S.R.C. SPORTS COMMITTEE REPORT
The S.R .C. Sports Committee was formed at th e
start of th e first term. This committee was made
up of representatives of all sports played at the
College. These members did an excellen t job in
promoting their individual spans.
It seems a pity that the majority of students
at the College did not participate in any form of
sport during 1962. It is hoped that in future years
the stu dents will realise th e importance of sport
and sportsmanship in education.
The inter-faculty sw.imming sports were held at
the Malvern Baths and resulted in a win for the
Civils. It was again unfortunate that the student
support was very low and because of th is only
the competitors were allowed time-off to attend
the Inter-College sports at the Brunswick Baths.
Gordon Institute of Technology, Geelong, were
the winners of the swimming sh ield for 1962.
The inter-faculty athletics, held on the oval
opposite the College, resulted in another win for
the Civils, We would like to thank all students
who competed and spe cial thanks to all staff and
students who helped to make this day the success
that it was.
Caulfield had the responsibility of organising the
inter-college athletics at Olympic Pa rk . This was
done, very capably, by Mr. Gowty and members
of staff and students of other coll eges. Once again
it was unfortunate that so many students d id not
support their colleges. If they had th ey would
have seen a very exciting climax with Geelong
and Cau lfield separated by two points with onl y
two events to be decided. Geelong went ahead to
win with Caulfield a close second.
Two trips were held during the year. one to
Ballarat for a rowing re gatta, and the other to
Geelong. We feel sure that all competitors and
spectators who attended enjoyed the day's sport.
Finally, we would like to thank all students
who participated in College sport during 1962 .
A special thanks to Mr. Gowty for all the work
he ha s done in taking over the responsible position
of sportsmaster at the start of the year.
'Ve look forward to more student activity in
sport during 1963.
Ian Dale, Chairman.
