Vision, Philosophy and Values
At St Paul’s School our vision is to be leading in educational thinking and
practice. We believe that each person is uniquely crafted in the image of our
creator God, each with gifts, talents, strengths and weaknesses. From birth
we are on a journey towards the fulfi lment of our God-given purpose. We were
designed to be relational beings (both socially and spiritually), interacting with
the world which has been entrusted to our care and interacting with each other
in community. Learning is a result of our interaction with each other and our
world. The more we embrace life, the more we seek to discover or create, the
more we learn and the greater is our potential.
LEARNING IS A LIFE-LONG PURSUIT, OR JOURNEY, OF WHICH THE
YEARS OF FORMAL EDUCATION FORM A SMALL PART. ST PAUL’S
SCHOOL BELIEVES THAT THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION IS TO:
Create an environment whereby students can discover their identity and
their gifts and talents without a fear of failure: Students should come to an
understanding that success in life is the result of the ability to take risks. Often
the greatest discoveries have been made through a mistake;
Prepare students to become responsible and contributing global citizens in the
increasingly complex world economy: Students should leave St Paul’s School
with a strong sense of empathy and a conviction to act when they see injustice
and inequity, always seeking to put others rather than themselves at the centre
of the community;
Facilitate the growth of the whole person: Students should have the opportunity
to grow academically, socially, emotionally, physically, aesthetically and
spiritually;
Develop in young people the confi dence to shape the future: Students should
be given opportunities to be fl exible, to be able to discern change and adapt to
their local environment without losing sight of their moral and ethical grounding.
Students are encouraged to dream, imagine and create a future whereby their
sense of fulfi lment is attained;
Develop in each student the fruits of the spirit: Students should embrace love,
joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol
as characteristics that will enable them to interact, communicate, relate
to and serve others in community in an edifying and purposeful manner;
4

Challenge students intellectually: Students should stretch their minds and
imagination, critique, think collaboratively, analyse and communicate their
knowledge and understandings and open pathways for future learning and
opportunities.
St Paul’s School is a student-centred Anglican community preparing balanced
global citizens with a heart for servant leadership.
These beliefs are underpinned by our values: Faith, Learning and Community.
WE VALUE FAITH BELIEVING:
Each person is a unique creation of a loving, redeeming God and able to be
empowered and sustained by the Holy Spirit through the teaching and life of
Jesus Christ.
Each person can have a relationship with God, through Jesus Christ,
demonstrated by modeling one’s life on Christ, serving others and participating
in the traditions and practice of the Anglican Church.
WE VALUE LEARNING WHERE:
Students are encouraged and supported as they strive to reach their intellectual,
physical, social, moral, emotional and spiritual potential in a balanced and
disciplined way.
Growth and personal excellence are celebrated, innovation is encouraged and
a love of learning is fostered.
WE VALUE COMMUNITY WHERE:
Students, staff and families support the aims, purpose and mission of the school
and serve one another using their God-given gifts.
Students, staff and families grow together in faith and learning, promoting love,
justice and peace for all.

Dr Paul Browning
HEADMASTER
Welcome to the 2017 St Paul’s Rugby Season. St Paul’s School has a long
tradition of Rugby. In the early days, invariably every boy would play for the
School otherwise we could not fi eld a team; an unthinkable thing when playing
against schools much larger and older than us at that point in our history. It
was in those days that the spirit of St Paul’s Rugby was born. That spirit lives
on today.
As we know, Rugby is a great game, a game for men. Its greatness is born out
of the camaraderie and mateship that Rugby brings to all who play. This camaraderie
only eventuates once every member of the team is committed to training
hard and focused on playing as a team and not as an individual. Games
are won and lost on the level of commitment to the team and the mateship that
exists between the players. 2017 is destined to hold great things for St Paul’s
Rugby.
Be disciplined, train hard, be a team and play the game.

