Sports Teams - Please Note:

The College will transport the students from Austins Ferry after school to their respective venues each afternoon via bus (except for sailing, where boys will walk from the College to the MEC). Parents/carers are to collect the students at the conclusion of their match or training.

Students are required to provide their own sport-specific uniforms (different from the official school day sports uniform), which can be purchased through the Uniform Shop. The Uniform Shop is open Tuesday - Thursday, 8.00 am - 4.00 pm, or can be contacted at 6249 3610 or st.virgils@midford.com.au.

It is a condition of participation in all sVc Sport Programs that students consistently meet the College's behaviour and academic effort expectations. Representing the College is a privilege, and ongoing participation in Co-Curricular Activities is subject to behaviour tracking and advice from Heads of House and College Leadership.
