WINTER Sport Program 14th of June 2025
Welcome
On behalf of the Rector, Fr Tom Renshaw SJ, Principal Mr Mark Tannock, and College Captain Angus Martinez, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all students, staff, parents, Old Boys, and supporters from St Joseph’s College and Sydney Grammar School.
This weekend is a particularly special one in the life of the College. We mark the long-awaited return of the Riverview - Joeys winter fixture, one of the most historic and passionately contested days in the GPS calendar. We are also delighted to welcome back Old Ignatians from across the decades as they gather for reunions and reconnect with the spirit of Riverview.
The return to home grounds brings with it a renewed sense of school spirit and community pride. Today is about more than just competition - it is a celebration of everything that makes our College community so vibrant: tradition, connection, and the enduring bonds of mateship
These fixtures are not defined by scores alone. They are a testament to teamwork, resilience, and shared values. While the scoreboard may record the result, it is the lessons learned, friendships strengthened, and memories made that last far beyond the final whistle. May we approach every match with determination, humility, and respect for one another.
Following the 1st XV Rugby match, we warmly invite all 1st and 2nd XV players, match officials, and their families to join us for Afternoon Tea in the The Memorial Hall. This cherished tradition is a chance to share stories, build relationships, and honour the ties between our schools. A heartfelt thank you to the parents of our senior teams for their time and generosity in bringing this event to life.
A cordial invitation is also extended to all 1st and 2nd Football players, match officials, and parents of both schools to the Morning Tea in the Memorial Hall. This will be conducted at the conclusion of the 1st XI game.
To all players and participants wear your colours with pride, play with heart, and represent your school with honour. Sport is not just about the game; it’s about the character we build and the lifelong connections we make.
