UK and Ireland welcomes our boys

Australian Schoolboys team

Both Jarrod Carluccio and Jarred McKinley had outstanding years on the football pitch in 2018. Both were rewarded with selection in the Australian Schoolboys team to tour UK and Ireland in January.

This is their accounts of their experience.

I had the honour of representing the Australian Schoolboys for a second time, this time I was in a leadership role as I would captain the team throughout the tour. 

Throughout the 20 days that we were over there, I was able to experience playing against the best of the best in countries such as Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland and lastly England! This would turn out to be a successful and impressive tour as we were able to only lose two of the six scheduled international games. 

It was an honour and privilege to be able to represent Cecil Hills High School at the highest level and represent my country with pride. 

I would like to thank the staff at Cecil Hills High School for providing both myself and Jarred McKinley with support and guidance through this process. 

A special shout out to Jarred McKinley who performed excellent throughout the whole tour both on and off the pitch.  He was a true reflection of a Cecil Hills High School student. 

Thank you.

Jarrod “doggie” Carluccio