Mr Tim Hughes
HEAD OF SPORT DEVELOPMENT
The pride and passion of the Red Jersey, it is an honour, a tradition, a history;
it is St Paul’s Rugby. For over 50 years now the presentation of the Red 1st XV
jersey has been a symbol of achievement and accomplishment, a representation
of the dedication and commitment given to St Paul’s Rugby.
This pride and passion extends through to each individual who plays Rugby for
St Paul’s from our Year 4 Rugby players to our 1st XV. Rugby is truly a game
for everyone. It is so much more than just a sport, it is a vehicle where students
learn the true meaning of mateship, camaraderie, where students learn how to
win and how to lose. Where students learn how good success feels and also
the lows of failure, but teaches them that every little thing learnt along the way
is an experience and step toward creating strength of character. Being part of a
team and contributing to something greater than individual performance is one
of the purest enjoyments in life and St Paul’s Rugby offers each student, coach,
parent and spectator that opportunity, to be part of something great, to be part
of the St Paul’s Rugby community.
2017 is set to be an exciting year on the Rugby paddock. It gives me great
pleasure to be involved in such a wonderful sport, and I encourage all to do the
same.
St Paul’s Rugby 2017 – We are all in this together

Mr Colin McIntosh
HEAD OF RUGBY
Welcome to all players, parents, coaches and supporters to the 2017 rugby season at St
Paul’s School. Rugby is a fantastic team sport that caters for all and at St Paul’s Rugby
we strive to challenge students of all ages and abilities. It is an excellent medium through
which students are able to learn valuable life skills such as sportsmanship, teamwork,
leadership, commitment and discipline on and off the field to name a few.
Another rugby season is upon us and this season promises to be as tough as ever. It
is important that all teams are prepared to hit the ground running as the season will be
over before we know it. I would like all players to take the opportunity to read the poem
below. This poem was read by David Campese before every game to remind himself to
have belief in himself and his ability.
Winners are people like you!
WINNERS take chances. Like everyone else they fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them.
WINNERS don’t give up. When life gets rough, they hang in until the going gets better.
WINNERS are fl exible. They realise there is more than one way, and are willing to try others.
WINNERS know they are not perfect. They respect their weaknesses, while making the most of their strengths.
WINNERS fall, but they don’t stay down. They stubbornly refuse to let a fall keep them from climbing.
WINNERS don’t blame fate for their failures, nor luck for their successes. WINNERS accept responsibility for their lives.
WINNERS are positive thinkers who see good in all things. From the ordinary, they make the extraordinary.
WINNERS believe in the path they have chosen, even when it is hard, even when others can’t see where they are going.
WINNERS are patient. They know a goal is only as worthy, as the effort that’s required to achieve it.
WINNERS are people like you. They make this world a better place to be……
By Nancye Sims
So have faith in your own ability and remember as long as you have tried your best you
should be proud of yourself.
I wish all teams, coaches, and players the best of luck this 2017 season.

Mr Scott Forester
SENIOR SCHOOL COORDINATOR
1ST XV COACH
As the 2017 rugby season at St Paul’s School begins I’d like to take the
opportunity to thank all players and coaches for their involvement in building St
Paul’s Rugby and the work that will go into the season ahead.
After previous years success 2017 is shaping to be one to remember, especially
for those involved in the Opens Squad. An exciting and challenging New Zealand
Tour to begin before a season which will push us to be our very best and beyond
right from round 1.
I am personally very excited to see what we can produce as a squad and as a
1stXV team as we look to take our rugby to the next level and push to be at the
top when we come out the other end.
Best wishes to coaches and all the players who will wear the St Paul’s jersey
this season and to wear it with pride and honour in representing yourselves,
those before you and those who will come after you.
Good Luck! Scott Forester

Mr Andrew Curtain &
Manuel Cole-Manolis
ICONZ RUGBY
MIDDLE SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT OFFICERS
Iconz rugby would like to wish all the teams competing in St Pauls colours all
the best for the upcoming season. Remember teams, train how you play so
train hard and play hard. Regardless of the results we hope that all players and
coaches develop their skills and love of the game of rugby as much as we do.
All the best from Iconz Rugby.

Mr Andrew Thomas
RUGBY SUPPORTERS’ GROUP PRESIDENT
Congratulations all those who have signed on to play Rugby this year. You
are adding to the history of St Paul’s Rugby that started in 1963. I would like
to thank the School for the continued support of Rugby and its commitment to
improving our standards on and off the field.
The Rugby program has improved greatly due to a concerted effort of improving
the coaching methods being used. There is Rugby Tots for Junior School,
including a Rugby invasion where the Open Rugby boy’s run a training session
for the Junior teams. Iconz Rugby oversees the Junior and Middle School
programs and have also greatly influenced the way we approach the game at
the Senior School. These programs have lifted our skill levels in every team and
help to make SPS Rugby very competitive on the field.
The RSG actively supports these Coaching programs and is a major force
in the organisation of the Year Nine and Open Rugby tours. The home game
canteens, raffles, Gala and Pink days are all run by the RSG for the benefit of
Rugby at the School. We meet on the last Monday of each month in the Schools
library at 6:30pm. All are welcome.
I ask all players to embrace the challenges of the game, enjoy its highs and
learn for the disappointments. Good luck for the season

