Welcome to Summer Intercol 2025
This Intercol week is the culmination of what will be remembered as a long and hot summer. Additional stress and pressure has been absorbed by teams and crews that have worked so hard throughout their seasons. This is no different to 1871 when we first competed against each other, and this generation who now become the custodians of one of the oldest sporting rivalries and friendships in Australia.
Thank you to our friends at St Peter’s for hosting the summer Intercol and to the many teaching staff, grounds staff, coaches and parents who have contributed to making this event such an incredible opportunity for the boys. We know the coaches, parents and boys will continue to embrace the high standards of sportsmanship that we all expect across these days of competition and spectatorship.
Congratulations to the grounds team and all the officials for their hard work and dedication through the season as they have guided our boys in the ongoing development of their skills, fitness and character. Within our two schools we impress upon our boys the importance of playing these Intercols under the umbrella of sportsmanship and humility. There is nothing more important as it sits as a wider example to the younger students within our communities. Mr Browning and I are united in continuing to ensure these standards are adhered to.
We look forward to seeing you around the grounds and wish all boys and coaches the best for the week ahead.
