Notes for Sailing
A limited number of places are available for the Sailing Development Program, and the program is heavily reliant on volunteer support. If parents/carers, or grandparents are available to assist in any way, please note on this registration form. Team Racing is generally reserved for competent sailors, or those with some experience...not beginners. If unsure, please register, and the coaching staff will liaise to ascertain suitability. Students wishing to participate in either sailing programs must be able to swim 50 metres and tread water for five minutes.
Notes for Rowing
Rowing at St Virgil’s College has been a proud tradition since 1912, building not only strong athletes but also confident, resilient young men. The 2025/26 season begins in Week 1 of Term 4 and continues through Term 1 next year, with training based at our well-equipped New Town Bay Rowing Centre. The program caters to all levels, from Year 6 beginners to senior crews competing at state and national levels, and offers expert coaching, quality facilities, and a supportive community. Rowers will take part in regular training sessions, camps, and regattas across Tasmania, with a strong focus on teamwork, discipline, and personal growth.
The 2025-26 Rowing Handbook contains information for the season, including training schedules, regatta dates, selection criteria, fees, uniform requirements, and expectations for attendance and conduct. Students wishing to participate must be able to swim 50 metres and tread water for five minutes. If registrations exceed capacity, trials may be conducted to determine final squad placements. All new and interested students are encouraged to attend a Learn to Row Day - Saturday 20 September (Term 3), New Town Bay Rowing Centre, from 10.00 am -12.00 pm. To register for the Learn to Row Day, click this link. Any further Rowing queries can be directed to Oliver Wilson-Haffenden, Director of Rowing at OWilsonHaffenden@stvirgils.tas.edu.au .
First Aid and Sports Trainers Needed:
We are seeking assistance from qualified Parents or Carers for our teams and programs. If you hold any relevant qualifications and are available to lend your support, please provide your details below. It’s important to note that all individuals offering their services in a first aid or sports trainer role must possess a valid Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) card and complete a brief induction program for College Volunteers.
Registration Details:
Please be advised that the registration period closes promptly at 5.00 pm on Friday 12 September. To ensure a smooth registration process, we kindly ask that Students and their Parents/Carers discuss their options prior to signing up. This cooperation will help prevent any duplicate registrations or enrollment in activities that the student may not be interested in participating in. The days and times allotted for each activity are listed above to facilitate thoughtful decisions.
To register, please click here and complete the Google Registration Form.
Commitment to Participation
Once students have registered and been placed on a team, it is crucial that they commit to attending all scheduled games throughout the season, including any finals. This commitment is vital for fostering team cohesion and ensuring optimal team performance. In the unfortunate circumstance that a student is unwell or suffers an injury preventing them from playing, it is essential to inform the team coach at the earliest opportunity. Timely communication enables the coach to make necessary adjustments to the team's lineup, maximizing the team's competitive edge.
Inclusivity at St Virgil's College
At St Virgil's College, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive institution. We strive to accommodate all students who register for their chosen activities. However, please note that in situations where numbers or resources are limited, selection trials and specific criteria may be implemented.
Upcoming Information
Further details regarding team trials(if required), team lists, rosters, and other pertinent information for the Term 4 Co-Curricular Activities will be provided in the near future.
Transportation and Uniform Requirements
For the convenience of our students, the College will provide transportation for the boys from Austins Ferry to their designated sporting venues each afternoon via a third-party bus. Buses will depart from the basketball courts at the direction of College staff. This transport will not be supervised by College staff or volunteer coaches. College staff and/or volunteer coaches will meet the team at the destination. The College provides no return transport, and parents/carers are responsible for picking up the boys after the conclusion of their matches. It is mandatory for boys to provide their own sport-specific uniforms, which differ from the official school day sports uniform. These uniforms can be purchased at the Uniform Shop, which operates on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm. For additional inquiries, you can reach the Uniform Shop at 6249 3610 or via email at st.virgils@midford.com.au
Behavior and Academic Expectations
Participation in all St Virgil's College Sports Programs requires students to consistently meet the College's expectations for behavior and academic effort. Being a representative of the College is a privilege, and ongoing involvement in Co-Curricular Activities will be contingent on behavior monitoring and feedback from Heads of House and College Leadership.
Contact Information
If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Sports Trainee, Tom Briggs, at tbriggs@stvirgils.tas.edu.au, or the Director of Sport, Michael Moschogianis, at mmoschogianis@stvirgils.tas.edu.au.

Diabetes Australia Fundraiser - Schools Triathlon
As part of our participation in the School Triathlon Challenge this year, we're fundraising to help Diabetes Australia create a future where diabetes can do no harm.
Right now, more than 1.5 million Australians are living with diabetes. Every step we take and every dollar we raise helps change the lives of real people — parents, kids, grandparents, and friends — who are living with or at risk of diabetes.
With your support, we're:
Raising awareness
Funding vital research
Funding our DiaBuddies youth programs
Supporting those in need
Helping build a future where diabetes can do no harm
We’re showing people with diabetes that they are not alone — and that together, we’re stronger.
Please help us reach our goal by making a donation through our page. See the link below.

Thank you, Team sVc appreciates your support.
