The ISA and IPSHA Rugby competitions resume this Saturday 28 July. Games will be shared across the two school 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 be 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 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.
NSW SCHOOLBOY REPRESENTATIVES
Congratulations to Daniel Ala, Zac Barnabas and Sean Vaivelata who represented the NSW II Schoolboys team during the holidays that played in the Australian Schoolboys Rugby Championships at Riverview from the 8-14 July. Making the Final against a red-hot NSW I team, the boys played some great rugby during the week, only to go down in the final 29-19. Daniel Ala was selected in a 40-man Australian Schoolboys squad that will play against NZ and Tongan Schools in October, with a chance to be selected for the Australian Schools UK Tour in November.
Reminder there may be disruptions to training NEXT WEEK due to Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews on at school on the afternoons of Tuesday 31 July and Thursday 2 August. Please watch this space and Team App carefully over the next few days.
