Sydney Tour - 9 April – 15 April

The U15s rugby tour to Sydney, an experience that extended well beyond the rugby field. With six nights and seven days away from home, this was the longest time many of the boys had been away, and it came with valuable lessons in independence, responsibility, and character. Off the field, the group explored Sydney, participated in team-building activities like scavenger hunts, mini golf, and beach walks, and engaged in thoughtful conversations around personal development. These moments helped deepen their bonds and encouraged them to reflect on the kind of young men they are becoming.

On the field, the team faced three strong opponents and showed immense growth across the tour. After a rocky start against Trinity Grammar School (40-12 loss), where early frustration gave way to signs of resilience, the boys faced a physical battle against Oatley Rugby Club (33-0 loss) but displayed grit and determination that earned praise from the opposing coach. The highlight came in the final match against The Scots College, where the team, in a dramatic finish, clinched a 22-19 victory with a last-minute try. It was a fitting end to a tour filled with learning, camaraderie, and growth. Special thanks to the dedicated staff, Sean Wilson, Mr Andrews, Harry Free, and Jesse Phillips whose leadership helped make the week so impactful.

New Zealand Tour – 8 April – 15 April

Over the course of eight days and seven nights, the 1st XV Rugby Tour to New Zealand proved to be a powerful experience in player development, training, and team building. This tour offered far more than just matches—it was about shaping character, deepening team connections, and fostering resilience. The boys were challenged both physically and mentally, taking part in intensive training sessions, recovery protocols, and off-field leadership discussions. Away from home comforts, they embraced the expectations placed on them and demonstrated strong commitment to their growth as athletes and young men.

On the field, the team competed in three highly competitive matches that tested their skills, discipline, and unity. The tour opened with a hard-fought 22–17 win over Sacred Heart, where the boys executed their structures well and finished strong. The second match, against a physical Orewa College side, was a true test of grit; despite a strong effort, the team narrowly lost 15–10. The final game against Kelston Boys High School saw the group finish on a high with a 19–12 victory, showcasing their development and ability to bounce back. It was a fitting conclusion to a tour full of challenge, camaraderie, and progress. A huge thank you to the staff and coaches who gave their time and energy to support the team on this tour.
