We warmly welcome members of the St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace community to St Joseph’s Nudgee College for Round 9 of the 2025 GPS Rugby competition. It is important that we acknowledge the 150th anniversary of the establishment of our brother school in 2025. As a College, we have enjoyed an exciting season of GPS Rugby thus far and I hope that each school continues to bring their exceptional skills, teamwork, positive sportsmanship and deeply ingrained school spirit to the table, each weekend.
Today’s match coincides with our annual Nudgee College Old Boys’ Reunion Weekend and Boarders’ Bash. Members of both school communities are welcome to attend the Boarders’ Bash that will follow the conclusion of the 1st XV rugby match. It has been inspiring to see such a large number of students participating in co-curricular activities this Term. Weekend sport is a unifying community occasion, and such a day should bring out the very best in both schools.
As we come together today for the final round of the GPS season, I want to take a moment not just to welcome our visitors from St Joseph’s College Gregory Terrace, but also to reflect on what has been another memorable year for Nudgee College Rugby. This day is particularly significant for our Year 12 boys. This is their last time pulling on the blue and white jersey, with some having worn it proudly since Year 5; eight years of commitment, growth, and countless memories. To these young men: thank you for your dedication to Nudgee Rugby. Your journey has left a mark on our program and you leave behind a legacy for the next generation of players to follow. We hope today is a fitting celebration of your efforts.
I also want to make a very special acknowledgement to Christine Atchison, who has given so much of herself to this program and to our boys. Christine has been a constant presence at training sessions, on game days, and in all the follow-ups and care that so often happen behind the scenes. She has been there for us in every way; now it is our turn to be there for her. Christine began treatment last week after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. On behalf of the entire Nudgee Rugby community, we ask you to keep Christine in your thoughts and prayers. Christine, we love you, and we stand with you as you take on this fight.
As we come to the tail end of the season, it has been fantastic to see that the teamwork, sportsmanship, exceptional skill and deeply ingrained school spirit remains effervescent. Finally, I am grateful for the significant efforts of all parents, coaches, students, match officials, ancillary staff and support groups, who have worked together to make such a big day happen. Thank you to our highly-skilled and tireless ground staff who have done an incredible job in preparing and maintaining our fields each week. I also thank the first aid officers who have ensured our players are well supported and cared for on game day.
I hope you have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding day at St Joseph’s Nudgee College and that our final home round concludes successfully.
Mr Scott Thomson Principal
As always, rugby teaches us many lessons beyond the scoreboard. Resilience, teamwork, and humility are at the core of the game. Whether you’re playing in the 1st XV or one of our 40 teams, those values matter more than results. To our 800 players: respect the jersey, your teammates, your coaches, and your opponents. Be grateful for the opportunity to play this great game.
A season like this doesn’t happen without the efforts of many. I want to thank our 90+ coaches, managers, and age coordinators, as well as College staff, referees, parents, and Old Boys who dedicate their time and energy week after week. I also extend gratitude to our sponsors – Springers Solar, My Fortress, and Storage Choice Solutions – along with the Rugby Support Group, sports aid staff, and the College Property, Services, and Events teams for ensuring every match day is possible.
Finally, on behalf of Nudgee College Rugby, I warmly welcome Gregory Terrace to our College. May today’s matches be hardfought, competitive, and played in the true spirit of our healthy GPS rivalry.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the 2025 season. It has been a privilege to share it with you.

It is our pleasure to welcome the Gregory Terrace community to St Joseph’s Nudgee College for the final round of the 2025 GPS Rugby season, a fixture steeped in tradition and rivalry. This match always carries extra meaning. Two proud schools, with deep histories and passionate supporters, coming together in one of the most anticipated games on the GPS calendar. The red and black of Terrace always brings out the best in the blue and white of Nudgee.
Today also marks a significant occasion for our Year 12 students, their final GPS match in Nudgee colours. For many, this is the culmination of years of dedication, early mornings, and shared moments with teammates and coaches. We thank them for the pride and leadership they have brought to the program and wish them well in whatever lies ahead.

The Unforgettable 1995 Nudgee College 1st XV Season
The 1995 rugby season stands out as one of Nudgee College’s finest. The First XV delivered an outstanding and undefeated campaign, securing both the GPS Premiership and the Metway Schools Challenge, further adding to Nudgee College’s proud rugby legacy with what was then our 32nd GPS title since 1918.
The team’s commitment and consistency was remarkable across a long season, showcasing the hallmark fifteen-man style of play for which Nudgee College rugby has become renowned. Their dominance was clear on the scoreboard, amassing 347 points and 50 tries, many of which came from the relentless control of phase play and disciplined execution of the basics.
“Playing for the First XV in 1995 was one of the true highlights of my time at Nudgee. For those of us who didn’t continue playing after high school, this was the pinnacle of our Rugby careers and the lessons we learnt through training and competing at this level still serve all of us well today.” - Tim Oberg (NCOB 1995)
The standout of 1995 was captain Elton Flatley, who represented the First XV for four consecutive years. His total domination, determination, and impact on the field was unforgettable, yet it was his humility that truly defined him to his peers. After leaving Nudgee College, Elton went on to represent the Queensland Reds on 114 occasions and the Australian Wallabies 38 times, including the World Cup Final in 2003.
“I have such fond memories of the 1995 First XV season as I was playing alongside my Nudgee brothers in front of a packed Ross Oval for the final time. Some of the rugby we played that year was outstanding, as good as any team I was ever a member of, and it was a thrill to send Tommy Barker and Stevo out as winners in their final year. Very special times”. - Elton Flatley (NCOB 1995)
As mentioned above, the team’s success was shaped by the leadership of Coaches Tom Barker and Mark Stevenson, whose vision, precision, and innovation guided Nudgee College rugby for seven years. 1995 marked their final season, and they fittingly finished on a high before moving on to professional coaching careers.
The season was not only about results, but about the Nudgee Spirit, teamwork, and culture that defined the group. The 1995 First XV remains a shining chapter in Nudgee’s rugby history.
