All Rugby Schools Weekly Digest
The Week of the Protectors of the Realm!
by Program Coordinator on October 10 2021.
Past two weeks (27 Sept to 09 Oct) have been about onboarding Subscribers/Members/Players to:
1. The DARE and
2. Protectors of the Ream
Onboarding of POTR Members
The past two weeks have been spent onboarding Members/Subscribers/Players to the Protectors of the Realm. The Protectors of the Realm is the student representative body of the various Ruling House Communities (www.allrugbyschools-edp.org/ruling-houses). The onboarding process involves the distribution of letters to students that have been selected for this term. The letter explains the next steps which involve registration on a designated online form setup for this purpose. We have thus far onboarded just one Ruling House Community. We look forward to onboarding more Communities in the coming week. Thereafter all POTR members shall meet and discuss what they hope to achieve this term.
Onboarding members to The DARE and STATERs
We printed slips which explain how to subscribe to our online learning program, the DARE + STATERs, and distributed them amongst all Members/Subscribers/Players during training sessions. We shall continue to distribute the slips at training sessions. See image of slip below.
NOTE: Going forward Masters shall focus on ONLY Members/Subscribers/Players that have subscribed to our online learning program, The DARE. The online program trains members on various skills ahead of onsite training at school and is our primary means of training seeing as we have such little time with Members/Subscribers/Players during the week (45 mins to 60 mins per week).
School Coaches book ahead of Masters attending Training
We have introduced a new process for school coaches to request the presence of a Master to train their Ruling House Communities. School coaches are required to complete the form found here: https://forms.gle/gZNL9FdYKRUiN8ee6 at least 24 hours ahead of the agreed date for training. The objective in requiring this form to be completed is to ensure our Masters turn up to training only when needed and avoid situations wherein Master turns up when the Members/Subscribers/Players are unavailable for training.
Intra Teams and Inter Ruling House Community games
We are planning Intra Teams and Inter Ruling House Community games. We shall be reaching out to Ruling House Communities from the week of the 10th of October to arrange dates and times.
2022 July/Aug Touring
We are planning a tour of schools in South Africa for July/Aug 2022. This tour shall be for Members/Subscribers/Players in year 11/12. Enrolment for the tour shall commence this term. It shall be for the Senior Boys and Girls only teams. Each Ruling House shall be represented. See below for the schedule of the expected touring party.
THIS WEEK’S
TOP STORIES
The DARE, online program starts 4th October 2021 for all Students
by Program Coordinator on September 25
The DARE by SHIZZLE, our online program for all members of the All Rugby Schools started in July 2021. We require all Members that sign-up for training at school to also have subscribed to the online program. We realised that the one hour each week we have with members at school is grossly inadequate. We resorted to creating online videos that are released each week for members to watch. After watching, members use our online recorder to record themselves doing the activity requested in the video. Their recordings are marked and results posted in the chat in the online program app.
From the 4th of October 2021, we shall require all members that attend training at school to have subscribed to our online program app, The DARE by Shizzle. All ARS schools were notified of this development ahead of the start of the new term as follows:
1. Ahead of the commencement of this term we informed all schools of this development in writing through the School Registration form which all schools completed and submitted.
2. We there-after set-up meetings with every Head of Co-curricular and the School coach to prep the school ahead of the start of term using our School Prep Form.
We went further at this week's training session and informed all members that attended training of the need to subscribe to our online program before the 4th of October which is when we start training only members at school that have subscribed to the online program.
Use this link https://youtu.be/bnCHTUwdqiA to view a brief intro video to the online program.
For members that have not signed up, they simply head to: www.allrugbyschools-edp.org/payment
Once there they simply complete the online form and have their parents pay the monthly subscription of NGN 1,800 per month (before VAT). For boarders we can come to an arrangement wherein members are given access to the program with the understanding that parents make payments of the 1st term months consumed at the end of the 1st term. However the online form must be completed.
Alongside access to the online program, members receive:
● STATERs Bank Card
● STATERs Online ATM PIN
● STATERs Banking App Access
● Online Hangout Mall Access
● STATERs dependent on activities such as:
○ Proficiency Badges
○ Activities on The DARE by SHIZZLE
○ Attendance at training
○ Full and Half Colors
○ POTR Membership
○ Others
POTR Members
by Program Coordinator on September 25
The week of the 27th October shall be spent onboarding POTR members. POTR members are student representatives of each Ruling House Community. Each Ruling House Community shall produce four (4) representatives as shown below, and they shall be changed round every month so other members get an opportunity to be a POTR Member.
