Football (Soccer)

In 2007, the St. Patrick's College Junior School will be fielding thirteen Football teams to contest the JSHAA competition on Saturday mornings. There has been an extra under 11 team added (under 11F) to cater for the large number of boys in this particular age group. Football in the junior school at St. Patrick’s is very strong. Of the 78 games we contested in 2006, St. Patrick’s won 54 of these and had 14 draws. In addition, there were seven teams that went through the entire season undefeated.

Training

Our Junior Football teams train twice a week on either one of the College’s back ovals or at the nearby Airey Park fields.

Uniform

The uniform consists of a gold shirt with blue and black sleaves, the black College shorts and black socks with a gold trim at the top.

Rugby Union

Rugby Union is another very proud and traditional game that is played at the College. In the Junior School we have ten teams participating in the Under 10’s, Under 11’s and Prep divisions. Any boy that nominates Rugby as his first choice of winter sport will automatically be placed in a team.

The Games programme, that is run in the Junior School, greatly assists the boys in developing their Rugby skills in Years 5 and 6. As many boys have never played the game of Rugby Union before commencing at SPC, this programme greatly assists in teaching the boys how to play, as well as how to improving their skills and their knowledge of the rules.
