NSW Waratahs U15 Rugby Representatives

Congratulations to William M and Sean C on their selection in the NSW Waratahs U15 representative Rugby side at the conclusion of Term 3.

During the holidays, both boys featured in NSW's convincing victory over Queensland at Ballymore Stadium in Brisbane.

Sean impressed at hooker with his set-piece execution and tireless work rate, while William was outstanding at outside centre, producing strong carries, excellent defence and scoring a well-deserved try.

Both boys should be extremely proud of their achievements. I wish them the best of luck in their final representative fixture this weekend!

Sporting Code of Conduct – A Reminder

As our summer sport competitions commence, we remind all students, parents/carers and spectators of the importance of upholding the College's Sporting Code of Conduct.

I ask all members of our community to:

• respect all players, coaches, officials and spectators at all times.

• support match officials and respect their decisions, regardless of the circumstances.

• encourage positively from the sidelines, allowing coaches to coach and students to play.

• demonstrate good sportsmanship, in both victory and defeat.

• represent St Patrick’s College with pride, remembering that our conduct reflects on the entire College community.

   

I wish all our summer sport teams every success as competitions get underway. Thank you to our coaches, staff, parents/carers and volunteers for their continued commitment to providing these opportunities for our students.

I look forward to another fantastic term of sport and seeing plenty of blue, black and gold across the sporting grounds!
