Rugby at 成人综合网

Sport is an integral part of 成人综合网鈥檚 education programme and all students are encouraged to join in and become part of a team. Rugby is one of the main winter sports at the College and enjoys tremendous popularity throughout all age groups in both the Senior and Junior School.

The Rugby mission at 成人综合网 is to:

• Foster the sport of rugby for students and coaches as part of the College鈥檚 overall education programme.
• Provide opponents with a good contest and hospitality while always displaying the highest standard of sportsmanship.
• Provide all students, coaches, parents, Old Boys and supporters with enjoyment听 through Rugby across all levels and age groups.
• Assist all students to achieve their goals.

成人综合网 is a member of the Combined Associated Schools along with, Barker, Knox, Cranbrook, St Aloysius and Trinity. These six schools make up the very competitive CAS Rugby competition that is played on Saturdays during the winter season. In addition to the CAS competition, 成人综合网 traditionally starts the season off with strong trial games against GPS and other reputable rugby schools. The 2015 pre-season saw the 成人综合网 1st XV and Development Squad tour New Zealand.

Throughout the year 成人综合网 regularly hosts visiting interstate and overseas schools. Many of these visits lead to lasting friendships.
