Co-curricular - Senior Sport
Reconciliation Round
This week the College will hold our Winter Reconciliation Round of Sport across all disciplines.
The 1st XV Rugby, 1st XI Football and 1st IV Tennis players will wear the College’s Aboriginal strip created in conjunction with our partner school in Alice Springs, St Joseph’s Flexible Learning Centre. I would like to thank in advance St Stanislaus' College who will also support our Reconciliation Round this weekend in Rugby and wear their own unique Aboriginal jersey designed by some of their indigenous students.
Across the day, all teams will Acknowledge Country prior to the commencement of their fixtures. As we do this, it is important that we work for Reconciliation in our everyday lives beyond just Saturday, addressing racism and affecting change for the greater good of our original custodians where possible.
SPC stands in solidarity with all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and acknowledges the Wangal clan of the Dharug people in the greater Eora nation, as well as the Central Arrente people of Alice Springs.
Forward planning - Rugby in Orange Saturday 31 July
The Rugby fraternity will travel over the mountains to play Kinross Wolaroi School on Saturday 31 July. At this point in time, all teams will play in Orange/Bathurst. A bus will again be organised, and a note will go out closer to the date regarding transport.
All rugby players will be required to travel to Bathurst to play in their respective fixtures. It is the College’s expectations that all rugby players will attend. Should any family question their son’s ability to fulfil this commitment, a written ‘request for leave’ should be addressed to Mr Fochesato and myself at your earliest convenience.
