Confraternity Shield
This year, for the first time, the College had five students who had the opportunity to attend the Confraternity Shield to play with schools short on numbers. Will Elder, Kurt Clarke and Lachlan Hart played for St Patrick’s College Gympie coached by Brisbane Broncos Development Officer Darren Burns. Gaby Anderton and Breanna Hoskin played for St Joseph’s College Toowoomba. We are hoping to keep this connection going with the St Joseph’s Girls team in future years.
