Rugby Club, September 2015 Newsletter 5, 2015 Friday 18th September Being Director of Rugby at Scots College for this 2015 season has been both enjoyable and rewarding. They are a great group of young men at this college and parents should be proud of their success and character throughout the season. Scots has only 187 rugby players registered and we field 8 teams. I would like to thank all the players for the hard work they have put in this season. A special thank you must also go to our dedicated team of coaches, managers and parents who have supported us this season. Without you, we would not have had such a successful season - “together we are stronger” We managed to have 5 teams make the semi-finals in their grades - the U55s, U65s, U15s, 2nd XV & 1st XV. From those teams, 3 teams made their respective Grand Finals - the U65s, 2nd XV and the 1st XV. This is a huge achievement. From those 3 finals, we had one team crowned as Champions of their grade and we would like to congratulate the Under 65s for their great season, they are worthy winners of their grade. Well done to their Coaches Dave Scott, Peter Connell & Cliff Montu, and thank you for the great work you have put into the boys this season. The 2nd XV made their fourth consecutive Premier Three final for the mighty Onslow Cup. This was a team who have grown in skill and depth over the season, turning early defeats into victory at the business end of the season. Excellently coached by Will Struthers, Alistair Hamilton and Kevin James they fought all the way in the final against St. Pat’s Silverstream but couldn’t quite deliver the knockout blow. This same team then stepped into the 1st XV’s breach at Quad and performed with real passion and pride in the Moascar Cup defence against STAC’s Development team. Judging by the comments after Quad and irrespective of the result, the boys valued the experience highly. What an amazing journey the 1st XV have had over the last couple months. Character and determination are just some words to describe the performances that this group of young men put together to prepare themselves for contention in the National Top 4 competition. It all started for this special group at the Wellington Weltec Premeir 1 final where they were undefeated going into the match and they lost their first match of the competition against a very good St Pat’s Town team. Coming 2nd gave the 1st XV another lifeline and they went into a wild card game against Wanganui High School. Winning this game meant they would travel 8-10 hours up to Gisborne and play the highly rated Gisborne Boys’ High School. Winning meant they would play in the final of the Hurricanes region, a repeat against St Pat’s Town. This time we won and the 1st XV won back to back Hurricanes titles – champions again and an outstanding effort by this team. From there the 1st XV played their Top 4 semi final against a very good Otago Boys’ High School side who were South Island Champions. We managed to fight back and win a tightly-fought match 35-27. The final was always going to be tough and was played against a very mature and experienced Rotorua Boys’ High School on their home pitch. The team played their hearts out in this match but it was not meant to be losing 36-27. Thank you to all our Scots college rugby community for the ongoing support that you have given to all our teams this year. Congratulations to all our teams this year but I would like to add a special mention to our three 1st XV players who have been selected to play for the New Zealand Secondary Schools team to tour Australia this month. 1. Alex Fidow 2. Thomas Umaga-Jensen 3. Peter Umaga-Jensen Peter Umaga-Jensen also has been named captain for the New Zealand Secondary School team for 2015. This is excellent news and we are so proud of you all. Filo Tiatia Director of Rugby [email protected] Club sponsorship – a big thank you to: Premier Sponsors of the Scots College Rugby Club Suzuki New Zealand Bronze Sponsors Unichem Clive Fine Touch Catering We also acknowledge and thank those families who supported our recent appeal to purchase items of equipment. 2015 End of the year prize giving evening What a fantastic evening celebrating a great season and the achievements of our players and the accolades that all our teams accomplished this year. I would like thank our guest speaker, Wellington and New Zealand All Black legend Andy Leslie, for the amazing words of wisdom and encouragement he imparted to all our players, staff/management and parents that were present for the evening. I would also like to thank all our rugby community for making an effort to attend this special Event - over 280 people attended the awards ceremony this year. As Andy Leslie mentioned in the evening “the winners that received trophies tonight will owe loads of credit to all their team mates, without you the winners would not have received their rewards” I would like to thank the efforts again from all our Coaches and Management team, but especially from all our players and supporting families.

They lost 36-27 to Rotorua Boys' High School in the final on Sunday, with the home team finishing strongly in front of their fans despite ending the game with just 13 men. Rotorua were leading 29-27 in the final 10 minutes when they had two brain explosions. Second-five Waisea Nuimataiwalu was sent off for a careless and dangerous tip-tackle, before halfback Ra Whata was yellow carded for punching with just minutes on the clock. However, after a series of breakdown turnovers, Rotorua No 8 Kaydis Hona bashed over to score the winning try and was promptly swamped by pitch-invading Rotorua fans. Rotorua first five-eighth Kaleb Trask sent the conversion through the posts as the final hooter sounded, sparking a second pitch invasion. It could have been very different for Scots, having gone up 22-19 early in the second half, after trailing 19-12 at halftime.

With over 800 team members on our New Zealand sites (and more than 1000 Security globally), our solutions can be found in over 160 countries. If you’re a farmer then you’ll likely already know how our smart farm systems help you. But DID YOU ALSO KNOW that our world beating security platforms look after students, office workers, nurses, doctors, patients, prison officers, bankers, miners and many, many more, all over the globe. Be it keeping the lights on by protecting the UK’s national power infrastructure, Animal the iron ore flowing in Western Australia or Management providing instant lockdown at Harrisburg District school in South Dakota, our high tech access control takes care of people just about everywhere you can think of. And we even provide fuel dispensers for around 80 per cent of fuel retailers throughout Australasia. To say we’re proudly powered from New Zealand is an understatement.

  • Chairman Report 2018
    Chairman’s Report SCOBA Annual General Meeting June 2018 Welcome to the 2018 Annual General Meeting of the Scots College Old Boys’ Association. I would like to start by acknowledging our Patrons: Headmaster Graeme Yule, and School Principals Christian Zachariassen, Matt Allen and Mike Hansen. I record our appreciation for the interest that Graeme and his team take in SCOBA and the wider Scots community. I thought I would start with a reminder about SCOBA and who it represents. The Association was started in 1921 by the first boys to graduate from Scots, and since that time more than 12,000 boys have passed through the school gates. SCOBA therefore has a large and growing constituency, which is about to become more diverse when the first female students begin graduating from 2021 (which happens to nicely coincide with the SCOBA Centenary). More on this later. Our members range from late teenagers, to our most senior member Ken Longmore who recently turned 100. Ken attended Scots in the 1930s and has had a remarkable life, as many of you may have read about in the recent Quad magazine. We celebrated Ken’s birthday out at Scots a few weeks ago, which included his opening of the Aitken Building portico refurbishment. The past year has seen successes by a number of our more recent Old Boys, and I wanted to mention a few today. Many of you remember Andrew Tang (2017) who attended our AGM last year in his final year at Scots. Last year, Andrew was awarded the Prime Minister’s Award for Academic Excellence, recognising the top New Zealand student, and achieved scholarship (top 3%) in a record 12 subjects.
