EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Central Highlands Grass Roots Junior Rugby Union Development Strategy is the first developed by the CHJRU; it commences from the start of the 2020 season and covers three years until the end of 2023. The Strategy is designed to respond to the unique regional and remote challenges faced by players and potential players, and to create a pathway for Rugby to flourish in the Central Highlands. It does this by: • addressing significant geographic barriers for rural communities through supporting locally-held competitions; • reducing the expenses of families and teams; • facilitating safe and secure options for boys and girls to travel when required; and • providing access to regional communities to high quality rugby union professionals that encourage participation in physical activity. It is a combined effort from all teams who put individual interests aside for the greater benefit of the whole region. 2. OVERVIEW About the Central Highlands Junior Rugby Union Association Inc. (CHJRU) The Central Highlands Junior Rugby Union Association is a not-for-profit incorporated entity which whose purpose is to: • Facilitate the playing and practice of Rugby Union in all its forms • Promote the game in all its forms • Foster the development of members as players, coaches, referees, supporters and individuals The CHJRU is committed to supporting boys and girls aged 6 to 18 from all backgrounds enjoy Rugby Union at primary, secondary school levels and in team competitions across the entire Central Highlands region. Two types of membership support the CHJRU: Individual membership which is available for individuals aged over 18 who have a genuine interest in Junior Rugby and support our values and initiatives, and Affiliate membership which recognises our sponsors. The Association is governed by an eight-member Management Committee and holds regular, friendly and inclusive General Meetings in order for all Members to collaboratively solve any issues or challenges, and progress Junior Rugby in our region. Our core values enable players and supporters to understand the character of the game and what makes it distinctive as a sport. • Fun • Integrity • Performance • Passion • Respect • Teamwork CENTRAL HIGHLANDS GRASS ROOTS JUNIOR RUGBY UNION DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2020 – 2023 Pg 1 of 6 3. Purpose of the Strategy Our Challenge: The Central Highlands region spans more than 60,000km2 – an area the size of Tasmania. While around 15,000 people live in the central hub of Emerald an equal number live in regional communities across the area. Geographic distance and lack of transport options are a significant barrier for all families wishing to participate in regional sports but particularly in rugby union. Until 2019, all rugby union games were played in Gladstone, Rockhampton and Mackay which represents a 1000km round trip for some families. In addition, the region has recently experienced drought, bushfires, and its workforce is characterised by a significant percentage undertaking shift work which limits time available for volunteering. National Rural Health Alliance Fact Sheet on Physical activity in rural Australia, (2011) summarised barriers to physical activity which CHJRU has observed and seeks to address: • lack of time, confidence and motivation to engage in physical activity; • limited available transport to sporting facilities and events; • inability to pay for sporting equipment, fees and transport; and • reduced access to professionals that encourage participation in physical activity. The Opportunity: Over 26% of Central Highlanders are aged under 15 years (7800 children), compared to the Queensland average of 20%. There are 31 primary schools and 9 secondary schools in the Central Highlands region; 80% are located outside of Emerald, but all fall within a 150km radius from Emerald. It is well documented that sports participation in rural, remote, and regional Australian communities has been shown to improve social cohesion and health outcomes. It can bring regional communities together; contribute positively to community identity and sense of place; promote social interaction and community inclusion; and play an important role in providing opportunities for physical activity and improved health outcomes. Rugby union is unique in that it is a game that can be enjoyed by boys and girls of all sizes and shapes, and it also can support young people’s leadership opportunities in a number of non- playing roles - referees, administrators, coaches, trainers, etc. The Strategy: The Strategy has several key aims, these being to identify 3-year strategic priorities and key actions for the CHJRU which; • address geographic considerations for rural communities; • reduce the expenses of families and teams; • facilitate safe and secure options to support travel; and • provide access to regional communities to high quality rugby union professionals that encourage participation in physical activity. It also aims to: • Communicate a common understanding of the CHJRU strategic priorities and player potential; • Provide a mechanism to strengthen relationships between key stakeholders relevant to Junior Rugby Union • Support the CHJRU to accurately measure the success of planned actions. The Strategy was developed with extensive input from members and endorsed at Management Committee meeting 25 March 2020. CENTRAL HIGHLANDS GRASS ROOTS JUNIOR RUGBY UNION DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2020 – 2023 Pg 2 of 6 Central Highlands Grass Roots Junior Rugby Union Development Strategy Purpose: To connect schools and teams in the Central Highlands with resources and opportunities to significantly grow player numbers and support quality and enjoyable local competitions for boys and girls. Vision: By 2023, CHJRU will double the number of players and teams playing Junior Rugby Union from within the Central Highlands region CHJRU Unique Value Proposition: Rugby Union is an inclusive game for boys and girls of all sizes and shapes, played in a fun, safe and supportive environment.

Nick Scully Principal St Brendan’s College I am shortly leaving St Brendan’s as Principal, but would like to leave you with a challenge in the form of a Christmas wish. I’m not sure whether I will offend anyone. I hope not and I apologise if I do. I guess I can get away with it because I am leaving to go back to Melbourne as Principal of Kolbe Catholic College, Greenvale Lakes. While it does feel quite distant, Christmas Day will be upon us very soon. I ask you to visualise a Nativity scene. We may pull a set out of a box each year and place it under a Christmas tree. With this image in our minds, here is my Christmas wish: God’s Son could have arrived in power, glory and wealth; instead he came in weakness, vulnerability and poverty. By coming in weakness, he made us aware of our own power. By coming in poverty, he made us aware of our own richness. This is the great paradox and we celebrate the same paradox at Easter by coming to new life through suffering and death. Part of the paradox is that the God who’s born into our world at Christmas is always being born into a world that doesn’t have room for him; into our crazy world he has come uninvited. Because he’s so much out of place, even though he must be here, his place is with those others for whom there is no room.

  • MSA Newsletter
    MSA Newsletter A newsletter for Member Schools of Marist Schools Australia published fortnightly during term time From Brother Michael Green 15 November 2011 Dear Members of the Marist Family It’s a curious, ironic and regrettable phenomenon, what has come to be called “schoolies”. Curious because its hedonism and indulgence contradict so much of the value-base that parents and schools have been diligently nurturing in students for all their lives; ironic because it is typically juxtaposed to meaning-laden and uplifting graduation liturgies and rituals (often as closely the day before!); and regrettable because it does not have to happen. But for the rest of this month, it’s all on again, folks! Tempting though it might be for us to take a benign view of this hyped school-leavers’ party week – to believe that it is all going to be like a PG-rated “Spring break” movie, and that really it’s only kids having some well-deserved and mainly innocent fun – to do so would be at least naïve, if not negligent. Yes, some people are reluctant to throw a wet blanket over what they judge to be the kind of legitimate hijinx that teenagers innocently get up to, and they may even feel a twinge of hypocrisy in doing so when they recall some of their own adolescent antics. Naïve. Negligent. The various events around the country (and in other places such as Bali and on cruise ships) are fuelled from a number of sources: from tourist operators out to make a quick buck; from smart marketing to an easily targeted and exploited group; from media outlets given to prurient and populist reporting; from peer pressure and the need that younger people feel to do whatever their conventional wisdom judges to be “cool”; and of course from the natural human desire to ritualise and to celebrate.
