Rugby League

St Thomas More College has a strong culture in rugby league, with our First XIII representing the college at Confraternity Shield each year, claiming silverware at this prestigious schoolboy’s carnival in 2014, 2015 and 2019. Some of STMC’s Rugby League alumni include NRL players Jaiyden Hunt, Darius Farmer & Daniel Vidot. The rugby league program at the college operates in Terms 1, 2 & 4 with the focus being on preparation & pathways for students toward the prestigious Confraternity Shield ‐ also known as the Queensland Independent Secondary Schools Rugby League (QISSRL) Carnival.

As part of the rugby league program students will also compete in the SECA Inter‐School sport competition and other trial games and rugby league carnivals throughout the school year. Like other sports at St Thomas More College, students can progress to representative teams, through our Eastern Taipans district and Met West trials.
