Rugby - Home

Rongotai College was formed in 1928 and has remained at the current location since.

The college has offered rugby as a sport since 1928 and played their first fixture against Wellington College on 9 June that year. While that game was a loss the college recorded it's first win the following week on 16 June.

Over the years Rongotai has enjoyed a strong rugby programme and has, at times, competed in the Wellington U19 competitions with Wellington College, St Patricks College and St Patricks Silverstream.

The rugby programme at the college really benefits from the number of old boys who return to give their time to the younger generation of players and embody the school motto Lumen Accipe et Imperti (receive the light and pass it on).
