It is College policy for all students to participate in sport during the year. If medical reasons exist that prohibit a boy’s participation, a letter from his doctor needs to be forwarded to the Director of Sport and Co-Curriculum. In such cases, the student will still be part of a team/crew as a manager.
TO HAVE A BRAVE HEART AND A CLEAR VISION.
