Good morning ARS members,
It has been a tumultuous season with lots of ups and downs. However we have progressed very well in following through with the lesson plans developed for each school. We would like to thank school coaches and heads of schools for their encouragement to-date.

2019 witnesses the commencement of the league for Girls only and the Contact team
Please note that for the year 9 boys, if parents give their consent, they may play in the league match.
Please note that year 7-12 boys are trained by the Master to play contact rugby, however only year 10-12 boys may play league matches, whilst year 9 boys can play if their parents provide written consent.
School bus vs Parents
Going forward member schools shall please arrange for school buses to bring players to school instead of parents. This is to ensure matches start on-time and players are thus able to depart on-time.
