Year 8 Rugby Leadership Group – Displaying Courage and the St Matthews Way

The Year 8 Rugby Leadership Group had a fantastic session this week, putting The St Matthews Way values into action — particularly courage.

Students took part in a full-contact session that required confidence, discipline, and teamwork. It was great to see them encouraging one another, demonstrating resilience in challenging situations, and applying the skills they’ve developed over the term.

The session concluded with a competitive game where students showcased not only their growing ability but also their respect and sportsmanship — key elements of The St Matthews Way.

This program continues to provide opportunities for our young leaders to grow both on and off the field, reinforcing the importance of service, courage, respect, and integrity in all they do.

Well done to the Year 8 group for their effort and enthusiasm throughout the session!
