Summer update from the SchoolDate : Thursday, 27th July 2017
Rugby
The Senior Squad 2017/18 returned from their successful tour of New Zealand on Thursday, July, 13th. The tour finished on a high with both sides winning against Lindisfarne College [21-7, 20-5] and followed that up with wins over Dilworth School [21-10, 50-0]. By all accounts, it was a tremendous tour which has enhanced our reputation for excellence both on and off the pitch. I congratulate and thank the boys, their parents and my colleagues Mr Evan O̢۪Brien, Mr Vanstone, Mr Pickering, Mr Lambe, Mr Murray, M Toomey, Mr Neville and Mr Moore, all of whom made it possible.
