participants.
