You will have to fill out the registration form HERE and pay the $45 fee in order to secure a place in the Soccer Academy program. Please note: fees must be paid to secure your child’s place; those to pay first will get the places offered.

The cut-off date for payment is 12.40pm THURSDAY the 2nd of April

You can make payment over the phone (9877 3555) or by visiting Reception during school hours.

Uniform Information

It is expected that all students come to sessions wearing their Sentinels training shirts. If your child needs to purchase one, you can do this directly through our supplier HERE.

For the first few weeks of the program, if your child does not have a Sentinels training shirt, they can wear their NCC PE shirt.

More detailed information on the program and session plans can be found HERE.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Priscilla de Schwartz via email at priscilla.deschwartz@nunawading.vic.edu.au

We can’t wait for the start of our next Junior Academy program!
