From the Director of Boarding

Dear Parents and Friends,

Welcome to Term Two! The busyness of boarding life has been in full swing throughout the first weeks of term as the boys navigate increasing levels of schoolwork, winter sports training and commitments, and various school activities. It was wonderful to receive the boys refreshed after their holiday break and ready to embrace everything the College has to offer them.

2021 Boarding Family Weekend

It is exciting that the biggest weekend on the boarding calendar is scheduled to go ahead again this year on the weekend of 14 to 16 May. 

A schedule of events for the weekend will be sent to you early next week. We will be hosting The Cranbrook School on Saturday, with the Marquee set up on SGC 2 for the day. It is fantastic that so many families have indicated that they will be in attendance. If you are interested in attending, it's not too late to RSVP -  please complete the form at this link. 

For further information regarding the event, please contact Miss Melissa Watts on mwatts@stgregs.nsw.edu.au or 02 4629 4133.

We would love to see as many of the boys' families as possible. 

Jugiong Country Visit

Thank you to all the families from the surrounding areas of Jugiong that met with us at the Sir George Hotel on the last Sunday of the holidays to participate in our new initiative of ‘Past, Present and Future Families’. It was wonderful to see so many families support this event and a pleasure meeting some potential new members of our community. There will be plenty of similar events coming in the next few months and hope that our families will be able to support these as well.

Upcoming Visits

We have locked in the following dates for some Past, Present and Future Families country visits. We hope our families will be able to support us at these events and spread the word to any potential new families who might be considering Boarding school.

Winter Sport

Our winter sports season has commenced with the boys heavily involved in Rugby League and Rugby Union. Just a reminder about these competitions. The MCS competition is run on Thursday afternoons. I get an email on Monday mornings with the draw. If anyone is unsure of where their son is playing, please get in contact.

The NRL National Schoolboys Cup will kick off in a fortnight with our 1st XIII playing Hunter Sports High School at the College on Thursday 13 May. This game will be live-streamed by the Daily Telegraph and will kick off at 11:30am. 

Finally, our pre-season combined competition with ISA, GPS, and CAS schools has commenced. In Round 1 we played Barker College, winning 5 of 7 fixtures. I encourage as many families as possible to come along to games on Saturdays. The schedule for this is sent out during the week.

Communication and Social Media

A reminder about our Facebook and Instagram accounts. These sites are live so please make sure you get onto them if you have accounts. If it is your first foray into social media, (I do not blame you) perhaps your sons can assist you!
