Our rugby calendar takes a break now with no scheduled matches until Saturday 28th July against St Pius in the ISA Competition. Games will be shared across the two schools’ venues (U11-15 at Rat Park and U16-Opens at Oxford Falls) due to Warringah Rats Grade fixtures on at Rat Park. This day will also be the official team photo day so all players (even if injured) should be at the correct photo station in time for the photo and then have enough preparation time for your match. The Wakehurst Parkway has been notoriously busy the last few weekends and will continue to do so as roadworks push on. Please plan your trip to Rat Park or Oxford Falls carefully on that weekend.
There are still many boys without a College tracksuit who are turning up to games in incorrect attire. Parents are urged to check that your son has the correct college tracksuit on in the event of cold weather. School organised sport is the same as any other school day and students must be in the correct uniform when representing the College.
During the holidays, a number of Saint Augustine’s First XV members will be trialing for the NSW Schoolboys team to play in the Australian Schoolboys Rugby Championships at Riverview from the 8th-14th July. We wish all those players the best of luck. Similarly, the NSW U16 teams are also being selected this weekend
Reminder there is NO TRAINING THIS WEEK due to Parent Teacher Interviews on at school on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
