Rugby League
Our programme is regarded as one of the strongest in the country, achieving outstanding results at both provincial and national levels in rugby league. Our mission is to support the holistic development of our dual rugby code athletes and enhance pathways to perform across all levels in either code.
In 2023, our 1st XIII Senior Rugby League etched their names in the history books by becoming the first South Island based school to win the National Secondary Schools Tournament in 23 years.
Our kura has a large contingent of students who play club football in the Canterbury Rugby League competitions (Monday & Wednesday nights) and rugby union on a Saturday. At St Thomas our students are developing a foundational understanding of physical, technical, tactical and mental skills through both curriculum based and extra-curricular learning opportunities.
Opportunities to represent the college in rugby league arise at different times of the year through the 9-side and CRL Schools competitions culminating in the National Secondary School Tournament in winter tournament week for our senior students.