RUGBY TOURS
Rugby players at St Paul’s School should be proud of their
efforts on and off the fi eld. By setting goals and working
towards achieving them players can represent SPS and
respect the traditions on the game. Touring gives players
further opportunities to achieve these goals while travelling
with mates.
In 2011 the year 9 squad travelled to the Fraser Coast to
re-ignite the spirit of Rugby Tours. This tradition continued
in 2012, 13 & 14 to North NSW and is included in the recently
published SPS touring calendar for 2015-2020.
In 2017 34 players and 4 staff travelled to NZ for a perseason
tour. The boys were victorious in 1 of the 5 games
against tough NZ opposition. They experienced traditional
Maori activities, and developed great friendships.
Sincere thanks are given to the staff who give up their time for
these events and all the parents for their efforts. SPS Rugby
tours are a unique opportunity that many players treasurer as
most memorable during their school years.
In 2017 the year 9 squad will head to Northern NSW. Please support
these events - you will see from the photos a good time is had by all!

PINK DAY
Every day in Australia around 50 women are diagnosed with
breast or a gynaecological cancer. After a mother of one of
the 2011 1st XV died from breast cancer, St Paul’s Rugby
joined with the rest of the school community to raise funds
for this great cause.
Pink Day 2017 will take place on 3rd June. All supporters are
asked to wear pink, all players are encouraged to purchase
pink socks to play in and the 1st XV will play their TAS fi xture
in complete pink kits. Socks are on sale via Flexischools.
All funds raised will go to Cancer research so please support
this great community initiative.

TAS Sport
There are many reasons why schools offer sports and games. They provide
an educational experience. They provide a sense of cohesion within the
School. They provide opportunities for a wider range of experiences to be
offered to students. They allow the School to be seen to be successful.
They contribute towards the building of character.
All students are expected to support the School and its activities any way that
they can. As a minimum, students are expected to make themselves available
for at least one major, or two minor extra-curricular activities per year.
Students, who are unable to represent the School in any activity, may earn
service learning hours by: Umpiring, scoring, coaching, managing or assisting
in any activity.
At St Paul’s, coaches should expect high standards from their players at all
times. High standards of dress, of conduct, of sportsmanship, attendance and
punctuality at games and practices all contribute to the results obtained.
By following sound principles, teaching skills and developing fi tness to
appropriate levels, we can prepare students to play games to the best of their
ability. It is not possible directly to coach for courage and bravery in the face of
stronger adversaries, but if students have a good knowledge of, and skill in the
game, they will do their best for themselves and their fellows.
Sport should be regarded as a component of a full and active life, not the only
component. Students are to be made fully aware their academic commitments
are of paramount importance. However, if they are taught properly to organise
their time they will be able to fulfi ll their commitments in all aspects of School
life. The students are advised to discuss their intended commitment to extracurricular
activities with their Tutor, Head of House and parents prior to signing
up with a particular activity. Once a student has signaled their intention at the
official sign on they are committed fully for the entire season.
A number of students will want to participate in more than one activity at a time
e.g., cricket/swimming or rugby/cross-country. This is acceptable provided that
they are able to fulfi ll all requirements of both and that the Head of House and
parents feel they are competent to maintain the workload.
36

When the inevitable clashes between scheduled activities arise, students are
to negotiate with the Coaches/ Teachers in Charge of the activities concerned
to establish priorities and give advance warning of an inability to attend one or

Selection of Players and Teams
Just as we expect a full commitment from our teams and their families, we have
a responsibility to them, to ensure that everyone understands the policies of
selection of teams. Please adhere to these guidelines:
Where there are several teams in a sport in an age group, (as in Tennis, Netball
etc.), the Head of that sport and the coaches of the age group will conduct trials.
The “A” team will be selected fi rst, followed by the “B” team, and so on.
The Head of that sport will determine which coach is responsible for each team.
If there are students who properly enrolled for the sport, they should receive
priority over “late comers”. When there is a greater number than can be
accommodated in competition teams, names of those unplaced after trials
should be passed to the Head of Sport who will attempt to organize intra-school
competition for them wherever possible.
The number of players selected in a squad for a higher age group will need to
be agreed upon by the Head of the sport and the coaches of the teams involved,
but failing agreement, a decision will be made by the Head of Sport. In general,
where teams play at the same venue and at different times, a neat complement
should be chosen for the “A” team so that the “B” team can be at its greatest
strength and so that players are not kept as non-playing reserves when they
could be given a whole game.
When teams in the same age-group play at different venues or at the same time
reserves may need to be organized for each team. In this case, it is expected
that no student who has turned up at the venue will be completely excluded
from play, that even reserves will get reasonable playing time. It may be that
different arrangements will need to be made from week to week, however, TAS
Bylaws must be adhered to for all sports, especially Rugby. Players respect a
fi rm and fair policy in these matters, and it is vital that team members, reserves
and their parents know well in advance of the arrangements for each week’s
play. St Paul’s is keen to foster the participation of all its students, not only the
handful of particularly gifted players. The coach is to ensure that all players
receive a “fair go” despite the temptation to rely on a core of stronger players.
Age Groups: It cannot be stressed too much that players may play only in
their correct year group or higher for all TAS sports, and age group for all TAS
carnival sports, as is allowed for in TAS Rules, and only in one age group or
38

year group in a particular round of competition.
Each student’s age shall be taken as at 00.01 a.m. on January 1st 2017.
For all sports except Rugby, no student shall be 19 years or older at 00.01 a.m.
on January 1st 2017 to be eligible for TAS sport in 2017.
For Rugby, no student shall be 18 years or older at 00.01 a.m. on January 1st
2015 to be eligible for TAS matches in 2017.
That for all sports, allowance be made for a students age to be taken as at
00.01am on November 1 in the year prior to competition when it enables the
student to play with his year level.

General Information
Duty of Care: It is the policy of the School to exercise the “Duty of Care” principle
in all aspects of the School’s activities. It has been decided that the following
procedure should be in place:
Staff are to remain with the students if their parents are late, until they are
fetched. Parents can be contacted via a mobile if need be by the coach or
staff member concerned. This applies off campus at a School-related activity
organized by staff of SPS eg. an away game etc.
Parents need to, however, be reminded of collection times for games / practices
and follow up on parents who are always late, needs to be addressed directly
with them by the Head of Sport.
Coaches and staff need to clearly communicate fi nishing times with the parents
involved to avoid late pick-ups by parents. Careful planning and scheduling
of time allocated for an activity needs to be done as it is well known that in
practice that there will always be the odd child who has not been fetched at the
stipulated time.
Christian Ethos: This is a Christian School and players should be Christian
in their approach, developing a healthy respect for all opponents whether
supposedly stronger or weaker. A win/loss record is not the most important
gauge of success, but rather the attitude and behaviour of the team in the light
of the players’ abilities and opportunities.
Relationships between members of the School community should be
characterised by care and concern for each other, whether staff members or
students. Care and concern for others should also be extended to members of
the public.
ANYTHING WHICH IS CONTRARY TO GOOD MANNERS, COMMON SENSE
AND DECENCY IS CONTRARY TO THE RULES OF THE SCHOOL.
Commitment: Sports are to be regarded as a recreation, not as a vocation. All
coaches are expected to support the students in their primary objective and
commitment to their schoolwork, as well as to the wide variety of activities that
are “co-curricular”. It is vital that all: Coach, parent and student alike, see the
activities of the school as a part of the integrated total education package that
we offer at St Paul’s. Consequently, it is expected that students and coaches
40

in any activity interact in a manner that would be construed as a professional
relationship.
With proper organization students should be able to fulfi ll commitments to a
number of activities during the year as well as to their schoolwork.
Therefore, once the commitment to an activity has been formalised through
the appropriate procedures, (which follow), you may expect the support of the
School when you require such a level of commitment in your teams.
Parents will have agreed to the full participation of their sons/daughters in
activities when they endorse the following procedures:
Students wishing to participate in any sport will be required to:
Complete an application form from the Sports Offi ce.
Have the application form signed by a parent and Head of House /
Tutor
Return the form to the Head of Sport
Attend initial trials and training sessions
Parent Team Coordinator (PTC) for St Paul’s School (SPS) Rugby 2017
PTCs enhance sports programmes at SPS. The School and Rugby Supporters’
Group (RSG) place enormous value on PTCs. Willingness to volunteer for this
position is greatly appreciated.
Each team will have one or more coaches. The coaching position will be taken
by a staff member, who may be supported by a parent (current or past), a past
student or an externally contracted coach. The coach is responsible for training
and match day activities. A team may have a manager appointed by school. If
not, the PTC may take on some managerial duties to assist the team.
The PTC’s primary role is to act as a liaison between coach, manager (if one is
appointed), School, RSG, team members, and their families.
